Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear, right part of the vehicle body, in the cargo or passenger door area of the Ford Transit Connect. The placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as rear – right side, which facilitates the selection of the correct component when replacing a damaged or worn-out mechanism.

Thanks to its precise fit to the door structure, the lock works with the factory latch, cables, and handles, ensuring proper closing of the wing and stable retention of the door in the closed position while driving.

Technical and functional characteristics

As an element from the Locks and latches category, the rear right door lock is responsible for:

• mechanical locking of the door in the closed position,
• cooperation with the factory opening system from the inside and outside,
• stable guidance of the lock tongue relative to the striker on the body,
• maintaining the tightness and geometry of the door fit to the body.

The design solution is adapted to the specifics of the Ford Transit Connect, which translates into proper door operation in daily use – both with frequent opening in commercial applications and in typical private use.

Condition of the item and benefits of use

The offered lock is a used item, which allows for an economical replacement while maintaining the original geometry and operating characteristics of the mechanism. Compared to low-quality replacements, using an original Ford solution helps maintain proper door fitment and reduces the risk of problems with closing or excessive play.

Replacing a worn-out lock with a functional component of this type helps eliminate typical operational symptoms, such as:

• the need to slam the door harder,
• the door "bouncing back" after closing,
• irregular locking or unlocking of the door.

Professional selection and application in a Ford

When selecting a door lock for a Ford Transit Connect, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of the placement on the vehicle and its inclusion in the Locks and latches group to avoid installation problems. This model is intended specifically for the rear, right side, which allows for direct replacement of the damaged element without interfering with the door structure.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the door area in your Ford and need other elements from the same group, such as locking mechanisms, cylinders, or strikers, check the available parts in the Ford locks and latches category.
