What to do if the door does not open from the outside and inside on a VAZ 2110

How to open a VAZ 2110 without a key

If an unpleasant situation happens to the driver when the keys are left inside the car or when the keys are left in the ignition and the door suddenly closes, then the driver has to think about how to get inside the car. There are also situations when the battery is dead or the lock is jammed or the locking mechanisms are filled with ice at low temperatures and bad weather.

It’s too early to get upset in such cases, because there are several real ways to open the door without keys. First of all, you should think about where the spare set of keys is located; if the keys are far away, then this option will not work.

There are several simple ways to open the door of a domestic VAZ 2110 car without a key, here are some of them.

1. 
   You need to contact a service station, where specialists will quickly and easily open the door for money. The advantage of this method is quick departure when called and keeping the car safe. In large cities there are special services that provide such services; their assortment includes special master keys and other professional tools.

2. Try breaking the glass or drilling into the lock with a drill. This method is only applicable when there is access to electricity and the tool itself. This is the worst option, because installing new glass is expensive and, as a result, it is the most expensive method.

3. 
   Unlock the lock key. For this method, you need to find a small wire, a piece up to 60 cm long, which will be soft and elastic, and an ordinary ruler or screwdriver will do. Make a hook at the end of the wire, then use a screwdriver to pick up and pull out the seal that is located near the lock, then try to place a homemade structure between the glass on the door and the seal and find the seal that is located near the lock and bend the hook. In some cases, the wire is difficult to guide and the seal needs to be bent. This method does not have a complex mechanism and will take, on average, about 20 minutes for an inexperienced person.

4. 
   If the doors are jammed, you must first check whether the trunk of the VAZ 2010 is closed and how to open it without a key. If it is open, then you won’t have to repair or break the car. If the trunk is closed, then you need to open it by inserting a flat-head screwdriver into the locking mechanism and turn it with force.

5. Try to open the door with master keys, if you have master keys and special skills to use them, you just need to install them in the keyhole and carefully open them.

6. 
   If the lock freezes at low temperatures, another method will come in handy. It is necessary to warm up the locking mechanism with a hot key. The key can be heated with a lighter or matches; it is not always possible to open it the first time and the procedure must be repeated until it succeeds. An easier way is to purchase a special liquid in advance from the store, which is needed to warm up the keyhole.

7. Using a ruler, you can also open a door in a car by simply inserting the ruler under the glass. The ruler must be thin and iron in order to apply sufficient pressure to the locking mechanism of the lock.
8. If other options do not work, it is possible to open the door using a regular screwdriver and hammer; you need to insert the screwdriver into the lock with a hammer and turn it.

9. 
   You can try to open the door using a rope or shoelace; this method is effective if the lock button is located on the car door, close to the glass. At the end of the rope you need to tie a loop and insert the rope through the end of the door into the car interior and lower the rope to the level of the lock button, put the loop on the button, tighten it and pull it up.

10. Try lowering the window. Grasp the glass tightly with your palms and press downwards.

In order to protect yourself from such unpleasant situations and not use these methods, you must follow the following recommendations:

How to open a car door if the lock is jammed?

What should you do if the car doors are locked and the key is either in the car itself or in the trunk, and the spare key is far away? How to open a car door if the lock is jammed? Quite a lot of people find themselves in a similar situation, and most often at the most inopportune moment. Although might the moment be right in such a situation? It is because of this that, even if you have a spare set, it will never be superfluous to know how to open the car if you don’t have the key in your hands.

It is clear that this applies only to those who find themselves in an unexpected situation, and not to car lock burglars. They are already capable of breaking the lock, from which you can only protect yourself with an alarm. Since the car is your property, you, of course, are not afraid of the alarm - you have one main task, namely to open the door without much loss of money and time. There is no need to panic, the car door is very easy to open even without a key.

Causes of problems opening the door

The first step is to understand the causes of the breakdown. Usually the prerequisites appear long before the “hour X”. The driver just doesn't notice them. At first, the malfunction is manifested by a single idling of the handle.

