Step-by-step instructions for replacing the outer and inner door handles on a VAZ 2115
The elements that open and close the door structures on your car wear out over time. Replacing the VAZ 2115 door handle from the inside or outside may be required due to abrasions, scratches, and deformation. The procedure for removing and installing a new part is different for the rear and front doors, so separate instructions are provided for each situation.
How to make a castle with your own hands
The easiest way to make a silent lock yourself is to come up with a special coating for the latch pin on the machine body, which is the loop for the lock latch, because the greatest noise occurs when the latch goes behind the loop. To do this, you need half a meter of heat-shrinkable tubing, which can be bought at a radio parts store.
- Unscrew the pins from the fasteners that need to be upgraded.
- Cut the tube to the required size so that the thread remains free for tightening.
- Place the pipe on your finger and heat it with a hairdryer or lighter.
- Allow the tube to cool and settle on your finger, then put another tube on the already installed one, repeating the heating procedure.
- After the tube settles, trim the uneven ends.
- Install the improved pin into the retainer.
The silent loop is ready. After the homemade finger is installed, some problems may arise with closing the door, after all, the tubes are of abnormal thickness. Then the question arises - how to adjust the locks. This is also a fairly simple procedure that does not require special skills:
- the fastening on the lock retainer, which is attached to the body, is slightly weakened;
- the latch moves in the direction required for easy closing of the door. If the door sags when closing, the latch rises. If, on the contrary, the door rests and rises, you need to slightly lower the latch. In the same way, its position can be adjusted by moving the lock forward or backward.
Causes of malfunction
Before replacing a part, you should find out the cause of the failure. The main ones:
- damage after an accident;
- mechanical damage to internal elements;
- Hacking attempt;
- failure of the external door opening manipulator;
- pressing hard on the handle.
Most often, the plastic part breaks or breaks as a result of constant opening.
Installation process
Euro pens - general view.
So, in order to install Euro handles on a car, you will need the products themselves, a flat-head Phillips screwdriver, some knowledge of door design, as well as hands that have grown from the right place. The parts are installed on standard fasteners, so the door does not require additional manipulations, which many people love so much - drilling or welding.
So. Let's consider the sequence of actions aimed at installing Euro handles:
- First of all, we dismantle the inside door handle, the window handle, and the door card.
- Disconnect the door handle rods.
Replacing the inner handle
If the internal door handle of a VAZ 2115 is broken, then cosmetic repairs are impossible. To repair, you will need a standard set of tools: several types of screwdrivers, a sharp knife and a 8mm wrench. It is better to change the part while in the salon. Algorithm for replacing a part:
- The lining is removed. It is pryed off with the thin end of a screwdriver. It is important to remove all fragments of decor.
- The door card is being dismantled.
- The rod is disconnected.
- To remove the remains of the broken opening device, the fasteners are unscrewed.
- A new element is installed. It should be attached to the rod, and then the facing elements should be reassembled.
The trim on the VAZ is fixed with special clips. To remove them, you can pry up the edge with a screwdriver. Proceed with caution as they are plastic and may break. This is affected by rough handling, material wear or cold.

Replacing the internal door opening handle Good day) today I was replacing the internal door opening handle (a jock friend tore it off: D) I would like to post detailed instructions for replacing, because I myself have not found one, maybe it will be useful for someone)) So, let's begin.1. You need to pull out the plug. Since the entire door card and handle are plastic, there will naturally be kinks, so you should start removing it in a “more or less” inconspicuous place, somewhere below. Out of inexperience, I plucked it out with a screwdriver. In general, advice: pick somewhere where you won’t be able to see the bumps later, and after replacing you can go over it with fine sandpaper.12. Next, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two bolts and remove the handle.23. Now we need to remove the plug of the handle itself, which we will be replacing. It is better to start pulling it out from the place marked in red. And remove the window lift handle.
It consists of three parts: the handle itself, the gasket and the “latch” (located between the two above) - we actually need to pull it out.
