How often should the door hinge and door lock assemblies be lubricated on Mazda 323?

After every 5000 miles, or four months, the hinges and latch assemblies on the doors, hood, and trunk, are to receive a few drops of light oil or lock lubricant. A small coating of grease should also be applied on the door latch strikers to lessen wear and so they move freely. Also, spray-on graphite lubricant on the door and trunk locks.

How to remove and install the door lock and ignition lock cylinder on Mazda 323?

Remove the door trim panel and the plastic watershield. Reach inside the door and disconnect the control links from the latch. Mark the location of the door latch prior to removal and take out the latch retaining screws from the end of the door, noting that on 1997 and later models there is only one latch screw. Detach the door latch, and if equipped with power door locks, remove the door lock solenoid. For installation, align the door latch and securely tighten the door latch screws. Through the door inside access hole, remove the outside handle retention bolts or nuts, and on 1995 and later models, take out the lock cylinder electrical switch retainer and the switch. Remove the control rod from the lock cylinder, then use pliers or a screwdriver to pry the retaining clip upwards and off of the lock cylinder. Pull the outside handle and lock cylinder from the door. For installation, follow the reverse process. The door key cylinder electrical switch may be tested if necessary without removal; disconnect the electrical connector and check that the electrical continuity between the terminals is 0 ohms (no resistance) when in the unlocked position, and 1 K-ohm when in the locked position.

Mazda 323 Door Lock

The Mazda 323 Door Lock is a lock that protects the cabin, as the various doors are secured with the help of this Door Lock, which is very firm, and only the driver can release the door. Early Mazda models applied a simple key cylinder connected to the latch with metal rods in order that when the key is turned, or the interior knob is pressed down, the exterior handle remains locked out. Power locking would be later added to Mazda cars, with a small electric actuator attached to the latch that would be fed by a switch or body module, allowing drivers to lock or unlock all the doors with a single button rather than reaching out and switching all the knobs. Other generations went even further and applied a numeric keypad on the door skin, which applied a personalized code and allowed entry via the receipt of a coded message sent by the key fob, which was a radio transmitter that was then recognized as part of the car by a receiver, and then confirmation of action by some form of lights or the horn, and even auto relocking in case of a second press. An automatic mode may also automatically shut the doors when the gearbox is switched to drive or the vehicle attains a pre-programmed speed, then automatically reopen when in park. Despite these electronic additions, all Door Locks are focused around the same clasp and striker latch design, and the primary difference in the design work is where the latch is commanded to operate, be it through physical keys, wired switches, or wireless commands. Actuator test and regular lubrication keep Mazda Door Lock in good operation in any 323.
