Features of replacing the door lock cylinder on a VAZ 2114 car

Reasons for replacing the VAZ 2114 lock cylinder

The mechanism is silent, but if an extraneous sound appears when opening the door element, the device will have to be dismantled or rebuilt. Replacing the front door lock cylinder on a VAZ 2114 is required for a number of reasons:

• a sharp drop in temperature;
• failure of the locking ring;
• loss of the fixing column;
• destruction of the plastic rod cap;
• wear of internal pins and teeth.

In winter, the locking devices freeze, causing the key to turn with difficulty or not move. If a person makes an effort, then there is a risk of breaking the opening element in the core of the lock.

When individual parts wear out, they will cling to each other, blocking the rotation function. The main factor indicating a repair is turning the key.

Why do door locking mechanisms fail on a VAZ-2114?

There are several situations when it is necessary to replace the locking mechanism cylinder of a VAZ-2114:

1. Destruction of the locking ring and loss of the fixing post from the plastic cap of the rod. This breakdown often occurs in winter. You may notice that the lock simply begins to turn, but the door does not open. If you apply force, the lock cylinder and the key will come out of the handle socket.
2. Modernization, in which door handles are replaced with new ones or European-style models are installed.
3. Wear of mechanism parts. Due to intensive use, the mechanism partially loses its functionality: its pins and internal teeth wear out. With this breakdown, the lock cylinder stops turning because its metal parts cling to each other.

Recommendations

Reassembling and lubricating individual parts will not work if the fragments are heavily worn. It is better to remove the cylinder from the core and install a new one. Recommendations for replacing the VAZ 2114 door lock:

1. Partial repairs or lubrication will only temporarily restore life to the closing mechanism. If problems arise, it is better to replace the entire cylinder.
2. After installation, it is necessary to periodically lubricate the mechanism. Experienced motorists use silicone substances for this.
3. The repair procedure is carried out in a well-lit room at a comfortable temperature.
4. To change the element, you will need a set of screwdrivers, pliers and lubricant.
5. Sometimes the springs have to be replaced along with the cylinder. They are purchased separately.

The cylinder fragment is sold as a set. The price depends on the manufacturer. If you buy a cheap Chinese version, it will cost about 150 rubles. It is better to give preference to VAZ spare parts. The cost of such a kit is 400-500 rubles.

Repair or replacement of larva

Not every motorist is in a hurry to replace the cylinder; first, disassembly is carried out and the internal parts are checked. If the front pins are not broken off, lubrication will extend the life of the lock. Disassembly and repair step by step:

1. The casing and internal handle are dismantled: the clips are removed, the screws are unscrewed.
2. The rod is detached from the closing mechanism.
3. A similar method is used to dismantle the external handle.
4. The bracket is removed from the cylinder with pliers, and the plastic retainer is unfastened. To do this, it is pryed off with a screwdriver. To remove the clamp, you need to unscrew a special screw.
5. The lock washer and the internal drive rod are removed. Then the core is removed.

Next comes repair or replacement, and then collection. If reassembly and lubrication of individual parts does not produce results, then the cylinder will have to be changed. A new larva is inserted into the core. Then the door part and the lock are reassembled.

Withdrawal procedure

Depending on the reason, a complete or partial replacement is performed. It is not recommended for the average person to engage in reassembly, since there are too many nuances in this process, but almost anyone can replace the mechanism. Step-by-step instruction:

1. Three screws are unscrewed. They are located on the inside of the handle. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover.
2. The front trigger glass position switch is removed along with the wiring harness block. To do this, the wires are first disconnected.
3. The plug on the armrest handle is removed, the element is picked up with a thin corner of a screwdriver.
4. Unscrew the 2 screws on the handle that hold the inner panel.
5. The plastic clips are pressed out to remove the lining.
6. 6 pistons are removed to remove the door card.
7. The external fastenings are removed, the nuts are unscrewed with an 8mm wrench.

The last action is to gain access to cravings.

Features of door adjustment

The adjustment work involves changing the height of the rods.
The rods are attached using plastic tips that have a ball joint inside. Correct adjustment of the door lock is carried out by pulling out the groove. Next, you will need to twist slightly counterclockwise or clockwise. The lock is adjustable by selecting the ideal length. So please be patient. After the repair, you will have to adjust the sash slamming mechanism. By the time you move on to setting it up, you can already return the trim back to the door, since the work will be carried out with the latch on the body. Move the clamp up or down until you achieve the perfect result. The door should latch easily, without noise or effort. This adjustment can be made without replacing the lock cylinder if you are not satisfied with the need to apply force when closing.

