Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented lock, key barrel, and door handle assembly is dedicated to the front right door in Audi A3 / S3 8V generation models. Its placement on the passenger side allows for full functionality of the central locking system and mechanical door opening, which is important for both user comfort and cabin access security.

The component is part of the system responsible for:

• mechanical locking and unlocking of the door,
• cooperation with the vehicle's factory locking system,
• stable mounting of the exterior door handle in the door panel.

Design, color, and fitment

The lock and handle assembly has been designed as a part structurally compatible with Audi's factory solutions, which facilitates installation in the original mounting points. The red color of the housing/external elements allows for better matching to the bodywork in the appropriate paint configuration, reducing the need for additional finishing work.

The design is intended to work with the factory profile of the front right door, which translates into:

• proper alignment with the body panel line,
• correct mechanism operation during opening and closing,
• maintenance of tightness and proper door latching.

Condition, parameters, and installation aspects

The component is offered in used condition, meaning it comes from disassembly and shows signs of wear typical for aftermarket parts, while maintaining the functionality required for further use. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, installation in place of the factory lock is possible without the need for structural modifications to the door.

The technical data also includes information about the wheel rim width associated with the vehicle, which may be helpful in verifying the car's configuration, although it does not directly affect the installation of the lock itself. It is crucial to match the body generation and the installation side, which allows for the correct operation of the locking mechanism.

Benefits of using an original door lock

Using an original door lock with key barrel and handle in an Audi A3 / S3 8V brings a number of practical benefits:

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the door structure and the vehicle's locking system.
• Visual consistency – the red color facilitates integration with a properly configured body.
• Stable mechanism operation – maintaining proper locking and unlocking of the passenger side door.
• Time savings during installation – no need for mounting adaptations or structural modifications.
