Description
Left Rear Wing Door Lock For Citroën Berlingo And Peugeot Partner I And II
This left rear wing (side) door lock is a direct-fit replacement for Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner (first and second generation). Designed for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics, the unit restores secure locking, central locking integration and reliable door latching on vehicles that use OE code 8726E7. Frequently searched under part number 8726E7, this lock is suitable when the original latch shows mechanical wear, fails to lock/unlock properly or the actuator no longer functions.
Application And Function
The door lock assembly secures the rear wing/side door, engages with the striker on the body, and works together with the central locking actuator and key/cylinder to lock and unlock the door. It contains mechanical latch components and an electrical connector for central locking signals on equipped models. Proper function prevents rattles, ensures door safety while driving and allows remote/central locking operation.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën Berlingo I & II; Peugeot Partner I & II
- Product Codes: 8726E7
- Other Numbers: 87260000000
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare Tools: Trim tools, Torx/hex sockets, screwdrivers and a multimeter for testing.
- Power Safety: Disconnect the battery before working on electrical connectors to avoid short circuits and unintended triggering of central locking.
- Procedure Summary: Remove interior door trim and moisture barrier, disconnect electrical connector and linkages, remove retaining bolts, extract old lock and transfer any needed rods/covers, fit the new lock, reconnect linkages and electrical connector, then test locking/unlocking and central locking operation before reassembling the door.
- Adjustment: Ensure the latch aligns precisely with the striker; misalignment can cause premature wear or failure to close. Lubricate latch pivot points with a suitable long-lasting dry lubricant or silicone spray that does not attract dirt.
- Estimated Time: Typically 30–90 minutes depending on access and experience.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
- Mechanical Wear: Repeated use causes plastic and metal components inside the latch to wear or break, leading to sticking or complete failure.
- Corrosion And Moisture Ingress: Water entering the door cavity can corrode linkages and electrical contacts or freeze in cold climates, jamming the mechanism.
- Actuator Or Electrical Faults: The central locking actuator or wiring/connector corrosion can prevent electrical unlocking/locking commands from reaching the latch.
- Physical Damage: Impact from slamming doors or accidents can deform the latch or striker alignment.
Benefits For Workshops And DIY Mechanics
Replacing the door lock with the correct OE-coded unit (8726E7) restores full functionality of the side rear door, eliminates rattles and improves vehicle security. Clear, step-by-step serviceability makes this a straightforward repair for trained technicians and competent DIYers with basic tools.
Compatibility And Notes
This listing corresponds to the left rear wing/side door lock used on Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner models of the first and second generations. Search by product code 8726E7 for quick identification. When fitting, verify visual match with the removed part and confirm the electrical connector and rod linkages are identical.
