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:
The second-generation Nissan Almera (N16) ran from 2000 onwards, while your 1999 car is a first-generation N15 (produced from 1995 to 2000), so these are different generations and the door lock mechanisms are unlikely to be interchangeable. Stick to sourcing from another N15 (1995–2000) to be safe, making sure you match the side (NS for passenger/left, OS for driver/right) and whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door, as front door locks differ between body styles. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Yes, it matters — front door lock mechanisms are specific to the door count because 3-door and 5-door variants use differently sized front doors with different internal geometry. Rear door locks on a 5-door are a separate part again, so be clear with the breaker exactly which door position you need. Always quote your registration and door count when requesting a quote.
Trim level does not affect door lock mechanism fitment on the Nissan Almera — the mechanism itself is determined by generation (N15 or N16), body style (3-door or 5-door for front doors), and side (NS or OS), not by whether the car is a GX, SLX, SR or any other trim. You may find trim-level cars have slightly different interior door furniture or grab handles, but the lock mechanism in the door frame is the same across trims within the same generation and body style. Focus your search on matching those core details rather than trim name.
The N16 Almera received a facelift in 2003, so depending on exactly when your car was built, it could be either side of that boundary. The door lock mechanism may or may not interchange across the facelift change — this is something you should confirm with the breaker by checking the part against your specific registration, as internal door hardware can be updated at a facelift even when the exterior looks similar. Give the breaker your full registration so they can identify which side of the production change your car falls on.
No — engine size has no bearing on door lock mechanism fitment whatsoever. What matters is the generation (N15 1995–2000 or N16 2000–2006), whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door (for front doors), and which side you need (NS nearside/passenger or OS offside/driver). Tell the breaker those details and your registration, and ignore engine size entirely when searching.
These are different generations — the N15 ran from 1995 to 2000 and the N16 from 2000 to 2006 — and their door structures are different, making cross-generation fitment very unlikely. Always source from within the correct generation, match the side (NS or OS) and body style (3-door or 5-door for front doors), and confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
