Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented lock is designed for installation in the front right door of the Porsche Cayenne 92A generation. The component is responsible for:

• mechanical locking of the passenger-side door,
• integration with the central locking system and remote control operation,
• correct response to signals from the door handle and lock cylinder,
• maintaining a stable door position while driving.

Thanks to its precise design, the lock integrates with the factory wiring and control modules, allowing for full functionality of the vehicle's locking system.

Construction and technical characteristics

The lock actuator utilizes a set of mechanical gears and an electric motor that executes central locking commands. The construction is prepared for operation in the front right door, taking into account the body geometry of the Cayenne 92A and the routing of the door handle linkages.

The component belongs to the Locks and Latches group, meaning it is part of the system responsible for cabin access security. The applied design solutions allow for numerous opening and closing cycles without loss of functionality, while maintaining appropriate rigidity and resistance to operational loads.

Compatibility and fitment

As a part designed for a specific Porsche model, the lock is engineered to ensure:

• factory-standard fitment with the door panel and internal mounts,
• proper positioning relative to the striker on the body pillar,
• correct operation with factory linkages and handles.

As a result, installation is similar to the factory process, without the need for structural modifications. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs and when replacing worn-out locking system components.

Condition and service application

The offered lock is a used component, making it an attractive solution for service repairs where the priority is to maintain original parts while optimizing costs. It is suitable both for replacing a damaged actuator and in situations where issues arise with locking, incomplete closing, or intermittent door opening.
