Purpose and function of the lock

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear right side of the Ford Transit Connect Mk2 body, where it is responsible for mechanical locking of the door wing and cooperation with the handle and rods. A correctly selected component in this area is crucial for:

• maintaining the tightness of the rear body section,
• stable door closing while driving,
• protecting the cargo area against unauthorized opening,
• maintaining the correct geometry of hinges and latches.

Thanks to the use of an original lock, compatibility with the factory locking system is maintained, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues.

Construction and fitment for Ford Transit Connect Mk2

The lock has been designed specifically for the construction of the rear right wing in the Ford Transit Connect Mk2, taking into account the characteristic door profile and the way the rods are routed. This means that:

• mounting points correspond to the factory holes in the door panel,
• the mechanism works with the original handle and internal levers,
• the correct sequence of locking and unlocking the wing is maintained.

Such fitment promotes trouble-free replacement of a damaged or worn component without the need for bodywork modifications or adaptation of other parts.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered lock comes from disassembly, which allows for maintaining the original manufacturer's specification while optimizing repair costs. A used component of this type is particularly beneficial when:

• mechanical damage to the lock has occurred as a result of a rear-end collision,
• there are problems with closing or locking the right door wing,
• it is necessary to replace the element with one that meets the factory standard.

Choosing an original lock from the secondary market allows you to maintain the structural integrity of the rear bodywork and avoid compromises typical of replacements of uncertain origin.

Benefits of using an original rear door lock

Using this lock in a Ford Transit Connect Mk2 brings a number of practical operational benefits:

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the door structure and locking system, without the need for modifications.
• Consistent operation with other elements of the locking system, such as rods, handles, and latches.
• Possibility of restoring the correct closing of the rear right wing after mechanical damage.
• A solution particularly useful in commercial vehicles, where reliable closing of the cargo area is important for the safety of the transported load.

For workshops and fleet users, this is a way to perform a technically correct repair without excessively extending vehicle downtime.