How to remove cravings

To remove this piece, you will need an impact screwdriver and a size 8 wrench. The piece is attached to the internal locking mechanism and the lock switch. Algorithm of actions:

1. The internal lock of the outer handle rod is completely disconnected.
2. The handle is removed along with the rods.
3. The pin is removed from the end of the rods.
4. The plastic tip is removed from the core of the cylinder device.
5. The return spring is removed. The old larva is being removed.

Usually the rods are fixed with plastic hinges, so they can be disconnected with a flat-head screwdriver.

How to replace a lock cylinder

Very often it is the lock cylinder that fails, so we will look below in more detail about how to replace it. To do this, you will need a thin wire or needle and a flat-head screwdriver.

First of all, we remove the spring, which throws the key in the lock when opening. Just pry it off with a screwdriver and remove it, first remembering its position so that you can put it back in the same way:

Now we take a thin wire and with its end we squeeze out the cylinder fixation rod, as shown in the photo below:

After which the upper ring is removed and the larva is removed from the reverse side:

The cylinders are replaced in pairs, on both the left and right doors, and also at the same time as the trunk lock, so that you have just one key for everything! Otherwise, you will have to carry several keys with you, which is not very convenient. The price of the set is 300 rubles maximum, so your wallet won’t be too empty.

Installing a new part

The removal and assembly algorithm is the same, although the instructions for installing the cylinder mechanism have its own nuances. Before inserting a new cylinder into the core, the part is lubricated with a silicone substance and only then inserted into the handle. Further algorithm of actions:

1. The return spring is inserted next to the cylinder.
2. The functionality of the key is checked. It should turn easily in all positions.
3. A pin is installed on the tip of the rotary rod. Connection is being made.
4. The inner and outer panels are screwed on, the handles are fixed, and the plug is returned to its place.
5. The main three screws are tightened from the inside.

You won’t have to change the lock cylinder for a long time if you carefully use the opening mechanism.

Door lock device VAZ 21099

The auto parts store for VAZ sells locks with cylinders and the cylinders themselves separately. There are no complaints about their quality. In some cases, drivers change the entire lock. This repair takes longer than replacing the cylinder.

It should be remembered that the key is already inserted into the purchased cylinder. It cannot be removed. Otherwise the mechanism will fall apart. It will take a lot of time to put it back together. A door lock consists of three main elements:

• external door handle with cylinder;
• internal lock mechanism;
• internal door handle with cylinder.

If your car has electric windows, then before replacing the cylinder, you need to remove the terminals from the battery.

To replace the larva you will need:

• Screwdriver Set;
• a set of small keys or heads;
• small hammer or awl;
• pliers;
• new door lock cylinder;
• lubricant

Trunk lock repair

As a rule, the trunk lock on VAZ cars lasts longer than door locks, which is caused by fewer openings/closings in an equal period of time. But, due to complete wear and tear (or loss of the keys), it still has to be replaced. In most cases, the lock mechanism itself, as well as its body, remains fully operational - only the cylinder into which the keys are directly inserted wears out. It will then need to be replaced with a new one.

To do this you will need:

• crosshead screwdriver;
• slotted screwdriver;
• a set of keys.

The trunk lock cylinder of a VAZ 2114 is replaced as follows:

1. Open the trunk.
2. Remove the plastic rivets (“hedgehogs”) holding the plastic socket around the lock by picking them up with a slotted screwdriver or a special extractor.
3. Remove the panel.
4. Unscrew the fasteners holding the lock.
5. Remove the lock.
6. Unscrew the fastening screws holding the cylinder in the lock and remove it.
7. Install a new cylinder inside the lock.

Reassembling the lock and installing it in place is performed in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.

New lock cylinders are sold with keys inserted into the keyhole. You should not remove them before the cylinder is installed inside the lock, since this threatens its individual elements falling out, which will be extremely difficult to install in place.

After the VAZ 2114 lock cylinder has been replaced and the lock itself has been installed in place, you should carefully inspect its counterpart, called the latch (the lock tongue goes behind it when the trunk is locked). In most cases, there is no need to replace the retainer because it has no moving parts and has a very long service life.

Replacement may only be necessary if a crack appears on the body of the clamp (it is made of silumin). The replacement process itself is simple and consists of unscrewing the old fastener and installing a new device.

The only thing you will need to pay attention to is the correct setting of the lock. To check its quality, you just need to close the trunk lid and see how it locks. If locking does not occur, it is too tight, or, on the contrary, a noticeable play is felt, then the lock is not adjusted.

