Product Specifications

The LOCK CYLINDER is an exterior or structural body component responsible for providing the mechanical key interface for a door, ignition, or boot lock system, allowing the lock to be operated by the correct vehicle key. Body components must maintain correct dimensional fit against adjacent panels, weatherseals, and glass to prevent wind noise, water ingress, and aerodynamic drag.
Components in this category are manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensional standards from the correct substrate material (steel, aluminium, or engineering-grade plastic as specified by the OEM). They are supplied in primer or unpainted finish unless stated otherwise on the individual product page.
Verify the vehicle make, model, year, and body variant (2-door, 4-door, estate, etc.) before ordering. Body components are model-specific and often differ between production year facelifts.
- Document the current panel gap and flush alignment of adjacent panels before removal using photographs. Use these as a reference for setting up the new component.
- Remove all trim clips, electrical connectors, and weatherseals before unbolting the panel. Many clips are single-use and must be replaced during reassembly.
- Transfer all reusable hardware to the new component — brackets, nuts, clips, and weatherseals — before fitting.
- Offer the new component into position loosely before tightening any fasteners. Adjust all gaps and flush alignment before final tightening.
- Torque all fasteners to OEM specification progressively from the centre outwards to avoid panel distortion.
- Check all related functions after fitting — door closure, boot seal, window operation, and weatherseal compression.
