Description
Electric lock for the right front door for PEUGEOT 407. Passenger door.
This OEM-style electric door lock/actuator is intended for the right front (passenger) door of the Peugeot 407 and is commonly referenced by part numbers 9686683580, 9136FE and 9136CK. Designed for workshops and DIY mechanics, the unit restores reliable central locking and mechanical latch operation when the original actuator or lock assembly becomes faulty. The compact motor-driven mechanism controls the latch and the locking pin, integrating with the vehicle’s central locking system to allow remote locking, unlocking and mechanical key operation.
Features And Function
The door lock assembly combines a latch mechanism and an electric actuator. Key functions include:
- Electric Actuation: Drives the locking/unlocking pin via a small DC motor and reduction gears.
- Mechanical Latch: Secures the door to the striker and releases when pulled from the inside or outside handle.
- Central Locking Integration: Works with the vehicle’s central locking control unit for remote operation.
- Direct Replacement: Supplied to match OE mounting points and electrical connectors for straightforward fitment.

Installation Recommendations
Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or experienced DIYer. Typical steps:
- Remove Interior Door Trim: Carefully unclip trim panels and remove screws to access the lock assembly.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector: Unplug the actuator connector and, if necessary, disconnect the battery before working on electrical parts.
- Detach Linkages: Unhook the rods/connectors from interior and exterior handles; note their orientation for reassembly.
- Remove Fasteners: Unscrew the lock assembly from the door shell and withdraw the unit through the access hole.
- Fit New Unit: Install the new lock, reconnect rods and connectors, then test locking/unlocking function before refitting the door card.
Use common hand tools (Torx/screwdrivers, trim tools, pliers) and check electrical continuity with a multimeter if central locking does not respond. Lightly lubricate latch points with suitable white lithium or silicone grease and replace any broken clips or worn rods to ensure long service life.
Common Failure Causes
- Actuator Wear Or Motor Failure: The small DC motor and gear train can wear out after many cycles, causing intermittent or complete loss of locking function.
- Corrosion And Water Ingress: Moisture entering the door cavity can corrode electrical contacts and gears, especially in older vehicles or where door seals are damaged.
- Damaged Linkages Or Clips: Plastic rod clips and linkages can break, preventing the latch from moving even if the actuator runs.
- Mechanical Impact Or Misalignment: Door slams or body damage may bend the latch or striker, leading to poor engagement or extra load on the actuator.
Replacement of the door lock assembly restores reliable locking, stops unwanted rattles and ensures correct operation of central locking. Searchable product codes such as 9686683580, 9136FE and 9136CK make this part easy to locate when ordering spares for Peugeot 407 vehicles.
