327837016B Parts - Door Lock

The part number 327837016B seems to be related to a door lock assembly, likely for a specific vehicle, though the number itself doesn't directly correlate to widely recognized models or manufacturers in public databases. However, based on typical automotive door lock assemblies, here's a more detailed breakdown of what such a part could typically involve:

General Features of a Door Lock Assembly:

1. Lock Mechanism: This is the central component that physically locks or unlocks the door. It can include a manual locking mechanism (via a key or knob) or an electronic mechanism (using remote key fobs or sensors).

2. Actuator: In modern vehicles, door locks are often powered by an actuator, which is a small electric motor that moves the locking mechanism when the user presses a button on their key fob or manually locks the door from inside the vehicle.

3. Key Cylinder: If the vehicle uses a traditional key, the lock will feature a key cylinder, where the physical key is inserted to turn the mechanism and unlock the door.

4. Striker Plate: The striker plate is attached to the door frame and works with the latch to keep the door securely closed. It provides a surface against which the latch will secure when the door is locked.

5. Door Lock Switch: This can be part of the lock assembly in some vehicles, allowing manual locking/unlocking from inside the vehicle or door panel. It's often integrated with other systems like power windows and side mirror controls.

6. Wiring and Electronic Components: For modern vehicles, the door lock assembly might include wiring for electronic locking, sensors for child safety locks, or integration with the vehicle's security system.

7. Integrated Components: Some advanced systems combine the door lock with a passive entry system, meaning the lock responds automatically when a key fob or transponder is nearby.

Possible Applications:

If this part number corresponds to a genuine automotive lock system, it could be used for various types of doors (driver, passenger, rear, etc.), and may vary depending on whether the vehicle uses a traditional mechanical key system or an electronic keyless entry system.
