Used Truck Door, Grille & Cab Locks

Used truck door, grille & cab locks for European HGVs

Exterior locks on a heavy truck are critical for safety, security and day-to-day operation. Door locks keep the cab secure, front grille locks prevent unauthorised access to the radiator and engine bay, and cab tilt locks hold the cab safely in place when tilting for service work. These components are designed specifically for each truck brand and cab generation and are built to withstand constant use in tough conditions.

In this category we offer used OEM door locks, front grille locks, cab tilt locks and other exterior lock mechanisms removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include DAF XF106 front grille lock sets with cables, Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 cab door lock latches and MAN TGA/TGS/TGX cabin tilt locks for Euro 5 and Euro 6 trucks.

What you will find in the Locks category

Stock in the Locks category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• cab door lock latches for driver and passenger doors, sometimes complete with catches and linkages;
• front grille locks and lock sets with cables or rods that secure the front grille panel to the cab structure;
• cabin tilt locks and latches used to secure the cab in the driving position or safely when tilted;
• toolbox, compartment and access panel locks for exterior storage boxes and service flaps where available;
• lock kits including matched locks and keys for multiple positions on the same truck.

Each listing includes clear photos, OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can match the lock type, mounting points, key style and electrical connections to the parts fitted on your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most locks in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF series – front grille lock sets and cab door locks for Euro 5 and Euro 6 models;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros tractors and rigids – door lock latches and exterior lock mechanisms for MP3 and MP4 cabs;
• MAN TGS and TGX – cabin tilt locks and cab door locks for long-haul and construction trucks;
• Volvo FH and FM – door locks, lock kits and grille locks for FH4 and similar platforms;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault when suitable donor trucks are available.

Because these are genuine OEM locks removed from complete vehicles, they usually correspond to a specific model generation, cab type and door or grille design, which is important for fit, key compatibility and integration with central locking or alarm systems.

Why exterior lock mechanisms matter

Lock components may be small, but they are vital for:

• Security – keeping the cab and exterior compartments locked to protect the vehicle and driver belongings;
• Safety – cab tilt locks and grille locks help prevent accidental opening while driving or tilting the cab for service;
• Driver comfort – correctly functioning door locks, latches and key cylinders save time and frustration during daily use;
• Regulatory compliance – commercial vehicles are expected to have working locks on doors and critical access points.

Typical reasons to replace a truck lock

Customers usually visit this category when:

• door locks or latches fail and the door will not open or close correctly from inside or outside;
• keys no longer operate the lock due to worn tumblers, broken keys or mismatched barrels after previous repairs;
• front grille locks or cables break, allowing the grille to come loose or making it impossible to open;
• cab tilt locks seize or fail, making it unsafe or impossible to tilt the cab;
• toolbox or compartment locks are damaged and no longer secure the load or equipment.

How to choose the correct lock

To minimise fitting problems and ensure the correct function, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF106, Mercedes Actros MP4, MAN TGX Euro 6, Volvo FH4;
• lock position and function – cab door, front grille, cab tilt, toolbox or other exterior location;
• side and cab type – left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) door, day or sleeper cab, standard or high-roof;
• electrical features – presence of microswitches or sensors for central locking, alarms or cab tilt safety circuits;
• key and barrel type – whether the lock is supplied with a barrel and key, or re-uses your existing key set;
• OEM part numbers stamped on the lock body or shown in the parts catalogue, matched against the references in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing lock and mounting area. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM locks from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts taken from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that cab and exterior components, including locks, can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove lock mechanisms, check operation, mounting points and key function where possible, and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable locks are cleaned externally, labelled and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
