Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear right side of the vehicle, making it a perfect fit for the passenger door architecture. Its placement in the rear body section means the component works in conjunction with the handle mechanism, rods, and central locking system, ensuring proper locking and unlocking of the door.

Technical and functional characteristics

The door lock belongs to the group of components responsible for vehicle safety and comfort. The design provided by the Mercedes brand ensures:

• stable locking of the door leaf in the rear right section of the body,
• compatibility with the factory opening mechanism from both the inside and outside,
• integration capability with the existing central locking system (if present in the vehicle),
• maintenance of proper closing geometry, which reduces unwanted play and noise while driving.

By using an original solution from the same model line, compatibility with factory mounts, guides, and door panels is maintained, which translates into predictable performance of the entire system.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing used parts

The offered door lock comes from the used parts segment, which allows for a reasonable repair cost while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly attractive for maintenance repairs where functionality, structural compliance, and predictable long-term performance are essential.

Choosing a used door lock is also a way to reduce raw material consumption and support automotive recycling.

Application in the door and door panel system

As an element from the Doors and door panels group, the lock contributes to a complete system responsible for closing, sealing, and protecting the vehicle interior. A properly selected and installed lock:

• ensures the door leaf is properly pulled against the body,
• contributes to the correct operation of seals and limits the ingress of outside noise,
• stabilizes the door position while driving, which is important for passenger comfort,
• enables trouble-free opening and closing, even with frequent use of the rear seat.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry and mounting points, the installation of the lock does not require interference with the door structure, which is beneficial both technically and aesthetically.
