Purpose and fitment

The mechanism is designed for the rear right side of Mercedes W169 and W245 series vehicles, ensuring compatibility with the factory door geometry. Its placement in the rear right door area allows for a direct replacement of a damaged lock without the need for modifying the door panel or structure.

Its original Mercedes origin ensures proper cooperation with the factory latch, handle, and linkages, as well as the central locking control system, if the vehicle is equipped with one.

Construction and function of the lock mechanism

The rear door lock mechanism is responsible for the controlled locking and unlocking of the door, keeping the door securely in a closed position, and ensuring proper operation with both the exterior and interior handles. The construction intended for the rear right side of the vehicle provides:

• correct alignment of the latch relative to the body pillar,
• consistent operation with factory linkages and levers,
• proper response to handle movement and potential central locking control.

As a result, the lock maintains a secure door closure while driving, minimizing play and unwanted vibrations within the rear part of the body.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original design. In practice, this means a favorable combination of price and factory fitment, which is particularly important for components responsible for closing and door security.

Using an original lock mechanism in the rear right part of the body reduces the risk of adjustment issues and facilitates service work – installation is based on factory mounting points and the cable routing specified by the manufacturer.

Application in the door and door panel system

As an element from the Doors and door panels group, the lock mechanism works directly with the door skin, hinges, seals, and the body pillar. A correctly selected rear right lock affects:

• secure door closing without excessive force,
• stable retention of the door in the closed position,
• proper operation of handles and any central locking system.

This is particularly important in daily use, where repeated opening and closing of the rear doors requires efficient, repeatable mechanism performance.
