Purpose and Vehicle Placement

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear right door, meaning its geometry, mounting points, and method of cooperation with rods and the lock cylinder are adapted to this specific position. This ensures the part maintains proper alignment with the hinges, seals, and body panel, minimizing the risk of leaks and improper closing.

Placement in the rear part of the body requires the lock to correctly interact with both the interior and exterior opening mechanisms, as well as the passenger door locking system. Proper adaptation to this vehicle zone contributes to user comfort and the correct operation of the central locking system.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

As a component from the Locks and Latches group, the door lock is responsible for mechanically latching the door leaf to the body pillar and cooperating with the closing control system. The design intended by the vehicle manufacturer ensures:

• stable holding of the door in the closed position while driving,
• proper cooperation with rods and handles,
• possibility of integration with the central locking system,
• adequate resistance to operational loads in the rear part of the body.

Original origin from the Volkswagen group promotes the maintenance of factory operating parameters, such as closing force, latching characteristics, and compatibility with other door components.

Benefits of Using an Original Lock

Using an original rear right door lock helps avoid problems typical of aftermarket replacements with imprecise fit. A part designed for a specific body model ensures:

• correct positioning relative to the striker on the pillar,
• consistency with the factory safety and latching system,
• maintenance of the door's operational feel as intended by the manufacturer,
• easier installation due to matched mounting points.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or replacement of a worn mechanism when maintaining factory standards for the closing system is desired.

Condition and Practical Application

The part is offered as a used rear right door lock, allowing for economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's construction. This type of part is suitable for both replacing a damaged mechanism and for completing doors after bodywork repairs, where restoring full latching functionality is required.