To configure, you need:

• loosen a pair of fastening bolts of the clamp;
• close the trunk (at this moment the latch itself will adjust to the location of the lock tongue);
• open the trunk;
• tighten the retainer mounting bolts.

If after the adjustment procedure the trunk begins to lock even worse, then most likely the mating part of the locking element is skewed. It is enough to unscrew the fasteners, place it straight without moving the lock itself, tighten the bolts - and the trunk will be easy to lock.

Recommendations from experienced car mechanics

There are several tips that you need to follow when dealing with the VAZ lock cylinder and when replacing it. Experts advise:

• If the lock is jammed or has problems opening the lock, you need to take the time to replace it. Lubricating the mechanism or repairing it are only temporary measures that can delay the failure of the locking device for several months.
• To avoid the need for repeated replacement after a year, you need to lubricate it frequently. To do this, you need to use silicone-based products.
• Along with the cylinder, you will have to change the springs. Please note that they must be received separately.
• Before removing the lock cylinder from the package (the newest one) or before dismantling it, you need to insert the key into it. This will help hold the pins in place. If this is not done, they will fall out, and the work contractor will have to collect them from the floor of the box for a long time.
• The service life of the lock depends on the user. If you carry out preventative maintenance on time and work with it carefully, the mechanism will last longer.

To replace the lock, you will need to have a set of screwdrivers, pliers, and silicone grease on hand. But the most important thing is to purchase a complete cylinder set.

Try to choose high-quality spare parts, because cheap locks from China (approximately 150 rubles each) usually do not survive the winter season. It is best to get Russian-made kits (AvtoVAZ or DAAZ), which are more expensive and will perform their functions for a couple of years.

Replacing door locks

If your car doors become difficult to lock or unlock, you may need to replace the door locks. In order to do this, you will need new locks, as well as the same set of tools as to replace the trunk lock.

Before changing the locks on a VAZ 2114, you should disconnect the “mass” terminal from the battery so as not to provoke a short circuit and even a car fire.

The replacement itself is carried out in the following order:

1. Remove the door trim.
2. Disconnect the rods connecting the outer door handle to the lock.
3. Remove the pair of screws securing the inner handle of the lock.
4. Using a slotted screwdriver, disconnect the rod from the inner handle of the lock.
5. Remove the handle from the door along with the rod.
6. Remove the outer part of the lock.
7. Disconnect the central locking wires.
8. Remove the lock from the technological cavity of the door.
9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the pair of screws securing the switch.
10. Rotate the switch until the slots on its lever align with the protrusions on the rod.
11. Remove the switch.
12. Squeeze the antennae of the plastic rod with slight force, and then dismantle it.
13. Mark with a felt-tip pen the correct position of the latch on the door pillar.
14. Remove the 3 screws holding the retainer in place (this is best done with an impact screwdriver).
15. Remove the retainer and the shims underneath it.

Removing locks from other interior doors is done in exactly the same way. Reinstallation of locks and latches is carried out in the same order, but in reverse order.

That being said, there are a few important points to keep in mind.

• First, before installation, all metal parts of the lock should be lubricated with thick lubricant.
• Secondly, if necessary, you should adjust the length of the pull of the external handle - in this case, you need to ensure that the lock can be locked with a key without any difficulty.
• Thirdly, you should adjust the new latch in the same way as when replacing the trunk lock.

How to replace all door locks, rods and cylinders on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

Removal: 1) First, let's start with the main one, without this it’s not that you can’t change the locks, but in general you can’t start the operation since all the work on replacing all the things that are listed in the title is carried out with the trim removed from the door, it is removed quite simply and for more details on how to do this, if you don’t understand it yet, read the article: “Replacing a door on a VAZ” in Fri 1-8, and after the trim is removed, proceed to removal, let’s immediately note a couple of facts so that to change the cylinder, the rods will certainly need to be disconnected from it, but in order to change the rods, nothing needs to be removed or disconnected, the same with the door locks, the rods will need to be disconnected from them too, and only then unscrew the screws that secure the locks, so first from the locks themselves let's start and explain how they are removed, firstly, you can start disconnecting them completely from any side and from any place, for example, start disconnecting the rod first from the internal lock as shown in photos 1 and 2 (Photo 1 shows the disconnection using a screwdriver on the lock washer that holds the rod, and photo 2 shows the disconnection of the rod itself from the internal lock), then using a screwdriver and your hands, disconnect the other rods and continue the whole operation until the rods on both sides are disconnected, as they are on both sides are disconnected, remove them one hundred percent from the car (there are several rods in the car and each one goes to locks and there is even a rod on the cylinder, they are disconnected as you already figured out with the help of a screwdriver and hands, first just disconnect all the lock washers or plastic clamps and pulling the rod with your hand, disconnect it from the lock or from the cylinder, etc., but the rod is not always secured with the help of clamps, from time to time it is hooked on one end to something, in this case, also disconnect its end with a screwdriver and then To do this, completely remove the rod itself), and thus remove all the rods from the car.

