Front Door Latch Assembly for the right-hand front door.

This mechanical latch is mounted inside the front door and engages the door striker on the body aperture to secure the door when closed. It interfaces with the interior handle linkage, exterior handle, and lock cylinder, allowing controlled release from inside or outside the vehicle.

Worn catch surfaces and seized pivots, caused by dirt and corrosion ingress, are the most common failure modes this replacement corrects.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FQJ500240LR front door latch do?
The FQJ500240LR is a right-hand front door latch for the Land Rover Defender. It engages the door striker to hold the door shut and interfaces with the interior handle linkage, exterior handle and lock cylinder for controlled release.
Why does the Defender door latch fail?
Defender door latches typically fail from worn catch surfaces and seized pivots caused by dirt and corrosion ingress, so the door won't latch or release cleanly. This replacement latch corrects those common wear points.
How do I confirm this latch fits my Defender?
This RH front door latch fits the Land Rover Defender from VIN YA194718, and Puma 2007-2016 models from VIN 7A000001. Check your VIN, as earlier Defenders use a different latch.
Is this latch listed under any other part numbers?
Yes, this RH Defender door latch is also cross-referenced as FQJ103160. Match your existing latch side and the cross-reference to confirm you're ordering the correct right-hand unit.
