Fitment on a used door lock mechanism varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the W211 (2002–2009) and W212 (2009–2016) are separate generations with different door structures, so their lock mechanisms are not interchangeable. You must match the part to the correct generation when ordering from a breaker. Always confirm against your registration to be sure.
Yes, it matters significantly — door lock mechanisms are side-specific, so the nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) units are not the same part and will not swap over. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS or OS clearly alongside your generation. Fitting the wrong side will mean the mechanism does not operate correctly.
The W213 generation ran from 2016 onwards, with a facelift introduced around 2020, and whether lock mechanisms cross that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. The door skin and frame architecture is the same generation, but subtle changes to internals or fixings can affect compatibility. A breaker who regularly dismantles W213s will be best placed to advise.
Trim level does not affect door lock mechanism fitment on the E-Class — the mechanical lock unit is determined by the generation and door side, not whether the car is SE, Avantgarde, Sport, or AMG Line. You may find cosmetic differences in how the interior door furniture looks across trims, but the lock mechanism itself is the same. Confirm generation and NS/OS with your breaker and trim level need not factor into the search.
No — the W210 and W211 are distinct generations and their door lock mechanisms are not compatible, despite both being E-Class models. The W210 ran from 1995 to 2002 and the W211 from 2002 to 2009, and each has its own door architecture. Always source a part from the matching generation and confirm with the breaker using your registration.
Yes — on models where both saloon/estate (4-door) and other body configurations exist, the front door lock mechanisms can differ depending on door count, so it is worth mentioning your body style to the breaker. For the E-Class the most common body styles are saloon and estate, both of which are 4-door, but always confirm your specific body style when requesting a quote. The breaker will use your registration to verify the correct unit.
