Used Ford Focus Door Hinge

The Ford Focus Mk3 ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift in 2014, so a 2012 and a 2015 are on the same generation but either side of that facelift boundary — the hinge itself is likely the same, but you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as subtle changes can occur across a facelift. Make sure you also match the side (NS for nearside/passenger, OS for offside/driver) and whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door, as these use different front door hinges. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking both donor and recipient vehicles.

The Ford Focus Mk2 ran from 2004 to 2011 and the Mk3 from 2011 to 2018 — these are different generations with different body structures, so hinges from a Mk2 are very unlikely to fit a Mk3. Always source a hinge from the correct generation for your car, and confirm with the breaker using your registration. Mixing generations on structural components like door hinges is not recommended.

No — trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Ford Focus; a Zetec and a Titanium on the same generation share the same door hinges. What does matter is the generation, the door count (3-door or 5-door, as front door hinges differ between these), and the side (NS nearside/passenger or OS offside/driver). You may find colour differences on surrounding panels from a donor car, but hinges themselves are unpainted structural parts so this makes no difference.

No — the nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) front door hinges are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. Always specify which side you need when requesting a quote from a breaker, and double-check against your registration to make sure you get the correct one.

Yes, it does matter — the front doors on a 3-door Focus are longer than those on a 5-door to allow access to the rear seats, so the hinges are different parts and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door, along with the generation and the side (NS or OS), to make sure you get the right hinge.

The Ford Focus Mk1 ran from 1998 to 2004, with a facelift around 2001, and while many body parts are similar across the Mk1 range, minor changes can occur at a facelift point that may affect hinge fitment. Confirm with the breaker using both the donor and your own registration to check compatibility, and always match the side (NS/OS) and body style (3-door or 5-door). Do not assume early and late Mk1 hinges are identical without the breaker verifying.