Why is it difficult to open the door handle on a VAZ 2110 from the inside:

• the plastic rod end is worn out;
• the lock got wet after washing;
• a foreign object got inside;
• the door is frozen;
• The battery died when the child lock was on.

The first reason is most common. The VAZ rod end is made of plastic. Over time, the material dries out and becomes brittle. The tip breaks during daily use. The driver's door lock may become jammed.

To prevent problems in winter, after washing your car, do not immediately drive outside from the garage. Wait until the doors dry. Additionally, wipe the locks with a dry cloth and treat them with an antifreeze agent. If it is not possible to stay longer in the box, drive the car into a warm garage or indoor parking. The latter are available in all major shopping centers.

Causes of malfunctions

There are several types of malfunctions that prevent the doors of a VAZ-2109 from opening from the outside or from both sides:

• The outer key, made of silumin, broke off. This happens when you try to open the door in severe frost, applying a lot of force. Breakage is not considered a big problem, because the sash can be opened with a handle from the inside.
• The silumin pusher, which is activated by the opening key, has broken. The reasons are the same: low temperature outside and strong pressure. In this situation, the door can also be unlocked from inside the car.
• The rod that connects the handles with the locking mechanism has disappeared. The door does not unlock from either side.
• Wear of parts of the locking device.
• The screws securing the lock have come loose and it is hanging freely inside the door card. It is impossible to open the door using the handles.

The latter malfunction sometimes occurs due to the fault of the car owner himself, who has decided to change or repair the door lock. Having put it in place and not fully tightened the screws, the owner of the VAZ-2109 accidentally slams the door, after which it will not be possible to open it with the handle.

What will be needed for repairs

If the outside lock stops opening, go straight to the store. You will need to purchase:

• several new plastic tips suitable for VAZ;
• set of screwdrivers - one flat, Phillips;
• a set of plastic rivets that secure the casing.

All parts are sold at an automotive supply store. It is better to buy spare parts with a reserve, several sets. The parts are inexpensive. They can also come in handy if the door stops opening not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Take the sheathing fasteners just in case, since the sheet may have to be removed.

Castle repair

What should you do if the door does not open from the inside of your VAZ 2110:

1. We open the car door from the outside with the key.
2. We remove the lining. Unscrew the fastening screws around the entire perimeter.
3. Take a flat screwdriver. We pry off the handle attachment.
4. There are a couple of screws under the handle. We unscrew them.
5. We remove the speaker of the acoustic system. Simply remove it without disconnecting the wires.
6. Carefully remove the trim, pulling the panel towards you along the perimeter.
7. Under the trim panel there is the base of the handle, it is attached to the screws, unscrew them. Now the plastic tip of the VAZ becomes visible.
8. Remove the old tip from the thread.
9. We screw in a new part instead.
10. We try to open and close the door several times. The lock should open the first time.
11. Insert the tip into the pen.

Now all that remains is to carefully assemble the door in the reverse order. When installing the handle, the plastic part should not break.

You can open the door on a VAZ in another way, without removing the trim:

1. Lower the glass all the way down.
2. Take a flashlight.
3. By pressing on the glass and shell, increase the door gap.
4. Shine a flashlight towards the castle. To see how the pull moves, pull the handle 2-3 times.
5. Make a loop out of wire. Length – 20 centimeters. Loop the lever.
6. Pull the lever up with one hand and open the inner handle with the other.
7. If the door does not open, remove the handle. Carefully unscrew the retaining sleeve to the side.

Now you can remove the lock and repair it. This method works if the tip is intact.

Hello everyone Guys, help, in general, the rear right door does not open, not from the outside or from the inside. What should I do? HZ removed the card, like the traction in place, you drive, you pull, and nothing seems to be stuck. how and what to do? maybe someone knows? It was frosty, the door froze, well, somehow I opened it, and then it closed completely and that was it.

