Land Rover Part Number: FQJ500240 - Right-Hand Front Door Latch
FQJ500240 is a right-hand front door latch fitted to Defender front doors. This mechanical latch receives the door striker on the vehicle bodyshell and provides the primary mechanical connection between the door and the vehicle body, holding the door closed when engaged and allowing release when the interior or exterior handle is operated. It is designed for pushbutton-style front doors and interfaces with the internal handle linkage and lock cylinder; regular operation exposes pivots and catch surfaces to dirt and wear, and replacement restores correct catch and release action when worn or damaged.
