Different Latches?

I currently have these doors on me Defender (see attached pics)

Iv just bought the series type doors (After some decent advice and opinions off you dudes! Cheers)

Iv gone for the Anti-burst type latches and just wondered if my slam plates will be the same for both types of latch or will i have to get the matching slam plates for the new locks?

Appologise for ****e pics, had to take the with me torch as its dark now

Cheers, Scott

Nope, not the same, you'll need to get the series door plates..cheap though.

Cheers for that mate! Sorry for late reply

Do the lock barrels turn the hook shaped bit of metal to lift up the black catch on the back of me latch itself?

They drop a hook that stops you lifting the handle on the outside..have you got the split glass sliding windows? If so you'll need the little twist and press metal knob that stops you just sliding the window open from the outside too..

Yeah its the split glass type, they look ace i cant wait to get em on and have some doors that work for a change! I got the window locker mate i odered it wi the doors.

I cant seem to work out where the hook shaped bit on the barrel would go on the latch i have (See pic) Just me being daft again lol!

Haha..just looked at mine, i've got the 2 piece type so i can take tops off in summer...theres no hole for any lock on the drivers door!

Ah well. padlock and latch as usual....

Oh right, you've got the later, more expensive type...your existing door striker plate will fit them fine. Make sure you order the right locks and barrels though...

just a quick one, with that rear door latch you've got, any ideas on changing the locking bolt? Ive changed the latch on the rear door but still had no luck with the lock barrel. It was suggested that there should be a small hole on the side of the barrel tube but there doesnt appear to be one, any ideas on how i could be able to get the lock out to put it in the new one.

cheers matt
