Purpose and function of the lock

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear right part of the vehicle, where it is responsible for precise door locking and cooperation with the soft close system. Thanks to this, the door closes smoothly with minimal pressure, which reduces the need for slamming and decreases mechanical stress on the body.

This type of solution is particularly beneficial in premium class cars, where high operating quality of mechanisms, acoustic comfort of the cabin, and repeatable, stable operation of the door closing system are essential.

Construction and cooperation with the soft close system

The lock has been designed to work with the factory soft close system, which, upon detecting initial closure, pulls the door wing to the final position. The mechanism integrates the locking function and cooperation with the soft close actuator, which allows for maintaining consistency of operation with the vehicle's electronics and comfort system.

Such a solution ensures:

• stable retention of the door in the closed position,
• reduction of vibrations and play at the latch,
• more comfortable entry and exit, especially in urban conditions.

Integration with the vehicle and automatic transmission

The lock is intended for cars equipped with an automatic transmission, which is significant for the logic of comfort and safety systems. Cooperation with the vehicle's electronics allows for proper linking of the door closure status with functions such as central locking, open door signaling, or procedures related to selecting driving modes.

Thanks to this, the rear right side closing system works consistently with other vehicle systems, which translates into predictable, trouble-free use in daily operation.

Performance characteristics and installation

As an element from the Locks and latches group, the rear right door lock with soft close is designed for installation in factory mounting points. This facilitates service work and allows for maintaining the original door guidance geometry and proper seal adhesion.

The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original design and compatibility with the factory comfort system. It is a practical choice for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged lock, or restoring full functionality of the soft close system.

Why choose this lock

Choosing an original rear right door lock with soft close function is a way to maintain the consistency of all door mechanisms in a BMW F10/F11. Proper fit to the body, integration with the soft close system, and cooperation with the comfort system and automatic transmission reduce the risk of operational problems and speed up the installation process.
