 The GMC door handle works hard every time your vehicle is used, triggering the latch inside the door panel to release when the door needs to be opened. While this may sound like a simple and insignificant function, it is more complicated than you may think. The latching mechanism includes a rotor with a series of teeth that are designed to engage a striker that is positioned on the frame of the door. Both the interior GMC door handle and the exterior one are connected to the latch mechanism, causing the rotor to turn when operated. The teeth of this rotor grip the striker to hold the door securely closed while the vehicle is moving, preventing it from swinging open in traffic.
 When you operate your GMC door handle, the latching mechanism causes the rotor to turn, releasing the grip on the striker to allow the door to swing open freely. If the GMC door handle on either the interior or exterior of the vehicle door fails to operate the latch properly, the vehicle door can begin to have trouble latching securely, leaving it likely to swing open at unexpected and unsafe times, or refuse to open when you are trying to enter or exit your vehicle. The GMC door handle is tough and reliable, operating efficiently to trigger the latch thousands of times during the life of the vehicle, used to tug the heavy vehicle door open and closed many times, but wear will eventually take its toll.
