Intended Use and Fitment for BMW 1, 2, and 4 Series

The presented right front door lock has been designed for the BMW F-series platform, covering selected versions of the 1, 2, and 4 Series. Its placement on the vehicle is the front right side, meaning installation in the right front door, replacing the factory lock mechanism and cylinder. Thanks to its construction compliant with BMW standards, the part works with the original exterior door handle and the vehicle's factory locking system.

Construction and Function of the Right Front Door Lock

The lock serves as the central component responsible for mechanically locking and unlocking the door, as well as for correctly positioning the latch relative to the body pillar. The mechanism works with the cylinder lock and the door handle, transferring the rotational movement of the key to the operation of the internal pawls. The design provided by BMW ensures:

• stable door locking when closed,
• compatibility with the factory locking system,
• correct latch guidance relative to the body,
• preservation of the original geometry of the gaps between the door and the body.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Lock

Choosing an original lock from the BMW locks and latches category allows for maintaining the technical consistency of the entire door system. The part is from a disassembly, thus retaining factory design solutions while offering an economical alternative to a new part. Key advantages include:

• factory fit for the right front door in selected BMW F-series models,
• preservation of original mounting geometry and anchor points,
• no need for bodywork or adaptation modifications,
• possibility of using the existing key and lock cylinder (after appropriate matching).

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The offered lock is a used part, originating from an original BMW vehicle. This type of part is ideal for accident repairs, replacing a damaged mechanism after an attempted break-in, or when the lock stops properly securing the door. By retaining the factory design, it's possible to restore the door's original functionality without compromising mechanical security.
