Some of the most important parts in a vehicle are often overlooked and taken for granted. A good example is the side door latch, which has a spring-loaded mechanism that retracts to open the door and, upon release of the door handle, protrudes to keep the door closed.
Kiekert AG is the world’s leading manufacturer of side door latches in the automotive sector. It has produced more than 1.9 billion latches for automotive OEMs around the globe since 1857.
