Wabco 1835102020 Door Lock

Description

The Wabco 1835102020 Door Lock, also known as an Elb-Lock, is a critical component within trailer air brake systems. It is designed for use in trailer brake controls, ensuring secure locking mechanisms for trailer doors. This door lock meets OE specifications, providing reliable performance and durability. Its dimensions are 235 x 230 x 460 mm, offering a compact yet robust solution for securing trailer access.

Key Features & Benefits

This door lock, it's a pretty simple part really. It physically locks the access door to your trailer’s air brake control system. That door covers all the valves and levers where you adjust the brakes, basically everything you need to maintain and work on the air brake system. It's just a latching mechanism, usually with a key, to keep things secure. Some are a simple sliding bolt, others use a keyed lock. Think of it as a guard for a critical area. It prevents unauthorized access to the brake controls. Someone couldn’t just mess with the settings while you’re driving or while the trailer is parked, potentially causing serious issues. It also helps keep dirt, dust, and moisture out of the sensitive air brake components. It’s a small piece, but it plays a role in safety and maintaining the system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this lock fails, the door won't stay securely closed. That means debris can get in, or someone could inadvertently (or intentionally) tamper with the brakes. You’ll notice if it's not working properly because the door will be loose, rattle around, or just won’t stay latched. More importantly, a functioning door lock ensures the integrity of your braking system, and that’s obviously critical for safe towing. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and they’re usually a straightforward swap. You’ll want to make sure you get one that matches the existing latching mechanism on your trailer.
