Chevrolet S10 Blazer Locks and Hardware

Having locks on your Chevrolet S10 Blazer keeps your doors from flying open while driving and protects the vehicle when parked. Introduced in 1982, the Blazer is a compact SUV with plenty of interior space for people and things. With a little research, you can find answers to your questions and all you need in terms of Chevrolet S10 Blazer locks and hardware.

The lock on your S10 model of Blazer is the metal piece that you see when standing outside. It is actually a cylinder that connects one side of the door to the other. This is where you put your key when you want to unlock your doors. The lock also works with other types of hardware, including:

• Latch assembly - Located inside the door on your Blazer S10 is a latch assembly. This is a metal piece with a latch on top. When you turn the key, the latch moves and allows the door to open.
• Handle - Both inside and outside of your vehicle is a handle. Though each handle looks slightly different based on its location, both work in the same way. You can lift it up to open the door when getting in and out.
• Switch - Newer models of this Chevrolet come with a power switch system. This switch system lets you lock and unlock a single door or all doors. The switch has small buttons that correspond to your locks.
• Release cable - The cargo area of your car has a release cable instead of a latch assembly. This long cable connects the lock to the door. It tells the rear door to open when you unlock it.
• Lock actuator - Power switch systems will come with a lock actuator that acts like a motor and replaces the latch assembly. Wiring inside this system tells the lock when to open when you push a button or use your key.

If you arent sure what parts your Chevrolet S10 Blazer needs, buying a door lock kit is a good idea. Chevy and other companies make these kits for those who want to replace one or more of their locks. It comes with a lock cylinder, one or more keys, and other basic parts.

A genuine OEM lock is one designed by Chevy for the S10 version of the Blazer. These products may use the name General Motors, too, because GM owns the Chevy brand. OEM, which is the shortened term used in place of Original Equipment Manufacturer, only applies to GM and Chevy products.

All of the locks and hardware for the Chevrolet S10 Blazer not made by Chevy are aftermarket parts. ACDelco, Standard Motor Products, and Dorman all make these products. You need to know the model year of your Chevy Blazer S10 when buying these products. Some models feature a power switch system that uses wiring to control the locks. Others use a latch system that does not require any wires.
