Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented lock belongs to the Locks and Latches category and is designed for installation in the front right door of a Volkswagen Tiguan 5N generation. The component is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door, interaction with the cylinder, and the correct transmission of key movement to the locking mechanism. Its placement in the front-right zone allows for a direct replacement of the factory lock without the need for door structure modifications.

Construction and compatibility with the VAG group

The lock was developed as an original part for the Audi brand, which means it maintains the quality and dimensional standards used throughout the entire VAG group. As a result:

• it fits the factory mounting hole in the door,
• it works with the original cylinder and linkages,
• it maintains the correct operating geometry of the latch and lock tongue.

The presence of the OEM number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specification facilitates matching the part according to the manufacturer's catalog or the VIN number, which is particularly important when selecting components within a single group platform.

Condition, verification, and advantages of using a used part

The offered lock is a used part, which in practice means real cost savings while maintaining the original construction and fitment. This type of component, sourced from dismantling, allows you to:

• maintain technical consistency with other door components,
• minimize the risk of installation problems typical of low-quality replacements,
• preserve the factory operating parameters of the locking mechanism.

Before being reintroduced to the market, locks of this type are standardly verified for the correct operation of the mechanism, which reduces the risk of improper locking or play in the linkages.

Benefits of installing an original door lock

Choosing an original front right door lock for a Volkswagen Tiguan 5N translates into a number of practical operational benefits:

• Factory fitment – maintaining the original geometry and mounting points facilitates installation and reduces service time.
• Stable mechanism operation – proper transmission of key and linkage movement reduces the risk of the door jamming.
• Consistency with the security system – a properly functioning lock supports the vehicle's protection function against unauthorized entry.

Selection and additional technical information

When selecting a lock, it is worth paying attention to the placement on the vehicle (front, right side) and compatibility with the model platform. Data such as the OEM part number, interchangeable numbers, brand, and condition are detailed in the technical specification section and can be used for verification in manufacturer catalogs or at a service center.
