ORION DLA12 Universal 12V Power Door Lock Actuator Kit (2-Pack) — Slim, Heavy-Duty Two-Wire Motors

ORION DLA12 is a universal 12V two-wire power door lock actuator kit (2-pack) that converts manual door locks to electric operation with durable, slim housings and all necessary mounting hardware.

If your vehicle lacks central locking or you want an affordable replacement actuator, the ORION DLA12 kit supplies two high-power motors plus rods, adapters and fasteners to add or restore power lock functionality. Built for broad compatibility, these actuators are compact enough to fit tight door interiors while resisting water, dust and everyday wear.

How will this kit work with my vehicle’s manual locks?

The DLA12 mounts inside the door and links to the existing lock rod; it responds to an electrical signal from an alarm, keyless entry or aftermarket switch to push or pull the lock rod. Because it’s a two-wire design, wiring is straightforward and the actuator head can be rotated or changed to match your linkage geometry.

• Includes two actuators, rods and adapters for direct mechanical connection
• Two-wire operation simplifies wiring to power/ground or an aftermarket controller
• Rotatable/interchangeable head adapts to different rod orientations
• Slim profile fits most door interiors without obstructing components

Is the ORION actuator durable enough for daily use?

Yes — the actuator housing is molded from high-impact resin, sonically sealed and riveted to keep out moisture and dust while running quietly. The motor and mechanism are engineered for repeated cycles so they can handle regular locking and unlocking demands over years of use.

• High-impact resin casing resists impacts and vibration
• Sonic sealing and rivets prevent contaminants and reduce noise
• Waterproof and dust-resistant design for varied climates
• Heavy-duty 12V motor delivers dependable actuation force

What’s included and how simple is installation?

The kit arrives ready for installation with two actuators plus connecting rods, adapters, screws and mounting hardware so you can retrofit one or two doors. Installation is intentionally user-friendly: mount the actuator, attach the adapter to the lock rod, secure fasteners, and connect the two wires to your control device or power source.

• Kit contents: 2 actuators, 2 rods, 2 adapters, 6 adapter screws, 4 mounting screws
• Slim footprint helps placement behind door panels without trimming
• Two-wire hookup works with most alarm/keyless entry modules
• Clear mechanical interface reduces custom fabrication needs

Will this actuator interfere with my manual lock lever?

The ORION DLA12 is designed to operate without straining the factory manual lock lever; the mechanism moves the rod directly so manual operation remains functional. If desired, the rotatable head and adapter options let you set linkage geometry to avoid binding or extra load on the existing lever.

• Direct rod actuation prevents excessive force on manual levers
• Interchangeable head positions help avoid interference points
• Compact size limits contact with glass regulators and wiring
• Use included hardware for secure but non-invasive mounting

Who is this for? The ORION DLA12 2-pack is ideal for DIY installers, automotive shops, and vehicle owners who want to add or replace power locks without complex door rebuilds. It suits older cars lacking central locking, vehicles with a damaged actuator needing a straightforward swap, or anyone installing an aftermarket alarm or remote entry system who needs reliable, compact actuators that fit in tight spaces.
