How to adjust door gaps on a VAZ 2110

Adjusting the doors of the VAZ 2110 is required when it is necessary to correctly set the gaps of car openings. The factory setting changes over time. The imbalance leads to other disturbances: creaking appears, the sealing of the interior decreases, and incorrect operation of the lock or handles is observed. After inspecting the body, it is important to identify the part that requires adjustment.

What to do if your car door is sagging

Sagging car doors are a “disease” of used cars. To solve this problem, you often have to resort to a radical method of replacing (digesting) the hinges, and for this you need to dismantle the doors, which takes a lot of time and effort. However, in most cases, doors can be straightened using simpler and faster methods.

Signs of a sagging car door:

The doors do not close well or require force to open them.
When driving over uneven surfaces, the doors squeak (metal squeak).
After rain, water appears in the cabin.
There are scratches on the sills.
Due to the skew of the door, uneven gaps appear.

You should start by tightening the door hinge bolts. If this doesn't help, then try the following tips:

How to straighten car doors

The same method can be applied using a jack. The door should also be slightly open. We place a jack under the edge of the door through a block so as not to bend the door. We lift the door in the same way, at first a little, if this is not enough, we increase the force.

As a rule, such methods solve the problem of sagging doors, but for a certain time. After bending the door like this, sooner or later it will still return to its initial sagging state. A more reliable method is to lay plates of a certain thickness:

Remove sagging doors using washers

To place the washer you will need to place a block under the door, and then:

Unscrew the lower door mounting bolt. Please note that to unscrew this bolt you will need to use an impact screwdriver or a large lever.
Pull the door towards you a little, and then slide the washer under the hinge.
Install the bolt and tighten it back.

This simple and proven method is sometimes not possible to put into practice. Sometimes it is not possible to unscrew the required bolt even with an impact screwdriver; in this case, you can consider another method:

How to align the doors of a VAZ 2110 using a bolt

You will need a finger-sized bolt. Procedure: Place the bolt from the inside on the bottom hinge of the door, head up, so that it hangs on the edge of the hinge. Carefully close the door so that the bolt does not fall, but gets caught inside the hinge. Slowly close the door and see the result. If necessary, repeat the procedure again, the main thing is not to overdo it.

By the way, one of the reasons for the rapid sagging of doors is the weight that increases after installing sound insulation or podiums.

How to adjust the doors on a VAZ 2101-VAZ 2107?

The note! If you suddenly cannot unscrew the bolts that secure the hinges using a rotating screwdriver, then resort to drilling them, for this you will need a 6 mm drill bit and a good drill bit, and for those bolts that cannot be unscrewed, drill their heads to a depth of about 6, then using an 8mm drill bit, about 4.5mm deep, and once the heads are cut, remove the door and unscrew the studs with pliers and saw them with WD-40 if necessary!

1. There are several ways to look at them all, the first is to unscrew the bolts that secure the door hinges to the body (they are marked with a red arrow, not all bolts are visible in the photo, in fact there are many more of them, and there is a lower hinge), turning them towards you , you will need to install thick washers like the ones shown in the small photo, so by choosing the thickness and number of washers you can line up the door the way you need it if you don't want to constantly unscrew bolts and want to finish faster, then cut all the washers so that they fit under the loosened bolts and then they can be clamped with the same bolts, because of this you don't have to constantly unscrew the bolts, just unscrew them a little, install the cut washer, screw it, etc. until the door will not align.

2. The next method is to put a thick metal plate under the hinge, as a rule, take a plate, again, the thickness is selected individually, if the door hangs too low, the plate should be thick, if it hangs a little, then thin enough, so why make one? plate, you ask, we answer: from any metal that most likely lies in your garage and has a small thickness so that it can be cut, if not, then the stove can be made of metal, maybe, for example, or from that what should be (It's all up to your imagination), in addition, the plate should be cut down the center as you see in the photo below, just so that the bolts can be wrapped around, and to prevent this plate from being visible, make it a little smaller than the hinge, but just cut it to length so that it fits from top to bottom.

The note! To put a plate like this under a hinge, you need to do the same thing, remove a few of the hinge bolts of that hinge and then put a plate under it, we recommend starting with the bottom hinge because if you put it under the top hinge, it's likely that that the door will go down. Instead of proper straightening!

