One other thing,

A few years ago I talked to a locksmith about some home locks of mine. He mentioned that no door locks come with lubricant from the factory. He recommended TriFlo once a year. It has worked nice on my home locks. So while I was cleaning my van up this last weekend I shot all the locks, door handles, latches, and hinges. I'm sure any lube will do, but they sure work nice!

I replaced all the door locks, latches, and handles on my van recently. It's nice a crisp opening and closing doors now. My old handles had been actuated so much on the outside that they giggled around due to extensive metal wear. New ones are so nice. You can't find a full lock set for pre 97 vans so you have to get to newer locks when you replace them. It takes a little grinding on the hole in the van to get them to fit, but other than that they work great.
