Armaplate Fitting Guide: Citreon Relay Side Doors
![]() | The first step in fitting Armaplate to the side door is to remove the door-trim. Remove the trim-plugs with your tack-remover |
Remove the lock-barrel circlip with a pair of long-nosed pliers as you did on the front door. You will not be refitting this item. |
Detach the lever from the lock mechanism... |
and then withdraw the lock barrel... |
|
Put the backing plate in position, reinsert the lock barrel and refit the lock-rod which you detached earlier |
![]() | Fit a circular and rectangular gasket to the front stainless steel plate and apply a small amount of silicone sealant around the stud areas |
Fit the stainless steel plate and fix with the Nyloc Locknuts. |
The inner studs are awkward to reach, so use the special tool available from Armaplate to fit the nuts. |
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! |
The final step in the installation of Armaplate is to make sure that the keyhole is perfectly aligned. Since the locking nuts were not over-tightened, there is still a small amount of adjustment available by gently tapping the edge of the plate |
Looking squarely at the keyhole, make sure the lock-mechanism is in the center of the hole in the Armaplate. If it is not perfectly aligned, use a soft-faced mallet to gentlymove the plate to the correct position |
Finally, close the door, insert the door key and make sure that the door locks and unlocks easily |
Once you are happy that the plate is fitted correctly, replace the inner door panels, door pull and window winder. |
