Purpose and function of the lock set

The presented lock cylinder and key set is dedicated to Volkswagen commercial models, such as the Caddy 2K and Transporter T5, where it is responsible for the mechanical security of the door on the right side of the vehicle. This component works with the factory locking mechanism, enabling manual opening and closing of the door even in the event of central locking issues.

As a part from the Locks and latches group, the cylinder and key constitute an essential component of the body security system, affecting the daily functionality of a commercial vehicle, especially one used intensively in goods transport or service operations.

Construction and vehicle fitment

The set includes a lock cylinder and a matching key, which allows for consistent operation with the existing passenger-side door mechanism. The construction is prepared for installation in the factory lock opening, ensuring proper positioning of the component and correct interaction with the rods and levers inside the door.

The placement on the right side of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the original door layout in the commercial body, and the use of a key-based solution allows for convenient operation both in daily use and in emergency situations.

Benefits of using an original lock

Choosing an original lock cylinder and key set for a Volkswagen translates into a number of practical advantages:

• High installation compatibility with the factory right-side door mechanism.
• Ability to restore full locking and unlocking functionality in a commercial vehicle.
• Stable operation of the lock mechanism, essential for frequent door opening and closing in fleet operations.
• Solution compliant with the manufacturer's design, without the need for bodywork modifications or mounting adaptations.

A set configured in this way allows for a technically correct repair of the locking system, which is important for both the security of the transported cargo and the comfort of the vehicle user.

Component condition and service application

The offered lock and key is a used component, which makes it an attractive option for servicing vehicles used intensively, where a reasonable repair cost is important while maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's solutions. This type of part will work well both in routine repairs and in restoring door functionality after mechanical damage or break-in attempts.
