No two door lock mechanisms are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No – the first-generation i30 (2007–2012) and the second-generation i30 (2012–2017) are completely different body shells, so the door lock mechanisms are not interchangeable between them. Always source a mechanism from the correct generation to ensure it fits your car. Confirm the exact year and generation with the breaker when requesting a quote.
Yes, it matters – the front door on a 3-door i30 is a longer, wider door than the front door on the 5-door, so the lock mechanisms are specific to the body style and will not swap over. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door when getting a quote.
Yes, absolutely – door lock mechanisms are side-specific, so a nearside (NS, passenger/left) unit will not fit the offside (OS, driver/right) door and vice versa. UK convention is NS for the passenger side and OS for the driver side, so make sure you use these terms clearly when contacting a breaker.
For fitment purposes, trim level does not affect which door lock mechanism you need – the mechanism fits the door shell, not the specification level. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as the condition or finish of interior grab handles on parts removed from higher-spec cars, but these do not affect whether the mechanism itself will fit. Stick to matching the generation, body style, and side (NS or OS).
The second-generation i30 received a facelift around 2015, and while both cars share the same broad generation, there is a possibility of subtle differences in door hardware around the facelift point. The generation boundary is the same shell, so fitment is more likely than not, but we would recommend confirming compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing.
No – engine and gearbox choice have no bearing on door lock mechanism fitment whatsoever, as the mechanism is part of the door shell regardless of what is under the bonnet. What matters is the generation of the car, whether it is a 3-door or 5-door, and which side (NS or OS) you need.
