Purpose and function of the component

The presented lock cylinder guide is dedicated to the driver's door on the right side of the body in the Ford Transit Mk8 VI model. It is responsible for the correct seating and guidance of the lock cylinder in the door panel, ensuring proper interaction with the key and the locking mechanism. Thanks to the factory geometry, compatibility with the vehicle's original locking system is maintained.

The element belongs to the system responsible for:

• stable mounting of the lock cylinder in the door,
• correct transmission of the key movement to the locking mechanism,
• maintaining the axial alignment of the cylinder relative to the key and lock rods.

Technical and assembly characteristics

As a part from the Locks and latches group, the cylinder guide is designed for a specific body and door configuration of the Ford Transit Mk8 VI. The placement on the right side of the vehicle means it is matched to a specific mounting layout, panel shape, and the arrangement of rods and levers inside the door. In practice, this translates into:

• easier fitment to factory mounting holes,
• maintaining the original position of the cylinder relative to the handle and seals,
• the possibility of using the element as a donor for repairs of other locks in the same model.

Due to the offered condition, the part is best suited as a base for refurbishment, a source of small components, or a test element when fitting locks and latches in a workshop.

Practical application and benefits of purchase

Purchasing this driver's door lock cylinder guide can be particularly useful for workshops specializing in Ford Transit service, as well as for individuals servicing the vehicle themselves. The element allows you to:

• restore the geometry of the lock cylinder mounting after bodywork repairs,
• obtain original structural details for other locks in the same model,
• perform assembly tests without the risk of damaging fully functional parts.

Thanks to its original Ford origin, dimensional compatibility with the factory lock is maintained, which facilitates service work and limits the need for modifications.

Condition information and service recommendations

The part is classified as for parts or not working, which means it is not intended for direct installation as a fully functional service component. Before use in a vehicle, a detailed verification of the mechanical condition, potential refurbishment, or the use of only selected sub-components as a donor is recommended. This nature of the product makes it valuable primarily for professional service centers, refurbishment shops, and individuals looking for specific fragments of the original lock construction.
