I have been attempting to adjust the door latches, striker plates and door handle remotes on my 53 Suburban. All of these items are original to this truck. I’m confused on the operating mechanics. Do the doors open by lifting the interior door handles up or by pushing them down? On every other vehicle that I have ever owned, you would pull up the inside handle to open. On this truck I have to push down. Also what is the function of pulling the handle up? Seems like it should lock the door? The drivers door latch doesn’t catch the door when closed no matter the position of the striker plate adjustment. It worked a few times, but then I was unable to open the door from inside. I had to roll the window down and use the outside door handle to open it. I wanted to post here to get some input prior to purchasing all new latches, striker plates and door handle remotes. Recommendations for quality replacement parts and vendor would be appreciated too. Any help would be great!
