Each kit includes an actuator, connecting rod, adapter, and the mounting hardware needed to attach it to the door lock linkage. Engineered for a balance of strength and space-saving design, the DLA12 works with most cars, trucks, and SUVs and responds to signals from alarm or keyless entry systems to move the door lock rod into locked or unlocked positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will the ORION DLA12 fit my vehicle’s manual lock system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DLA12 is built for universal compatibility with a rotatable, interchangeable head and multiple adapters to link to your existing lock rod. Its slim housing helps it fit inside cramped door cavities where larger actuators won’t. Typical installs require mounting the actuator inside the door, aligning the rod, and securing with the included screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes two mounting adapters and a rotatable head for varied angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact housing dimensions suit tight inner-door spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComes with screws and a connecting rod for straightforward linkage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with many aftermarket alarm\/keyless systems via a two-wire signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow difficult is installation and what tools do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be achievable by a competent DIYer or a professional installer: no complicated electronics are required beyond basic wiring. The DLA12’s two-wire design simplifies connections to an alarm or remote locking module. Wiring and mechanical adjustments typically take one to two hours per door, depending on door panel removal complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTools: screwdriver, pliers, drill (if needed), wire crimpers\/strippers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting uses supplied screws and adapter hardware—no custom brackets usually needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-wire hookup reduces wiring complexity compared with multi-wire actuators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear mechanical travel adjustments allow reliable lock\/unlock movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat durability and performance features does this actuator provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eORION designed the DLA12 with a high-impact resin housing sealed by sonic welding and rivets to keep dust and moisture out.
