Japanese term

キバ

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
This appears to be a part of a door. The only two things I suspect are 牙 as in fang (but I doubt one would translate it as such) or that this is short for "Key..." something.
Proposed translations (English)

Thank you Thanks to everyone for their comments. Other files in the same job suggested this referred to a keyless entry system. Unfortunately not without any helpful context.

So..キバ or キパ? That's an interesting find, Ganesh-san.
Nicholas can you confirm which kana is used on your original? (in small point size, the screen display can not image the P phoneme with anything better than a B 濁り.
But with buzz terms of the car industry, anything is possible, beginning with キバ for キーバー. )

door latch?

Could this be the latch of your car door's locking mechanism?
by this term I only mean the metal part that yields when pressed against the D ring fixed on the door frame, triggering it to swing into a new position that keeps the door securely shut, not necessarily locked.
Something like this? (see link)