Reasons for replacing the lock cylinder on a VAZ

Most often, the lock cylinder in the doors of VAZ-2113, 2114 and 2115 has to be changed in the following cases:

1. In case of defects or breakages of the locking ring or fixing post. Both of these parts are located in a plastic rod cap and are easily destroyed under the influence of an aggressive external environment - during large temperature changes, in the cold season, etc. The problem is often discovered when a car owner tries to open the car in cold weather. The key starts to turn, but the mechanism does not work. If the cylinder is additionally loaded at this moment (for example, by pressing the door, knocking on it, pushing or pulling), the part will come out of the handle socket.
2. When worn. During the operation of the car, the internal pins of the device wear out and when you try to turn the key in the cylinder, the parts begin to cling to each other, which ultimately leads to their destruction.
3. If the car owner decides to upgrade the door handles or install European locks.

The procedure for removing the outer door handle on a VAZ 2106

First, perform the following procedure: Removing the trim from the front door.

Next we need a head with an extension. The handle is secured from the inside with two nuts. First, unscrew its left side:

The second nut is in a more difficult to reach place, so you will have to gain access to it first. To do this, you need to unscrew the three bolts securing the door lock, as shown in the photo below:

Now from the inside we move the lock mechanism a little to the side so that we can put the head on the second nut securing the door handle:

After which, on the reverse (outer) side, the handle will be released, but will still be held on by the rod, which is attached to the lock cylinder.

To disconnect the door handle, you need to pull with medium force for up to three times until the rod comes off the hook of the cylinder:

That's all done, now the handle is disconnected from the VAZ 2106 door and is ready for replacement.

Installing the new one is done in reverse order. The price of a new such part is 170 rubles on average in all auto parts stores.

External euro handles on the doors of VAZ-2114, VAZ-2113 and VAZ-2115 are a worthy alternative to factory handles.

• Firstly: aesthetics. External euro handles on the doors of VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 give the car a more attractive appearance and make door opening softer.
• Secondly: reliability. The Volzhsky Automobile Plant, trying to reduce the cost of its cars, did not develop new external handles; it simply transferred them from previous models that were more than a quarter of a century old.

One of the common “diseases” of the Lada Samara 2 family and earlier VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 cars is broken keys (triggers) of the external handles. Often such breakdowns occur in winter. During daytime temperature changes or after a car wash, moisture gets into the door lock mechanism, the mechanism freezes, and it is impossible to open it. Trying to open the door, we apply force, breaking the trigger. This will not happen with euro pens. They have an improved direct grip mechanism. This creates a stronger lever arm, which prevents the handle mechanism from breaking. This technology is successfully used on European cars. The handle itself is made of heavy-duty plastic (glass-filled polyamide).

Currently, Russian developers are represented on the market under the trademarks “Lynx” and “Tune-Auto”. Which produce European-class handles for VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 and, of course, VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115, both painted in body color and unpainted. Rubber gaskets included. To increase the reliability of fastening, the gaskets are usually coated with sealant.

Any car enthusiast can buy and install external euro door handles. Replacement will not take much time and effort. To do this, you need a screwdriver and a key size 8. First, from the interior side, you need to remove the window lifter handle and the lock release button. Then unscrew the screws on the armrest handle and remove the handle. Next, remove the door trim. Having gained internal access to the standard door handle, dismantle it through the mounting window by unscrewing two 8-point nuts, not forgetting to remove the rod from the leash. Installation of the euro handle on the door of a VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 occurs in the reverse order. The scheme for replacing Euro handles on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 is identical to the previous one.

Many owners of Lada Samara and Lada Samara 2 have a positive attitude towards euro handles, and without waiting for a breakdown, they replace the factory handles with euro ones. By purchasing external euro door handles for VAZ 2113,14,15 from and Tune-Auto, you will forever forget about repairing external door handles, make your car bright, and opening doors comfortable.

VAZ-2114 owners have repeatedly faced the problem of replacing a door handle. This process is quite simple, but people often get confused with it and, out of ignorance, damage the element itself or a neighboring one. The article will tell you how to replace a door handle from the outside without much effort.
