Door lock fell off!

[NellyTooTall]

Well… I closed my door today and the locking mechanism just fell out.

I am out of warranty, so I need to figure this out myself… ideas?

I see two choices.

1) Dig into removals and try to see what failed as far as the cylinder retainer.
Actually it might not be as internal as I was first thinking, see video around 5:42 on retaining screw.

2) Take it to a lock smith.
It may not be that expensive of a fix, even if it is and you decide to go back to option 1, I bet you learn something on how to fix it .

FWIW I recently went through as similar issue with a BMW, I had to get some parts from a lock smith along with a little wisdom, but I think with the Jeep it might just be as simple as that retaining screw.

I did buy these but seems like a very temporary solution ha

This worked! Appeared the screw had worked itself loose. Set the lock mechanism back in and tightened screw(t25) and back in tight/good as new!
