Description
Product Overview
This lock set is designed specifically for the Citroën Xsara Picasso and includes the ignition barrel, fuel tank cap, and door locks for both the driver and passenger sides, all operated by a single key. It is compatible with PSA part numbers 4162HK and 4162FF, making it easy to find and replace with original specification parts.
The door locks play a crucial role in vehicle security by preventing unauthorized access. Over time, door locks may become stiff or corroded, especially in older vehicles or those exposed to harsh environmental conditions, which can cause difficulties in locking or unlocking. This set offers a reliable solution for replacing malfunctioning or seized locks, helping to restore smooth operation and secure vehicle access.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing the lock set requires basic mechanical skills, ideal for professional auto mechanics or confident DIY car enthusiasts. The replacement process involves removing the interior door panels to access and remove the old locks, then fitting the new ones and ensuring the locking system works seamlessly with the supplied key. The ignition barrel and fuel cap should also be replaced carefully to maintain integrated vehicle security and proper function.
Regular lubrication of door locks and ensuring the key is used gently can prolong the lifespan of locking components. However, if you notice sticking, rust, or the key turning difficulty, replacing the entire lock set like this one is recommended to avoid potential lockout situations or security risks.
