  • Publication number: 20240151070
    Abstract: A tool for installing a door striker pin. The tool includes a latch portion, a pin positioning portion, and a cover. The latch portion includes a striker pin configured to engage with a latch of a door and an abutment surface configured to engage with a frame member of a cab. The pin positioning portion is coupled to the latch portion. The pin positioning portion defines a striker pin slot extending substantially parallel with the striker pin. The striker pin slot is positioned to align with a striker pin interface for the door. The cover is slidably coupled to the pin positioning portion such that the cover is slidably translatable between a first position where the cover extends across the striker pin slot and a second position where the cover does not extend across the striker pin slot.
