Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is designed for installation in the front right door, i.e., on the passenger side. Its placement in this body area requires a specific body shape and proper arrangement of mounting points, allowing the component to work with the factory construction of the Ford Galaxy Mk3 and S-Max doors.

Proper fitment to the specific position in the vehicle reduces the risk of play, leaks, or improper closing, and facilitates installation in place of the factory lock without the need for modifications.

Function and performance parameters

The lock is responsible for mechanically locking and unlocking the door, working in conjunction with the exterior handle, interior handle, and the central locking system. A properly functioning mechanism ensures:

• stable retention of the door leaf in the closed position,
• smooth opening and closing using the handles,
• proper cooperation with the lock control system,
• maintenance of door sealing within the scope provided by the body design.

By maintaining the original geometry and construction, the lock allows for restoring proper door operation after a collision, operational wear, or failure of the locking mechanism.

Product characteristics and condition

The offered element comes from the group of original Ford parts, which means compliance with factory manufacturing and fitment standards. The lock construction is prepared to work with factory guides, rods, and mounts in the Galaxy Mk3 and S-Max doors, which facilitates service installation.

The part is in used condition, which in practice means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of normal wear while maintaining the functionality required for further use. This solution allows for an economical repair while maintaining compliance with the original vehicle specification.