3. Last but not least, we will immediately warn you that this is difficult (for whom it looks like, but we only resort to it when the hinges are already terribly worn and have a terrible backlash) but are still serviceable and even more reliably, this is done in the following way: the door is completely removed from the machine, after which the middle part, under which the pin is installed, is drilled or sawed using a grinder (the middle part is in any case marked with a red arrow). Look, do not touch the parts shown with a blue arrow, and to things we indicated the pin with a green arrow so that you understand what it is), and at the end the pin is removed and the hinge is removed from the car, a door is put in its place and a new one is installed (a slightly different way to replace hinges, but just do not drill or cut anything, explain in the video clip at the end of the article, if you are interested, then read it).

Additional video: As you can see, there are many ways to restore the door suspension level, but there are not all methods, more details with all of them and obviously with those that were given in this article, you can find in the video below:

Method one:

Second way:

Third way:

The note! In addition to these methods, there is one more, and this is very good, because thanks to it, without changing the hinges, you can make sure that they do not hang, but there is a nuance, and this is where you will have to knock, secure the pin and install the washer under it, but in machines this is not possible at all (basically to remove it, use a grinder to cut off the center part of the hinge like we said above) and so if you can't knock it out, then try (if possible) to trim the washer a little and insert it into the grooves where the washer is needed, lay out the sash while pinning, for details and clearly watch the video below:

Typical faults and solutions

Most often, VAZ 2110 owners encounter the following problems with the locking mechanism:

It is impossible to close the door or a lot of force must be applied. Reasons: the latch is too moved inside the passenger compartment or the lock drives are incorrectly adjusted. Remedy: Move the lock outward slightly or adjust the drives.
The door does not close completely and remains closed only in the first (emergency) position. Reason: The locking mechanism has failed. Remedy: repair or replace the locking mechanism.
The door lock does not work. Causes: the locking mechanism has been adjusted incorrectly. Remedy: adjust the locking mechanism.

If the car has been converted to an electric lock, then it is necessary to diagnose the operation of the electrical signal from the key fob to the catchers, check the connection diagram and only then disassemble the door panel. The rear door lock is checked in the same way after diagnosing the central system.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY!

Adjusting door handles

A No. 20 screwdriver will help you adjust the Euro handle, but first you need to disassemble the facing panel. Step-by-step algorithm:

Removing the plugs. Unscrewing the bolts.
Removing the cover. Handle recess.
Disconnecting the retainer wires.

Checking/inspecting the mechanism will tell you exactly what the problem is. Most often, the cause of the violation is contamination or excessive tightening of the internal bolt. If it breaks, you have to change the retainer, washer or retaining ring. When the elements are cleaned and lubricated, assembly is carried out. Screw tightening is no more than four turns.

If the hardware is damaged or there are cracks on the body, a new part must be installed.

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.

Removal

When you have purchased the required number of seals, you can begin to work.

The first step is to remove the old rubber elements, after which the installation of new parts begins.

Let's tell you more about the dismantling procedure.

Remove the plastic trim panels installed on your vehicle's door sills. To do this you will need a thick screwdriver. Remove carefully, being careful not to damage the plastic caps. But it’s better to buy new ones in advance if you can’t carefully dismantle the threshold.
Now remove the old pieces of rubber from the seats. Simply tear off the sections that are torn off by hand.
Remaining rubber can be cleaned off with any available tool. Only be careful with sharp objects so as not to damage the metal and paint layer.
Very small residues and traces of glue are removed using solvents. Make sure that the solvent you choose will not damage your paintwork.
Go over the doorway with a vacuum cleaner, remove all dust and dirt. Take special care to clean the bottom part. If wet cleaning was used, wait until everything is thoroughly dry.

Upcoming work

Installation

This process cannot be called complicated. You are not required to have any special training or extensive experience. Although you should at least be able to handle glue.

General information about the operation of a car lock

VAZ 2110 door lock adjustment

In a car, the design principle of all locks is almost identical. However, the ignition system lock is rightfully considered the most reliable. From a vehicle security perspective, the ignition switch is the last line of defense against theft. Car doors are a functional element that is daily subject to mechanical influence from the outside. Few motorists actually treat the doors of their own cars with care. Main functions of car doors:

protective, which consists of maintaining security;
insulating, is to create a visual seal of the car, thereby significantly increasing the level of comfort of movement.

