Audi A4 B8 A5 8F Front Door Lock Barrel Coil Cylinder Key Right O/S F107837168BF

Audi A4 B8 A5 8F Front Door Lock Barrel Coil Cylinder Key Right O/S is a precision door lock barrel with a coil and cylinder, designed for the driver or passenger side depending on the market, mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. This component from the Locks and Latches group is responsible for the mechanical operation of locking and interacting with the key, ensuring the proper functioning of the cabin access system. Using an original Audi component allows for maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the door mechanism.

Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented front door lock is intended for installation in the front – right side of the body zone in Audi A4 B8 generation and Audi A5 8F models. It is responsible for interacting with the mechanical key, transferring rotational movement to the locking mechanism, and ensuring correct communication with other elements of the door locking system.

This element is particularly important in situations where there are problems with opening or closing the door from the right side, the lock cylinder is jamming, or there is no response to turning the key. Replacing the complete cylinder with the coil and key restores the correct, predictable operation of the mechanism.

Construction and technical characteristics

The lock barrel consists of a cylinder that works with the key, locking elements, and a coil responsible for proper interaction with the vehicle's electrical system. The design is matched to the factory Audi door mechanism, which allows for installation in place of the original part without the need for modifying the door panel or guides.

As a part from the Locks and Latches group, this component is designed for resistance to repeated opening and closing cycles, as well as typical operational loads occurring in daily car use. The used element retains the original geometry and operating method, which facilitates integration with the existing door mechanism.

Benefits of using an original door lock

Using an original Audi A4 B8 / A5 8F front right door lock provides a number of practical benefits:

• factory fitment to the door structure and outer panel,
• preservation of the manufacturer-intended operation of the key and locking mechanism,
• reduction of the risk of problems with play, jamming, or leaks in the handle area,
• consistency with other elements of the vehicle's locking system.

Thanks to this, replacing a damaged or worn lock with an original, used component allows you to restore the comfort of door operation and correct response to key movement without the need for costly reconstruction of the entire system.

Selection and integration with the vehicle

When selecting a door lock, it is essential to match it to the specific side of the vehicle and the body generation. This model is intended for installation at the front on the right side, which is important both for the geometry of the mechanism and the way it interacts with the handle and other door components.

The original Audi origin promotes compatibility with the factory solutions used in the A4 B8 and A5 8F. This facilitates service installation, reduces labor time, and decreases the risk of needing additional mechanical modifications.

Expansion of the locking system and additional information

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the cabin access zone in your Audi and need other elements from the same group, such as barrels, latches, or handle mechanisms, check the available parts in the Audi Locks and Latches category.
