COMPATIBLE WITH ROD & CABLE MECHANISMS

Kits are available to install on both the standard rod style linkage and the new cable style linkage. Find out more about differences between Rod and Cable Style Systems.

Many new cars and trucks use a cable (instead of a rod) to connect the lock knob to the latch.  Our new C Series lock kits come with specially designed door lock actuators and hardware to make installation of door locks in these vehicles a breeze.   Cable systems are currently used on the  Focus, Matrix, Tundra, Colorado & Canyon, and late model Corolla's and Accord's.  See our Cable Door Lock page for more listings.

Our standard Rod style kits make it possible to add power door locks to most other cars and trucks that do not have the cable style system.   Rod style systems are still the predominate style of door lock systems installed in today's cars and trucks.

CENTRAL LOCKING

MES door lock kits are central locking. Your existing lock knobs and door key activate the system. Locking or unlocking either of the front doors will automatically lock or unlock all of your vehicle's doors. Switches are not necessary for proper operation.  Kits are available for 2 and 4 doors and an extra actuator can get you going in 5 doors.

POWER

With it's large powerful motors, MES outclasses the competition  MES actuators are capable of dead lifting over 8 pounds!  This is a true rating and is equal to the 15 pound claim of other actuators.  

Our premium actuators also have low friction mechanisms.  The motor is separated from the mechanism with a clutch.  This means that you won't have to move the motors in the actuators every time you lock or unlock the doors by hand.  These actuators are specially designed to eliminate adding extra effort onto your lock knobs.

RELIABILITY

MES door locks are Swiss made to assure you of many years of service. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations made in China and Taiwan.  We've been selling selling door locks for over 20 years, and the MES kits are the best kits we've ever carried.  For over 10 years now, MES is the only brand of door lock kits that we sell at A1 Electric.  

KEYLESS ENTRY

Our door lock kits are available in complete kits with keyless entry systems and with alarm/keyless entry systems for the ultimate in convenience.  Our MES systems are also compatible with any keyless entry system or alarm system that has pulsed negative door lock/unlock outputs.