Note. During operation, all metal elements of car doors, which are not practically difficult to notice with the naked eye, must be regularly coated with anti-corrosion substances, since exposed metal areas significantly increase the likelihood of metal rotting due to exposure to external adverse factors.

A Practical Look at a Car Door Lock

VAZ 2110 trunk lock adjustment

Cases when there is a practical need to adjust the car door lock:

an unsuccessful attempt to steal and, as a result, mechanical damage to the lock;
ultra-long service life;
exposure to adverse factors;
careless handling of a car door, etc.

Adjusting the lock

Adjusting the door lock on a VAZ 2110 requires loosening the latch or brackets. The element is located on the door pillar. The displacement causes the structure to sag. Instructions:

Open the door and grasp the latch with the key.
Move the part up or down along with the door. The adjuster will immediately understand when the part returns to its place.

It is important to hold the fragment tightly while working.

Adjustment of the plumb part is provided. Tapping the bracket with a hammer will help.

How to replace door hinges on a VAZ 2110 car

If you need to replace the hinge on the front door of a VAZ 2110, then in addition to dismantling the door, you also need to remove the front fender. Then:

A workplace is prepared, preferably a table, which is covered with a soft cloth to preserve the paintwork. This is not necessary for major renovations.

Replacing door hinges on a VAZ 2110 begins by cutting off the old hinges at the base.
Rust is cleaned and removed from the installation site of new hinges.
New hinges are screwed to the car body pillar.
The door is installed in the opening.
Fixed in the correct position relative to the body. In this case, you need to monitor the gaps along the threshold and between the roof and the adjacent door.
The door is pre-fixed using any method.
The wing is put in place.
Gaps are controlled.
The wing is removed.
The hinges are welded to the door.
All additional fixations are removed.
The correct installation of the doors is checked. To do this, you need to open and close them several times.

How to replace door hinges on a BA 2110 is clearly visible in the video.

In exceptional cases, namely, if it is necessary to repair the door or completely replace it, you will first need to remove it from the car. The whole process is quite simple and does not take much time, but you should definitely have tools such as:

Ratchet handles: large and small
Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
Extension Cords
Socket heads for 10 and 13 mm

Door hinge repair options

Failure or severely deformed hinges are repaired using the following methods:

Complete door replacement. It is complicated by the fact that it is not always possible to find new VAZs for old ones. You have to buy old elements that are partially worn out.

Replacing door hinges, as well as fingers, is the most rational option in this case. It's inexpensive and relatively easy to do. If necessary, additional equipment can always be rented at a service center or automotive supply store. The cost of the hinges themselves for the VAZ 2110 and similar models is only about 300-500 rubles. You can also find old, used ones for sale. You will have to pay less for them. But new VAZ 2110 doors will cost several thousand rubles. And they are sold, as a rule, without glass and cladding. Their installation is an additional waste of money.

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.

Refinement of the base and mechanisms

One of the main disadvantages of a door lock is that it makes a lot of noise when closing. And the culprits of this shortcoming are the outer part and the locking bar, which engages with it when closing. The reason for the loud sound lies in the fact that all the parts that come into contact with each other are metal.

The best way out is to purchase a silent lock, in which the parts in contact with each other are made of plastic. You can modify the mechanism yourself, as a result the door will close even quieter and softer.

Dismantle the outer part of the old lock without removing the casing.
Remove the small retainer latch spring. Insert the large spring into place.
Cut or remove the shaped rubber seal. The part often comes out of its seat because the block is skewed against its base, which prevents the door from closing normally.
Slightly grind and adjust the nose of the locking ratchet, which, when closed, engages with the latch on the stand.
Glue a rubber gasket or any vibration-absorbing material to the base of the door where the lock will be attached.
Lubricate and install the new modified mechanism in the place where the old one stood.

Removal

Dismantling work is the beginning of your journey to replacing the door panel trim. It's nice to know that this task is quite simple. This is especially true for the front doors.

We will tell you separately about the nuances of dismantling the front and rear door trims of your VAZ 2110.

Front

Let's say right away that the likelihood of damaging the standard clips is very high. But this is not scary, since new products are cheap, and their installation is much simpler than repairing old caps.

