Sorry no, not the Mazda B2000 pickup truck, were talking about the Bloxwich B2000 door gear which is now available with narrow (N) cams and keepers.
B2000 Door Gear
While this update is more of an evolution than a revolution, it builds on the continued popularity of the B2000 Ø27mm unbushed door gear, a trusted solution in the commercial vehicle and trailer industry. By introducing narrow cam and keeper options, Bloxwich provides an even more versatile locking system without compromising the reliability customers expect.
Ideal for Tight sapces
The narrow (N) cams and keepers are specifically designed for applications where space is restricted. With a reduced height of 30mm compared to the standard 51mm (BCSP)22788/1 keepers), they can make a significant difference in compact installations.

Additional configurations are also available on request, including:
- Top Cam Loose (TCL) models

A Legacy of Reliable Door Locking Solutions
Originally introduced in the 1960s, the Bloxwich B2000 was one the company’s first truck door locking systems. It quickly became the industry standard for trucks and trailers worldwide thanks to its simple, robust, and durable design.
Although the B2000MN bushed model was later introduced around the year 2000, the original B2000 range remains in high demand. Its proven reliability means it is still regularly specified by customers today, and as a result, a wide range of parts continues to be kept in stock.
B2000 – A Familiar Name Beyond Door Gear
Interestingly, the B2000 name is also associated with the classic Mazda pickup range. While unrelated to Bloxwich products, the original Mazda B-Series trucks dating back to the 1960’s built a strong reputation globally before production ended in the late 1990’s.
Rumours suggest a potential revival of the Mazda B2000, featuring modern styling, updated technology, and budget-friendly pricing. While this may not significantly impact the UK market, the enduring enthusiasm for the B2000 name highlights its lasting legacy. If it looks anything like these images, we can see it being a huge success again.
However, unfortunately the above appear to be AI generated or unofficial concept renders only, but hopefully there is some truth in them and we do see the next generation of B series pickups soon.
