Door striker

[rb68rr]

Anybody know what size the wrench is that fits the door striker? It's not an allen wrench so what's it called? Thanks, R.B.

Torx T50 fit mine.

What should the door striker be torqued to?

 

[odium]

Torque value still needed.

Tight enough that it doesn't wiggle but not so tight that it gets loose again. Not really a critical component so just snug it down and you should be fine.

It seems like a critical component as it latches the door shut. If that thing shears my door will pop open.

Does anybody know what the torque value is?

 

[xrunner123]

The strength is not in the torque value. It cannot wiggle and come loose. You can use some blue locktit for added comfort.

Searched far and wide, Alldata and Mitchel print and computer, IATN and IDENTFIX. There is no printed torque spec for the door striker.
