Used door lock mechanisms vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
These are from different generations — the first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, while the second-generation i20 launched in 2015, so a 2012 and a 2016 part come from entirely different body shells and are very unlikely to interchange. You should stick to the same generation as your car. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Yes, this matters for the front doors — the 3-door and 5-door i20 have different front door sizes and frames, so the lock mechanisms are not the same part. Rear door lock mechanisms on the 5-door are specific to that body style as well. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door and confirm it matches before purchasing.
NS stands for nearside, which is the passenger (left) side, and OS stands for offside, which is the driver (right) side in the UK — these are mirror-image parts and are not interchangeable with each other. Make sure you identify which door needs the lock mechanism before contacting a breaker. Getting the side wrong means the part simply will not fit.
Trim level does not affect door lock mechanism fitment on the i20 — the lock mechanism is determined by generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and which side (NS or OS), not by whether the car is a Classic, SE, or Premium. You may find minor cosmetic differences in surrounding trim pieces, but the lock mechanism itself should be interchangeable across trims within the same generation and door configuration. Confirm the generation and door count with the breaker and you should be fine.
The first-generation i20 received a facelift around 2012, but both pre-facelift and post-facelift cars share the same underlying body generation. Whether the door lock mechanism interchanges across that facelift boundary is not guaranteed — confirm with the breaker by checking the exact part against your registration number, as subtle changes may have been introduced. Staying within the same side and door count is essential regardless.
No — the engine, whether petrol or diesel, has no bearing on door lock mechanism fitment whatsoever. What matters is the generation of the car, the body style (3-door or 5-door), and the side (NS or OS). Simply provide the breaker with your registration and clarify which door you need.
