Volkswagen Polo 6R Rear Door Lock Actuator Mechanism Latch Right O/S 5K4839016F

Volkswagen Polo 6R Rear Door Lock Actuator Mechanism Latch Right O/S is an original component from the Locks and latches group, designed for installation in the rear right door of the vehicle. The design, tailored to the specifics of the Polo 6R model, ensures proper cooperation with the door handle mechanism, rods, and electrical installation, which translates into stable and predictable operation of the locking system. This is a practical solution for users who expect efficient central locking operation and correct door latching on the rear passenger side.

Purpose and body fitment

The presented lock has been designed for installation in the rear right area of the body, which means its geometry, mounting points, and the way it interacts with the door panel are adapted to the factory solutions used in the Polo 6R. As a result, the component maintains the correct position relative to the striker on the pillar, allowing for secure closing and unlocking of the door leaf. The placement on the vehicle on the rear passenger side is important for both safety and daily comfort – a properly functioning lock reduces the risk of accidental door opening while driving and ensures the correct operation of the central locking system in this area.

Technical and functional characteristics

As a component from the Locks and latches group, the rear door lock is responsible for several key functions:

• mechanical latching of the door leaf in the closed position,
• cooperation with the external and internal door handle rods,
• transferring movement from the central locking mechanism to the latching tongue,
• maintaining a stable door position relative to the body after closing. The appropriate design of the housing and internal guides allows for smooth operation of the mechanism, which is important for frequent opening and closing of the door by passengers. Using an original solution dedicated to a specific model reduces the risk of play, jamming, or improper closing.

Benefits of using an original lock

Choosing a rear right door lock dedicated to the Polo 6R primarily means a secure fit to the vehicle's factory design. This means compatibility with:

• the spacing of mounting holes in the door,
• the geometry interacting with the factory striker on the pillar,
• the system of rods and handles intended for this model. Such a solution facilitates installation and limits the need for modifications, which is particularly important for components responsible for passive safety. Additionally, using a component from the same design line as other elements of the locking system promotes consistent operation of the entire system.

Component condition and service application

The offered lock comes from the group of used parts, which makes it a reasonable choice for service repairs when the priority is combining functionality with optimal cost. This type of component will work well both when replacing a damaged lock after a collision or mechanical interference, and when troubleshooting latching or door opening issues on the rear passenger side. In practice, installing such a component allows for restoring the correct operation of the locking system in the rear right part of the body, which is important both for daily use and for meeting technical inspection requirements related to vehicle safety. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the door locking area in your Volkswagen and need other elements from the same group, such as latching mechanisms, cylinders, or central locking actuators, check the available parts in the Volkswagen Locks and latches category.
