Masai 4x4 Front Door Check Kits for Land Rover Defender (1987–2016)
Stop your doors from swinging uncontrollably and protect your bulkhead and hinges with the Masai 4x4 Front Door Check Kits. Over time, the original check straps on a Defender can become stretched, rusted, or snapped, leading to "over-extension" that can damage your door skin or A-pillar.
Our comprehensive kits are designed to restore the smooth, stepped opening action of your front doors. Each kit includes the heavy-duty check arm, the bracket, and the essential mounting hardware, providing a complete refresh for your door stay mechanism. These kits are engineered for a precise fit on all Defender models from chassis number AA303555 onwards.
Available Kits & Side Fitment
| Part Number | Side | Compatibility |
| MA02-FDCS-KIT-LH | Left Hand (Passenger/Nearside) | Fits Defender models (1987–2016) from chassis AA303555 onwards. |
| MA02-FDCS-KIT-RH | Right Hand (Driver/Offside) | Fits Defender models (1987–2016) from chassis AA303555 onwards. |
Key Features:
- Full Installation Hardware: Unlike basic straps, these are full kits including the arm and brackets to ensure a rattle-free installation.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant finish to withstand the elements and frequent use.
- OEM Specification: Designed to match the original Land Rover dimensions, ensuring the door opens to the correct angle without straining the hinges.
- Smooth Operation: Restores the "notched" feel of the door stay, preventing the door from catching the wind and slamming shut or swinging open too far.
Installation Note:
These kits are the ideal upgrade if you are currently experiencing "door creak" or if your door no longer stays open on a slight incline. We recommend applying a small amount of lithium grease to the slider arm during installation for maximum longevity and silent operation.
Would you like me to check if these kits are compatible with the rear passenger doors on your 110 Station Wagon as well?
