How does an outside door handle work in a car?
The outside door handle is also called the exterior door handle in a car. When you pull the outside car door handle, it transmits the force through a connecting linkage or cable to the door latch mechanism inside the door. This action triggers the door latch mechanism, causing the latch hook or bolt to be released, transitioning the door from a locked state to an unlocked state. The door latch mechanism is designed to quickly and reliably disengage the locking device when the handle is pulled, allowing the door to be opened smoothly. The entire work process relies on the coordinated operation of the outside door handle, the connecting linkage or cable, and the door latch mechanism to provide a convenient user experience and safety.

5. Install new handle: install the new door handle and secure it in place.
