Subject: Outer Door Handle/Door Lock Reduced Operating Effort Models: 911 Carrera/911 Turbo 1987
Bulletin Number: 87 – 01
The 1987 Model 911 Carrera and 011 Turbo received new adjustable outer door handles and new door locks to reduce lock operating effort from the outside.
Adjustment Procedure:
- Threaded control rod on door handle is adjustable (3mm Hex, arrow)
- A self-made tool from 2mm thick sheet metal or a spare key without head can be used to turn the control rod to make the adjustment. (See sketches)
- With door trim panel removed and window glass closed, adjustment can be observed through a window glass opening.
Distance between control rod and lock lever should be adjusted to 0.1-0.5mm (See picture).
New type outer door handle and lock can be installed in older cars separately. However, to improve lock operating effort, both handle and lock should be replaced.