If you are installing Euro panels, you will have to remove the lever from the window regulator.

The process is performed according to a certain algorithm:

Using a thin screwdriver, pry the window handle trim away from the socket. Direct it in such a way that it disengages. Now remove the lining. This item is not relevant for those whose car is equipped with electric windows;
Remove the socket now;
Using a screwdriver, press out the latch on the plug for the inner handle of your armrest, and then remove it;
Remove the handle mounting screws;
Press the inner handle of the lock and turn the armrest handle up. This way you can remove the element;
Next, unscrew the button that blocks the door lock;
Remove the screw that secures the exterior mirror control mechanism. It must be removed from the lever;
Remove the triangular trim. To do this, the fastening pins are removed from two holes in the door.

Rear

The rear trim is removed slightly differently. But this does not make the procedure significantly more complicated.

Remove the three mounting screws;
Remove the trim;
Using a screwdriver, press out the upholstery. This will allow the pistons to pop out;
Try to keep the screwdriver as close to the piston as possible to avoid breaking the holders;
Don't forget to also remove the spacer sleeve from the window lift shaft.

Self-upholstery

Now we can begin to create a new look for your interior by independently reupholstering the dismantled door panels.

Before starting work, be sure to clean the cards, go over them with a vacuum cleaner, and replace the door seals if necessary. This will allow them to close better, without unnecessary noise.

The job of re-upholstering yourself is not difficult. Especially if you already have experience working with fabric or leatherette in or outside the car.

Measure and cut the pieces from your chosen fabric or vinyl to size.
An allowance of 5-7 centimeters must be provided for each side. This is necessary in order to avoid the use of patches when covering.
Gradually apply adhesive to the cards, letting it dry a little. Just be sure to make sure that the glue does not dry completely.
When you have coated the doors, use the same glue to treat the surfaces of fabric or leatherette, depending on what you choose. Let these elements sit for about 10 minutes so that the glue dries a little, but does not dry out.
After the specified time has passed, begin gluing elements of the material onto the door cards. Vinyl is good because it stretches well and fills all the differences and depressions in the card structure.
To ensure that the vinyl stretches and fills all the gaps, preheat the material using a hair dryer.
Smooth the material by hand, but it is better to wear gloves for this.
The edges with the allowance are carefully folded to the wrong side, after which they can be trimmed.
Do the same with all the doors of your VAZ 2110. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here.
Experienced car owners and fans of comprehensive tuning of domestic cars note that some other interior elements should be covered with the same material in order to achieve an ideal picture of the car’s interior. This could be the glove compartment lid, a triangle near the mirrors, a steering casing, etc.
When reassembling cards with new skins, use pistons. To install them, you will need to make appropriate holes in the casing. This is where a sharp utility knife comes in handy.

Adjusting door locks on Priora, 2107, 2110 and 2112 Universal method

Quite often, drivers wonder how door locks are adjusted on Priora, 2107, 2110 and 2112. This is a fairly common job. The bodies of domestic cars have never been of particular quality. The problem arises due to misalignment of parts; wear of the elements of the lock itself can also affect it; this is usually observed on fairly old cars. In any case, adjustments will need to be made. Otherwise, the door will either open while moving or not close at all. This will, at a minimum, cause you inconvenience, and at a maximum, it may turn out to be unsafe. Adjusting door locks on Priora, 2107, 2110 and 2112

does not require special skills.
Even a beginner can handle this job. Such repairs do not require a large number of tools. Everything you need can be found in any garage. Adjusting and replacing the lock on 2107
First, you should identify the reason for the poor operation of the lock. In some cases, the problem is sagging hinges. Because of this, the door sag and, accordingly, the lock does not coincide with the latch. You can check this by measuring the gaps between the door and the body. This figure can range from 3 to 7 millimeters. It is important that it is completely uniform. If the indicator is different, then you need to adjust the position of the loop. In some cases, this may save you from further manipulations with the lock. The lock is adjusted in the following order:

The position of the latch is outlined directly on the car. To do this, you can use a marker;
If the door closes with just 1 click or just closes tightly. You need to unscrew the lock and move it to the sides of the outer part of the body;
The door closes, but the gap remains, you need to loosen the latch, and then move it inside the body.

