Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock cylinder is dedicated for installation in the front right door of the Skoda Octavia 5E. Positioned in the driver or passenger door area on the outside (depending on the market), this component is responsible for the daily operation of locking and unlocking the vehicle with a key, as well as for the correct transmission of movement to the locking mechanism.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and mounting points, the lock cylinder works with the original handle and internal door mechanism, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork or upholstery modifications.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

As an element from the Locks and Latches group, the front right door lock cylinder has been designed for stable operation in variable operating conditions – during frequent use, exposure to moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The design provides for cooperation with the factory key and the locking mechanism used in the Skoda Octavia 5E.

The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification and matching to a specific body version. To verify compatibility with your own car, it is worth comparing the markings with the vehicle documentation or the existing element, and if necessary, seek the seller's assistance.

The offered lock cylinder is a used element, which in practice means that it comes from disassembly and has been verified for suitability for further operation. This type of component is a reasonable choice for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged lock after a break-in attempt, or for problems with the mechanism in the front right door.

Key benefits of using this solution include:

• preservation of the factory mounting method and cooperation with the door mechanism,
• the ability to restore proper locking and unlocking of the door,
• reduction of repair costs thanks to the use of a used part,
• consistency with the vehicle's original security system.

Application in the vehicle security system

A functional lock cylinder in the front right door is important not only for utility but also in the context of safety. It is responsible for the correct transmission of key movement to the locking mechanism, which affects the effectiveness of locking the vehicle in emergency situations (e.g., in case of problems with the central locking or electrical power supply).

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the door area in your Skoda car and need other elements from the same group, such as lock cylinders, latches, or locking mechanisms, check the available parts in the Skoda Locks and Latches category.
