The vehicle door has a large aperture (22) in the inner skin (2) over which is fastened a mounting plate (3) carrying servo drives for the window, door lock and other equipment. The mounting plate is pre-assembled and has a door lock (4) fitted at one edge. The lock locates into a recess in the door and is sealed to the door by sealing strips (24). The equipment on the mounting plate, including the door lock, are thus positioned in the dry part of the door. The mounting plate also supports the lock operating linkage as well as the electric feeds to the lock. The mounting plate is covered by the inside trim panel of the completed door.
