Genuine used Jaguar XJS right-hand door latch / locking mechanism, removed from a 1992 Jaguar XJS facelift model.
Part Number: Please compare the number stamped or labelled on your original latch before ordering
Part Type: Door latch / locking latch mechanism
Position: Right Hand / O/S / Driver Side on UK RHD vehicles
Application: Front door closing, latching and locking system
Compatibility
Suitable for selected:
* Jaguar XJS / XJ-S
* Facelift models
* Approx. 1991–1996
* Coupe and Convertible applications where the same right-hand latch assembly is fitted
* RHD and LHD vehicles may use the same physical right-hand door latch, but the door position should always be matched carefully
This part is most suitable as a direct replacement where the original latch shape, mounting points and linkage arrangement match.
Technical Information
The door latch is mounted inside the door and engages with the striker on the vehicle body when the door is closed.
Its main functions include:
* Holding the door securely closed
* Releasing the door when the interior or exterior handle is operated
* Working with the key / central locking mechanism
* Transferring movement from the lock rods and release cables
* Helping maintain correct door alignment against the body striker
On the Jaguar XJS, the latch mechanism works together with several related components including the:
* Exterior door handle
* Interior release handle
* Lock rods / linkages
* Central locking actuator
* Door lock barrel
* Body-mounted striker plate
Wear in any of these components can sometimes produce symptoms similar to a faulty latch.
Common Reasons for Replacement
* Door will not latch closed
* Door needs to be slammed to shut properly
* Door will not open from inside or outside
* Locking mechanism jams
* Central locking operates but the door remains locked
* Excessive play in the latch
* Broken or seized internal mechanism
* Worn latch catch
* Door opens intermittently or does not release correctly
* Corrosion or age-related stiffness in the mechanism
Useful Checks
Before replacing the latch, it is also worth checking:
* Door striker alignment
* Exterior handle linkage
* Interior handle linkage
* Central locking actuator
* Lock rods and retaining clips
* Door hinges and door sag
* Lock barrel operation
* Lubrication and movement of the latch mechanism
A misaligned door or worn hinge can place extra load on the latch and make the mechanism appear faulty even when the latch itself is still operational.
Important Compatibility Note
Please compare the following before ordering:
* Right-hand door position
* Overall latch body shape
* Mounting-hole positions
* Lock rod and linkage connection points
* Central locking actuator connection
* Release lever arrangement
* Your original part against the listing photos
Jaguar XJS latch assemblies can vary by model year, facelift specification, market and door configuration, so visual comparison is strongly recommended before purchase.

Used genuine Jaguar part. Normal signs of previous use, age-related wear, storage marks and light surface corrosion may be present. Please inspect the listing photos for the exact condition and mechanism supplied.
