Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear part of the body, on the right side, where it is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door wing and cooperation with the central locking system. Its placement in the rear door area means that this component has a direct impact on the convenience of loading and the security of the transported cargo.

Thanks to its precise fit to the Ford Transit Custom design, the lock operates in a predictable manner, maintaining proper geometry relative to hinges, strikers, and guides. The appropriate configuration of the mounts allows for installation in place of the factory component without the need to interfere with the door structure.

Technical and functional characteristics

As a part from the Locks and latches group, this component is responsible for:

• mechanical locking of the right rear door wing,
• cooperation with the vehicle's central locking system,
• transferring force from the actuator or rod to the latch mechanism,
• maintaining a stable door position during driving and while parked.

The design of the lock is adapted to the specifics of a commercial vehicle body, where doors are often heavily used. A properly designed mechanism of latches and levers allows for multiple opening and closing cycles while maintaining operational consistency.

Benefits of using an original Ford lock

Using a component intended for the Ford Transit Custom allows you to maintain consistency with the vehicle's factory locking system. You receive:

• compatibility with the existing central locking installation,
• proper fit to the structure of the right rear door,
• preservation of the mechanism's operating characteristics as intended by the manufacturer,
• reduction of the risk of problems with closing or locking the doors.

For a commercial vehicle like the Ford Transit Custom, a functional rear door lock is important both for the security of the transported cargo and for the comfort of the driver's daily work and loading operations.

Condition, installation, and practical application

The offered lock is a used component, which allows for an economical repair of the locking system while maintaining a proper fit to the vehicle. This is a particularly beneficial solution for used commercial vehicles, where a reasonable service cost while maintaining functionality is a priority.

Installation involves replacing a damaged or worn lock with a component of the same purpose. After proper bolting and connection to the central locking system, the mechanism should work with the vehicle's factory controls, allowing for convenient opening and closing of the rear doors via the remote control or the driver's door lock.

Expanding the locking system and circular economy
