Purpose and function of the lock

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear left door, which means precise fitment to the door structure, guides, and seals. It is responsible for the mechanical locking of the door and cooperation with the control system, ensuring secure closing and stable retention of the door while driving. The placement in the rear left zone allows for maintaining the factory geometry of the rods and cables, which reduces the risk of jams, play, or improper closing. This is particularly important during urban use, where the door is frequently opened and closed.

Construction and fitment for Ford Focus Mk3

Ford Focus Mk3 Door Lock Catch Actuator Mechanism Rear Left N/S has been designed as a component structurally compliant with Ford's factory standards. The appropriate geometry of the mounts, the layout of the screw points, and the shape of the housing allow for installation in place of the original lock without the need for bodywork modifications or mounting adaptations. The component is prepared to work with the existing door system, which facilitates the transfer of forces from the outer and inner handle to the locking mechanism. This makes it possible to maintain repeatable lock operation, proper closing, and adequate door pressure against the seals.

Condition, origin, and identification parameters

The offered lock comes from the Ford parts group and is a used component, which in practice means that it has been previously used in a vehicle but retains the functionality required for further use. To facilitate identification, markings such as SKU, OEM part number, and available interchangeable numbers have been used, which allows for precise matching of the lock to a specific vehicle configuration. Information about the manufacturer, such as brand, as well as condition and placement on vehicle, enables informed selection of the component based on actual technical data, without the need to guess compatibility.

Benefits of using an original lock

Using a lock dedicated to a specific vehicle model translates into a number of practical benefits:

• maintaining the correct operation of the door locking and unlocking mechanism,
• reducing the risk of leaks resulting from improper closing,
• compatibility with the factory control system and door structure,
• stable mounting thanks to matched mounting points. For the user, this means restoring the comfort of daily vehicle use and improving safety resulting from proper door closure while driving and when parked.

Part selection by OEM number and technical support

To ensure that the selected lock will properly cooperate with a specific version of the vehicle's equipment, it is worth verifying compatibility by OEM number and vehicle identification data. A detailed guide describing how to select components by catalog numbers and vehicle data may be helpful – you can find it in the article Guide: how to select the right car part by VIN and OEM number, where the verification process and a list of questions worth asking the seller are discussed step by step.
