Chereau Model 22 rear door lock parts
The Chereau Model 22 rear door system uses a specific lock bar and handle arrangement that is not interchangeable with other trailer door systems. When a lock bar, handle, cam, or locking rod fails on a Model 22 door, the replacement needs to be the correct OEM specification - aftermarket alternatives typically do not fit the mounting geometry of the Chereau door frame.
As the sole UK parts distributor for Chereau, Truckstop Group stocks genuine lock components for the Model 22 system: lock bars, handles, door cams, lock rods, and associated fixings. These are the same parts used in Chereau's own service network, supplied directly to UK operators without the delay of going through a European dealer.
If you are unsure which specific component has failed on your Model 22 door, or need to cross-reference a part number from the door itself, call us on 01527 598 000 with the trailer VIN and we can identify the correct part before you order.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Chereau Model 22 rear door system?
The Model 22 is Chereau's designation for a specific rear door locking system used across their refrigerated and insulated trailer range. It uses a multi-point lock bar arrangement operated by a central handle. The component geometry is specific to Chereau's door frames - non-OEM parts do not reliably fit.
How do I know if my Chereau trailer has a Model 22 rear door?
The model designation is typically stamped on the door frame or listed in the trailer's documentation pack. If you are not certain, call us with the trailer VIN and we can confirm the door system type from Chereau's build records.
Can I fit non-OEM lock bars on a Chereau Model 22 door?
We do not recommend it. The Model 22 door system has specific mounting geometry for the lock bar and cam arrangement. Non-OEM parts are rarely dimensionally accurate and can result in the door not sealing correctly or the locking mechanism failing under load. For temperature-controlled trailer operation, a correct seal is essential for both regulatory compliance and load integrity.