It can be easily removed by a translational movement in the direction opposite to the direction of the handle (for me it was difficult to pull out, so I pushed a flat screwdriver on both sides and then pulled it out).34. You will get a picture like this.4Next, unscrew the lock button and remove the door card. In principle, no matter how carefully you do it, the plates on which it rests will in any case fly off or be torn off by the roots, so stock up on self-tapping screws: D The places marked in red are exactly the holes for the “chops”, they are all located around the perimeter ( there are about ten of them). After removing, unscrew the 2 bolts that secure the handle (highlighted in green). We simply remove the old handle from the door open/close mechanism and pull it out.
Next, as shown in purple, we insert a new handle and here you will need to show miracles of accuracy and insert it so that it is good: D Next, screw it onto the same 2 bolts (there will be an oval hole, not a round one. It is intended to regulate the force that needs to be apply to open the door. If it closes with a signal, it is better to install it approximately in the middle of the hole, but it is better to try in different ways, everyone is unique) The main thing is to check before assembly that the piston drive responsible for locking the door works as necessary.
56. Well, that’s it, put everything back together) These are the adventures we had with “Wigga” today) Have a good day and good mood everyone)
Replacing the outside door handle
Replacing the inner door handle of a VAZ 2115 is not as difficult as dismantling the outer element. First you need to determine the fastening method, which is specified in the technical document for the car. It will not be possible to get to the fasteners without removing the casing. Armed with screwdrivers and a 8mm wrench, it is important to follow the step-by-step instructions:
- Remove trim.
- Remove the thrust rods from the closing mechanism.
- Unscrew the external fastening screw.
- Remove the rubber seals and remove the handle.
- Inspect and clean the installation site of the new structure.

How to remove the internal door lock
Replacing the internal door lock cylinder of VAZ-2114 and 2113 can be done quickly and efficiently even outside the service station. Those who decided to replace the device with the 2115 model should take into account that the body of the “tag” is slightly different from the 14 and 13 models.
To work you will need:
- Anti-corrosion aerosol WD-40.
- Open-end wrench set to "8".
- Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.
- A set of new cylinders and springs (sold separately).
Before changing the part, you will have to disassemble the door to remove the old mechanism.
Important! If there are bolts/nuts that cannot be loosened or are rusted, you should treat them with WD-40 40 minutes before removal.
Experienced car enthusiasts recommend recording the entire process on your phone. It makes sense to take step-by-step photographs of disassembling the door: this will help you quickly and without loss put it back together when the new cylinder is installed.
- You need to unscrew the three screws located at the bottom of the door trim. A Phillips screwdriver will help.
- After removing the cover, you need to remove the trigger glass switch, remove the wire block and disconnect them from the switch.
- Next, use a screwdriver to remove the plug from the armrest handle.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, you need to unscrew the two screws that are installed in the handle mount, and then remove the door trim.
- There is a panel installed in the door card, from which 6 pistons need to be removed.
- The external mount, located in the handle, has a pair of nuts. They need to be unscrewed using the “8” key.
Handle selection
Repair will require a new part. The mechanism is sold for the driver's or passenger's door. When purchasing, you should pay attention to:
- Appearance of the product. Experts recommend taking a closer look at Euro pens.
- Manufacturer.
- Material of manufacture. The standard version is made of plastic, but there may be products with additional elements. Some manufacturers add chrome strips.
It is better to purchase AvtoVAZ products. Factory articles: 2109-6105180 – for internal, 2108-6105177 – for external product.
What are Euro pens?
It is impossible to say for sure why they are called Euro pens. Apparently, this somehow relates to European cars, Western auto production. Let's be honest, the factory door handles on the “fourteenth” are far from being an example of automotive design art.
Euro handles are a set of door handles that significantly transform the appearance of the car and allow you to open and close doors more comfortably. They have a comfortable design and are pleasant to hold with your hands. Plus, the quality of individual handle models significantly exceeds even VAZ factory elements for opening front and rear doors.
