Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the tailgate area on the right side, which allows for precise fitment to the commercial vehicle body structure. Its placement in the rear zone ensures it is responsible for the proper closing and locking of the tailgate, and thus for the secure protection of the cargo space while driving.

Thanks to the appropriate profile and geometry of the mechanism, the lock works with factory hinges and strikers, minimizing the risk of play, rattling, and leaks in the rear part of the vehicle.

Construction and function of the lock mechanism

The right-side tailgate lock uses a classic mechanical locking system that handles the loads resulting from frequent opening and closing of the tailgate. The construction is prepared for operation in conditions typical for commercial vehicles – frequent loading cycles, variable temperatures, and exposure to road dirt.

Properly selected working elements ensure:

• stable locking of the tailgate when closed,
• repeatable operation of the mechanism during repeated use,
• correct cooperation with the factory rear body opening system.

Condition of the component and benefits of use

The offered lock comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair of the vehicle while maintaining the proper fit for the specific model. Choosing an original part from dismantling reduces the risk of assembly problems typical for universal aftermarket replacements.

Using this lock in the rear right part of the tailgate allows for restoring proper closing and locking, which translates into vehicle usage comfort, noise reduction, and better protection of the transported cargo.

Selection and technical compatibility

The component should always be selected based on the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which guarantees compatibility with the specific body version and vehicle year. Thanks to this, the lock mechanism maintains the correct operating geometry, and installation does not require modifications or adjustments to the mounts.

In case of doubts during selection, it is worth comparing the shape of the housing, the arrangement of mounting holes, and the type of striker with the previously installed element to ensure full compatibility with the tailgate system.
