Door Check Strap Doors

It’s important to choose high-quality door check straps for OEM Jeep doors and aftermarket doors. Off-road vehicles often face situations where keeping your doors under control is important. For example, when you park your Jeep on an incline, the last thing you want is for the door to get away from you. An adjustable door check strap can adapt to a wide variety of vehicle types, door types and model years.

What Are Door Check Straps?

Door check straps are also known as door limiting straps. These thick, durable nylon straps help to prevent your vehicle’s doors from opening too wide. Without them, a heavy Jeep door could swing open out of control, potentially damaging the hinges or slamming into the paint job. It’s easy for a gust of wind to put significant pressure on Jeep doors, which is why having check strap door protection is always a must.

Many trucks and 4x4s can benefit from door limiting straps as well. When you’re in a crowded parking lot, you don’t want doors swinging into the vehicle parked next to you. At the same time, doors need to open enough for you to climb in and out of your truck without problems.

How Long Do Door Check Straps Last?

Heavy-duty aftermarket door check straps are strong. They can stand up well to off-road conditions and seasonal weather. That said, after many years of usage, even a durable nylon weave can start to fray.

If you notice minor tears, cuts or fraying, it’s best to simply replace the straps instead of risking a costly accident with your doors. If you’re swapping full doors with half-doors or tube doors at the start of the season, don’t forget to hook up compatible door check straps at the same time.

How Much Do Door Check Straps Cost?

The price of Jeep Wrangler door check strap kits is within reach of any owner’s budget. You can replace a pair of frayed straps for under $10. If you need to install the hardware to hold the check straps in place for aftermarket doors, you’re only looking at $40–$50 for the complete kit.