SO PROBLEM SOLVED

I’ll try to do everything with pictures and explanations, since I’m not the only one. I hope the entry won’t be deleted, as it might be useful to someone...
So,
I removed the door card, naturally it’s cramped and uncomfortable. — I had to unscrew the rear window guide (it looks like velvet glass seals) and the view became better. - in order to understand what was not working correctly, I opened and removed the same thing from the second door, closed it and began to study - what is the result... the lock’s thrust can be said to be common, or rather there are two thrusts (external and internal handle), then at the lock one is combined (it turns out like a “knee”) when you open it from the street, one part of the “knee” moves, and when from the passenger compartment, the “knee” is assembled. — I switch to the “jammed door” and observe that when opening the traction from the street, the “knee part” moves like everything else (but this is just a part) I open it from the passenger compartment, the second part does not move and therefore the “knee” assembly also does not produce any action . - Yeah, I see. I look at the working side. when the door is closed it is at the top, but on my door it is at the bottom when closed, and thereby jammed and blocked this draft. — I somehow crawled up, and trying to lift this knee up, it worked, but not the first time. -I open it from the passenger compartment...and yes...the door loosens up and says get out of here - I close the tongue on the open door, check the “knee”, everything is as it should be, I open it and everything works. - I'm happy

Unlocking the lock

If the lock is blocked due to water ingress in winter, there are several ways to solve the problem:

1. Use a lock defroster. The substance is otherwise called “liquid key”. The product is available in the form of a spray.
2. Take matches and a lighter. Heat the key a little in the fire and insert it into the lock. Shake slightly to the sides. The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to break the VAZ lock.
3. Spray the keyhole with alcohol or an alcohol-containing substance. For example, cologne or eau de toilette. Pure alcohol actively generates heat and dissolves ice.
4. Make a heating pad from a bottle of warm water or a bag of hot sand. Place the makeshift heater against the lock. Keep the heating pad on for a couple of minutes.
5. Pour some windshield washer fluid inside the lock. Remember, the washer contains isopropyl alcohol, which has an aggressive effect on metal.
6. Take a cocktail straw and insert it into the lock hole. Breathe inside. Warm air can melt ice.
7. Try applying silicone grease around the perimeter of the rubber seal. In some cases, the car door freezes in this very place.
8. Direct the hose containing the exhaust gas from the pipe of another vehicle into the lock.

If none of the methods help, all that remains is to drive the VAZ inside a warm garage. There the car will warm up, you can try to open the driver's door.

Never pour boiling water into the lock. This may damage the electrical wiring.

Door assembly

The door assembly must be done carefully. The plastic rivets that hold the VAZ skin in place are very fragile. They often break during door disassembly. Therefore, it is better to replace them with new ones. Otherwise, the casing will fly off while driving or begin to rattle when listening to music loudly.

To replace the rivets you will need a flathead screwdriver. Pull the dowel out of the door hole. Then insert a new rivet into the panel. There is no need to store the old kit. These parts are disposable.

After collecting the cladding, carefully press it against the door. Don't press too hard. Align all the dowels and rivets. Secure the cladding with light pressure. Tighten the screws and put the speakers in place.

Now you know what to do if the front door of a VAZ 2110 does not open from the inside or outside. The cost of repair will be no more than 300 rubles, excluding new screwdrivers. The work will take 30 minutes. Anyone can remove the door and install the tip, even without specialized skills. At a service station they will charge 500 rubles for such a service.

Step-by-step troubleshooting

Work begins with replacing the key. If it is made of silumin, then in the winter this element freezes quite often. If you apply too much pressure, a silumin key may simply break. Of course, such a part needs to be replaced, but for this you don’t have to buy an assembled door handle for the VAZ-2114, but buy a repair kit. It includes:

• two keys;
• two leashes for handles;
• fastening elements.

Before replacing, you need to pay attention to the appearance of the element - on its reverse side there are two protrusions, one of which, when activated, will press the key, and the second is shortened during assembly so that the ends of the leash do not protrude outward.

What will you need?

