Ford Freestar Locks and Hardware

When you drive around town in your Ford Freestar, getting everyone to practices and activities or just moving cargo, the last thing you need to worry about is your vans locks working properly. Ensuring that your minivans locks remain in good working order is important to secure your vehicle, both when youre driving in it and when you step away. Fortunately, maintaining your Ford Freestar locks and hardware is an easy and quick process that anyone can do.

The lock system on your Ford Freestar is made up of several components, including the lock cylinder, the actuator, the lock switches, and the key. Any of these components can be replaced with either new or used Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM parts or aftermarket parts, depending on your particular needs.

Its important to note that, if youre looking for an actuator for your minivan, you need to select one that matches the location you are replacing. The actuators for the drivers and passengers side doors are designed differently to fit exactly in the space provided. So, double-check the side you are replacing before making a final selection.

In addition, if you need to replace the lock cylinders, you will need to ensure you either have new keys made or that you have the cylinders keyed to match your existing minivan keys so that youre able to unlock your Ford Freestar once you install the new locks.

Though easy, maintaining the locks on your Freestar is a process thats sometimes overlooked. After all, youre typically in a rush when youre unlocking your lock, and the only time you notice it is if its malfunctioning. However, taking a few minutes to pay some extra attention to your locks can save you a lot of time when youre running behind.

• Lubricate the lock: Your Freestars lock is a precision instrument that stands up to extreme temperatures and is still expected to work without fail every time. By using a little graphite forced into the lock, you can ensure the tiny pins that make up the locking mechanism continue to work for years. After inserting the graphite, simply insert and pull out your key a few times to evenly distribute the graphite in the lock.
• Dont force the lock: If your Ford vehicles lock is frozen on a cold day, trying to force it with the key is only going to break the lock, your key, or both. Apply some hand sanitizer to your key and then insert it to help the ice to melt and prevent refreezing in the future. Once the ice has melted, turn the lock with a normal amount of force to avoid damaging the lock.
• Keep the lock clean: Your key can introduce lint and dirt to your minivans lock. Try to blow the dirt and lint off the key before you insert it into the lock. If your lock has already gotten too much of this debris in it, simply use a can of compressed air to blow it out and get it back to good working order.
