Land Rover Part Number: LR078724 - Front Door Latch
LR078724 is a front door latch fitted within the door lock assembly and used as the front door locking mechanism on compatible Land Rover models. The latch accepts the door striker when the door closes and holds the door secure; it is designed for powered lock systems and interfaces with central locking and door control electronics to permit remote locking/unlocking and support double-lock functions where fitted. If the latch is replaced or serviced, ensure correct alignment with the striker and that electrical connectors and actuators are correctly seated before completing final closure checks.
