Just installed the standard Vans door lock. Not the greatest. In a prior post I think that  Mr. Saint put out the idea that it would fit best if the lock stopped the mechanism at a 180 degree angle rather than the 90 degree that seems to be the default. 



Since my pin throw is about 1.2" and the stock lock has a .90" lever, I installed it the intuitive easy way. This also eliminated having to put a hole on the inboard side of the door.



After installation you will note that the standard throw lever sits too far inboard to catch the geared pin. You have to weld or rivet an extra piece on the lower part of the lever. You can also tighten up the fit at this point to take out the wiggle factor.