Before starting repairs, you need to purchase several plastic rod ends at an auto parts store for spare parts. This spare part is available in almost all specialized stores. It happens that the door on a VAZ-2110 does not open from the inside, not only on the driver’s side, but also on the passenger side. Therefore, spare rods will not be superfluous. Plus they are sold in pairs. You also need to purchase special plastic rivets for attaching the casing. They are inexpensive and will always come in handy.

How to open and repair a jammed door of a VAZ 2109?

The question of how to open a jammed door of a VAZ-2109 arises among motorists quite rarely. Many of them do not encounter such a problem during the entire life of the car. The reason is that the locking mechanisms on the doors of the VAZ of the “ninth” family are quite reliable and rarely fail. But sometimes they also malfunction, causing the door to jam and making it difficult to open. There are several ways to do this without resorting to extreme measures in the form of an angle grinder, so that you can then fix the problem without consequences.

Disassembling the door

So, everything is ready to start troubleshooting:

1. Open the door from the outside and unscrew the screws securing the cladding around the perimeter.
2. Using a flat screwdriver, pry up the trim on the door handle. Under it there are 2 fastening screws, which we also unscrew. If there is a speaker in the door, unscrew it and take it out.
3. When everything is unscrewed, carefully remove the trim, pulling it towards you around the perimeter. Under the trim we will see the base of the door handle, which is also secured with screws. We unscrew them.

Now you can, so to speak, see with your own eyes why the door on the VAZ-2110 did not open from the inside. We replace the old worn plastic tip with a new one. At the end of the rod there is a thread onto which it is screwed. So we just twist it and screw on a new one. We check how everything works by opening and closing the door several times. Then all that remains is to simply put it in the handle and assemble the entire structure.

Re: Solved: The back door is open, but does not open

if you removed the trim there is a pull that goes to the lock and pull it if the lock itself is frozen then try a hairdryer from the inside

Re: Solved: The back door is open, but does not open

There, on the outer lock, the lever, which is spring-loaded and on which the inner lock presses, sucks down. Is it possible to somehow get it from the inside or not?

Re: Solved: The back door is open, but does not open

If the trim is removed: 1. unscrew the inner handle and then pull with all our might its rod towards the front door *if this does not help (and it should) 2. release from all fasteners and pull the rod of the door closing button, and then (or simultaneously ) rod from the first point *if these manipulations did not help 3. Take a screwdriver and hook in the lock those places where these rods come to the lock

Reassembly

Assembly is done in reverse order, but with one caveat. The perimeter trim is secured with plastic rivets, which are very fragile and often break when removed. Before installation, you must replace all of them with new ones. Otherwise, due to a loose fit, the casing will rattle when driving.

To replace, you only need a flathead screwdriver. It is necessary to remove the dowel from the door hole and insert a rivet into the trim. It is not recommended to leave old kits, they are disposable. When the door trim is ready for installation, first carefully press it against the door, trying to align all the rivets with the dowels. Next, apply light pressure along the perimeter to press it tightly. That's it, you can tighten the screws and put the speaker in place.

Now you know what to do if the door on a VAZ-2110 does not open from the inside. The repair budget will be about 200-300 rubles, the time cost will be no more than half an hour. Minimum effort will be required to fix this problem. The work is completely simple. This procedure is suitable if any front door on a VAZ-2110 cannot be opened from the inside. The actions in all cases are similar and do not require additional description.

Doors do not open and close well

To open the door without effort, adjusting the mechanisms and preventing jamming is recommended. Basic actions:

1. Adjusting hinges: loosening screws, adjusting door position, tightening fasteners.
2. Correcting the operation of the auto lock: the bolts at the end of the cylinder are loosened, the position of the body is corrected.
3. Replacement of internal or external handle.
4. Lubrication works. Additionally, treatment with an anti-corrosion agent is indicated.
5. Regular cleaning of the structure.

Prevention is carried out at least twice a year; only constant care of the vehicle can prevent breakdowns.