Sometimes, drivers experience problems opening the car from the inside. This occurs due to the door handle being misaligned. To fix it, you need to unscrew the screws securing the handle, move it to the optimal position and secure it. Replacing a lock is also not a difficult task. This option is used when other methods no longer help. Installation of the new mechanism is carried out in the following order:

First, remove the armrest, window regulator, dismantle the trim;
Unscrew the button that turns off the lock. The manufacturer recommends using a slotted screwdriver to disconnect the switch rod from the locking mechanism, but in practice you can do without it;
From the end of the door, unscrew two screws securing the groove;
Remove the tongue from the groove, while the gutter moves away, this happens together with the seal;
Unscrew the 2 screws securing the inner handle. It must be pushed inside the door;
Unscrew 3 screws securing the locking mechanism to the door;
All that remains is to remove the lock from the door. This is done together with the rod and the internal handle.

Reassembly should not be difficult for you. The hardest part is installing the inside handle. It should be installed together with the lock and rod. The difficulty lies in inserting the handle into the groove intended for it. Don't forget to lubricate the mechanism when installing it. This will extend its service life.

Replacing and adjusting locks on VAZ 2110 and 2112

Often, the reason for a poorly closing door is the displacement of the main part of the lock relative to the receiving part. In this case, you simply need to adjust the position of the latch. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws securing the clamp. This will allow you to move it in the desired direction. Tighten the screws and check the door operation. If you cannot adjust the lock, then perhaps its parts are simply worn out. In this case, you will have to replace it. This is done in the following order:

First you need to remove the casing, it’s not difficult, so we won’t focus on this;
The outer door handle rod is disconnected from the lock;
The lock lever is disconnected from the lock cylinder rod;
The lock handle (inside) is removed from the rod;
Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing the outer part of the lock, after which it can be removed;
The inner part of the lock is removed together with the blocking rod, as well as the handle rod;
Disconnect the locking rod. To do this, remove the plastic rod holder. Be careful. It can be easily broken;
The outer handle rod is disconnected by removing the lock washer.

How to remove a door from a VAZ 2110-2112 car

Before you begin this repair, you will need to remove the trim, as underneath there are power wires that will need to be disconnected, namely:

Window lifter
Central castle
Front speakers (if installed)

After this, in order to remove this entire bundle of wires from the door, you need to pry and disengage the protective rubber casing, and only then pull everything out from the outside:

Then you can unscrew the two bolts securing the door stop, as is more clearly shown in the photo below:

And then you can unscrew the two bolts securing the door to the canopies, top and bottom:

We remove the door and you can do all the necessary work.

When installing a new one, we do everything in the reverse order. As for the price of doors for VAZ 2110-2112, it is approximately:

rear — about 8500 rubles
front - from 9500 to 10500 rubles

I think we've already guessed that the cost of the driver's side will be more expensive.

Removing the front door lock on a VAZ 2110 car is carried out for its repair, replacement of failed elements, as well as when carrying out other work when the presence of a lock will interfere with its progress. Prepare a standard set of tools and perform the following sequence of actions:

Remove the decorative door trim.

We disconnect the outer handle rods and the lock cylinder rod from the lock using a small flat-head screwdriver.
Then use a socket head to unscrew the two nuts securing the outer handle and remove it along with the rod.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two fastening screws and remove the outer part of the lock along with the locking rods and the inner handle.

Remove the plastic holder from the lock lock rod and disconnect it from the lever.
After removing the locking bracket, disconnect the rod of the outer handle.

Replace worn elements, then install them in the reverse order. As installation progresses, you will need to adjust the length of the new rods, which is adjusted by unscrewing or twisting their tips.
After assembly, if the door closes poorly or does not close tightly, adjust the position of the outer part of the lock and the latch.

At this point, the repair work to replace the front door lock on the VAZ 2110 has been completed.

Often, in order to perform body work on a VAZ 2110, you have to remove and dismantle body parts. Fortunately, you can do this on your own, without resorting to outside help, thereby saving money when restoring a car after an accident or serious damage to body parts and their components. This type of work includes replacing and adjusting VAZ 2110 doors.

Installation of a ready-made kit

If you decide to buy a ready-made set - VAZ Euro trim panels Lux 2, you will get a more stylish version of the interior.

In addition, such plastic panels improve sound insulation, which is always important for VAZ.

