Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented door lock is dedicated for installation on the rear right door of Mercedes W164 series vehicles. Its placement on the vehicle is factory-defined as the rear right side, meaning the mechanism's design, housing shape, and mounting point locations are optimized exclusively for this position. This ensures the lock works seamlessly with factory hinges, handles, and control systems, without requiring any modifications.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

As an original Mercedes part, the lock has been designed to meet manufacturer standards for safety, durability, and precise mechanism operation. Its construction is intended for compatibility with the factory door locking system, central locking, and the vehicle's electronic control system (if present in the specific car configuration). The presence of the OEM part number and available replacement numbers facilitates unambiguous identification and selection of the correct lock for a specific body version.

The original door lock from this series ensures:

• correct positioning relative to the door pillar and frame,
• stable locking when closed,
• consistency with Mercedes' original design solutions.

Product Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered door lock is categorized as a used body part. This type of component, sourced from disassembly, allows for maintaining the vehicle's original specifications while reducing repair costs. For door locks, preserving factory manufacturing tolerances is particularly important, which translates to proper door closing, absence of excessive play, and correct interaction with seals and guides.

Choosing a used door lock for a Mercedes is a solution that combines:

• savings compared to new parts,
• preservation of original construction and fit,
• reduction of waste through the reuse of functional parts.

Application in the Door System and Installation Aspects

The door lock plays a crucial role in the vehicle's safety and user comfort system. It is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door leaf, interaction with interior and exterior handles, and – depending on the car's configuration – integration with the central locking system. For the Mercedes W164, a correctly selected rear right-side lock allows for restoring full door functionality after mechanical damage, wear, or failure of the previous component.

During installation, it is important to maintain the correct sequence for removing upholstery, guides, and linkages, as well as to check for proper engagement of the mechanism with the striker on the pillar. The original lock from this series has been designed to allow for predictable and repeatable installation, which facilitates the work of both professional workshops and experienced DIY users.

Mercedes Doors and Door Panels – Selecting the Right Components

In the case of body repairs, it is particularly important that all components from the Doors and Door Panels category are structurally consistent with each other. This applies not only to the outer skin but also to hinges, window guides, locks, and strikers.
