Directed 524N High-Power Door Lock Motor

The Directed 524N is a high-power, two-wire door lock motor designed to add powered lock operation to most vehicles without factory power door locks. It mounts inside the vehicle door and connects mechanically to the existing lock-rod assembly. Its wiring is intended to connect with the vehicle's door-lock relay circuit for powered locking and unlocking.

This actuator is intended for vehicle owners and installers converting manual door locks to an electrically operated setup. It is also suited to integration with compatible aftermarket keyless-entry, security, or remote-start systems that provide door-lock control. The 524N is a single door-lock motor, so multi-door conversions generally require an appropriately planned actuator setup for each door being converted.

The 524N delivers direct mechanical movement rather than an audio-related performance characteristic. Its super heavy-duty, low-friction motor design is specified to pull up to 10 pounds. That pulling capability is intended to help move a properly adjusted factory lock rod assembly.

Directed uses a compact actuator format with a black plastic-and-metal construction. The motor measures 9.75 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.35 inches high, helping it fit within many vehicle door cavities when adequate clearance is available. Correct placement is important so the actuator and linkage can move freely throughout the full lock and unlock travel.

The 524N includes mounting hardware and wire for the actuator installation. It is a practical component for a custom power-lock retrofit, but proper relay control, door-panel removal, linkage alignment, and vehicle-specific wiring are required. Professional installation is recommended when working around door mechanisms, wiring, and factory lock components.

Key Features

• Two-Wire Motor: Uses a two-wire actuator configuration for power-lock applications.
• High Pull Rating: Specified to pull up to 10 pounds.
• Low-Friction Design: Supports smooth movement through the lock linkage.
• Universal Retrofit Use: Adds power locks to most manual-lock vehicles.
• Lock-Rod Attachment: Connects directly to the existing lock rod assembly.
• Included Installation Items: Includes the motor, mounting hardware, and wire.

Design & Installation

The 524N combines plastic and metal construction in a black, compact actuator assembly. Its low-friction design and super heavy-duty motor are intended for repeated door-lock movement in an automotive door environment. The actuator is specified as an electric product and does not require batteries or wireless technology.

Mount the actuator inside the door where its travel can align with the factory lock rod without binding. Attach it to the lock rod assembly using the included hardware, then connect its two wires to the applicable door-lock relay circuit. Verify clearance from the window mechanism, wiring, and door-panel components before final reassembly.
