Land Rover Part Number: LR070438 - Front Door Latch
LR070438 is a front door latch that engages the door striker to hold the door closed and releases to allow the door to open as part of the front door locking system. The latch forms the primary mechanical interface between the door and the vehicle body, locating the door on the striker and providing the release action when a handle or locking mechanism is operated. Fitted to the front door lock assembly, it interacts with the lock linkage and handle mechanisms to allow manual opening and to accept signals from locking systems. Access to the latch is via the inner door panel and replacement typically requires removal of the door trim and associated linkage. The part is used across a range of Land Rover models where the front door lock controls share common components; confirm the exact variant before ordering to match the vehicle's door lock configuration.