You can also install them yourself.

Door trim VAZ 2110 Lux

We have already talked about how removal is carried out, and now about some of the subtleties of installing Lux 2 upholstery:

The kit usually includes only the upholstery panels themselves in the amount of 4 pieces. Everything else for them - caps, meshes for the speakers - needs to be purchased.
Don’t really believe sellers who claim that the Lux 2 upholstery will exactly fit the doors of the VAZ 2110. Don’t be surprised if some of the clips don’t fit, usually 2 of them in the front door, and 1 in the rear.
Be sure to secure the bottom of the casing with long self-tapping screws.
If your front doors are not equipped with power windows, you will have to make holes for the handles.
With conventional window lift handles, a gap will form in the rear doors, which will need to be masked, for example, using a piece of hose. However, it would be better to immediately install electric windows on all doors - it’s convenient, plus the trim panels will fall into place without problems.

you can't do it well without experience

In general, is there any point in cooking a corner like this, I have friends who know how to use it, I just don’t know if I should buy it, I have deep scratches on the driver’s side of two doors

It's easier to repair scratches. than to digest and roll the corners.

I have about the same thing...sadness (

great post, and most importantly on time! I will also do this in the spring

I’m starting to feel a little bit too (there’s a problem with the arches in general.

You buy a body kit, cook it without problems and cover it with the body kit and the question is closed)

and where did the gutters go from the second door? why didn't you at least drill it?

Because I will drill after I have rubbed the putty, so that less of it gets inside.

We have one 4k door in the city that is being dismantled, and I’m wondering if it’s worth bothering with such repairs

90% of you buy the same thing, under rolling they are rusty, 99% are from used ones, as soon as they come out, it depends on your luck. Rather than changing used ones every couple of years (plus painting the exterior anyway), it’s better to do your own once and for a long time

Car doors, like the doors of a house, should look beautiful and reliable, easy to open and close. Big troubles are associated with a sagging door; it is not only not aesthetically pleasing, but also inconvenient. It may make a creaking or dull knock; if it is not closed tightly, water will flow into the cabin. One of the ways to eliminate defects is to replace the hinges on the doors of the VAZ 2110. The article suggests that you familiarize yourself with doing the work yourself.

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.

To open the door of a VAZ 2112 from the passenger compartment, when you pull the opening handle, you need to pull the door towards yourself for it to open. Otherwise, if you don’t pull the door towards you, it won’t open, why?

Because the lock needs to be adjusted. The latch clamps, you need to move it a little. Just don’t close the door with loose screws, move it a little, tighten it, try it. And so on until you adjust it as needed. There the lock itself moves a little and the counter part is on the stand.

This is because the mechanism is worn out, there is a little wear here, a little there, but in the end we have what we have.

Even more useful tips in a convenient format

Guys, help, in general, the rear right door does not open, not from the outside or from the inside. It's as if it's jammed. How and what to do? maybe someone knows? There were frosts, the door froze, well, somehow I opened it, and then it completely closed and that’s it SO THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED I’ll try to do everything with pictures and explanations, since I’m not the only one, I hope the post won’t be deleted, as it might be useful to someone So, I removed the door card, naturally it was 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 working wrong, I opened and removed the same thing from the second door, closed it and began to study the result of what kind of thrust the lock has, we can say the total, or rather there are two thrusts (external and internal handle), then one of the locks are combined (it turns out like knee) when you open it from the street, one part of the knee moves, and when from the inside, the knee is assembled. I switch to the jammed door and observe that when opening the rod from the street, part of the knee 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, the center of the knee is at the top, but on my door it is at the bottom when closed, and thereby jammed and blocked this draft. Somehow I crawled up, and trying to lift this knee up, it worked, but not the first time. - I open it from the salon and the door comes loose, 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, everything works. Until I thought of this option, I tried as the guys here advised, namely, I tried to heat the castle with my mother’s hairdryer, it took a long time, it was terribly hot. If the tongue were frozen, it would thaw anyway IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME There is another option, as I understand it: we remove the back of the seat, pull out the seal, and a decent gap opens, in which you can see part of the lock and part of the bolt; if you try really hard, you can crawl there with something thin, and get into the lower part of the tongue on the lock and the door will open, I tried it on a working door, IT WORKS, but I didn’t have enough patience on a broken one, so this option DID NOT HELP me. So I think it will be useful for someone, but what if the moderators delete it? I’ll try to create an entry in the forum, only without pictures Thanks to everyone who gave advice, perhaps they will be the solution to the problem for others, but I had a slightly different problem PS leave an entry, it may be useful.

Why do doors sag?

There are several reasons that affect the reliability of door fixation and sagging:

The hinges and axles are badly worn. The door of the vases began to close poorly, and when opening it required considerable force.
The fastening has become loose and a metallic creak is heard when driving on uneven roads.
The pairing of the door fixing elements was broken: the hinges were skewed, and cracks formed in the door body. This leads to uneven gaps and the appearance of water in the cabin after rain.
The door was hit in an accident.
The doors have not been installed or adjusted correctly.

How to fix sagging doors

Advice: Before carrying out work, it is necessary to determine the cause of the sagging.

Why the door sagged, a small test can help:

With both hands you need to grab the bottom of the door and, with slight loosening, check the gap in the vertical plane. Play in the VAZ 2110 door hinge is not allowed.
The door is grasped with hands from above and below. Then you need to try to turn it in a horizontal axis; there should be no movement of the door, no gap is allowed.
A visual inspection is made of the places where the door hinges are fixed to the car body on a VAZ 2110 car, the hinges of the sagging door are compared with the same elements of a working one, the differences in them are determined and a conclusion is made.

Once the cause of the sagging is identified, repairs can begin. It could be:

If the door sag due to excessive wear on the hinge axis, it is necessary to replace the pin in the VAZ 2110 door hinge.
If the entire mechanism has signs of wear or wear, then the VAZ 2110 door hinge assembly needs to be replaced, then the price will be less than installing several new parts simultaneously with heavily worn elements.

After replacing failed parts, it is necessary to adjust the door position. For this:

Tip: To make the adjustment procedure easier, it is better to remove the mating part.

The door is closed and its best vertical position is visually determined.
If the door line runs parallel to the body, and the door itself is shifted down or up, it is necessary to slightly loosen the fixation of the upper and lower hinges and raise or lower the door. After this, secure the position with a fixing screw.
If the corner of the door, the end of which is equipped with a lock, is located slightly below the desired level, while the door hinges on the VAZ 2110 are working properly, the fixation of the lower hinge is unscrewed and the door position is leveled. To do this, thin metal plates or washers are placed under the loop itself, as shown in the photo.

If the edge on which the door lock is located is pulled up strongly, then the fixation of the upper hinge is unscrewed, and the adjusting plates are placed under it.

Why adjust doors?

The door of a modern car should close silently, with a slight push. Understanding that adjustment is required will come if the cause of the breakdown is identified:

The hinges are in the wrong position - the parts are checked for mechanical damage.
The gaps between the door and the body part have been increased - poor adjustment was previously carried out.
The door handle or lock needs to be replaced - the fasteners are poorly secured.
Body deformation occurs as a result of an accident, locksmith work, or improper installation of the door card.

If the driver carefully inspects the car, he will be able to replace sagging or sagging doors. When the door closes with a loud knock or this action requires force, the position of the door leaf has changed.

If the structure opens arbitrarily during movement, the problem is sought in the closing mechanism.

Replacing pins in hinges

So, if the repair only involves replacing the fingers, then the first thing you will need to do is remove the door to gain access to the hinges (3-4 fasteners are simply unscrewed, depending on the model). Next, the fingers are knocked out. If they do not come out due to corrosion or deformation, then you should first thoroughly fill everything with WD-40 to remove the rust and repeat the operation. If this fails, you will have to drill out the pins or replace the hinges completely.

When installing new pins, be sure to lubricate them with grease or oil, and after installation, adjust the door (lower or raise it a few millimeters through a tightening rod). The door should fit accurately into the catch when closing without additional physical effort. Otherwise, the wear and tear on both doors and hinges will be much higher. After 1-2 years of such operation, you will have to completely replace the door along with the hinges.

The main difficulty in repairing VAZ door hinges is to correctly knock out the pins (the same fingers). It’s most convenient to just rivet it and then straighten the loop if necessary. The most aesthetic method is to drill out each end of the finger, after which its edges are ground off or simply squeezed. The drill is immediately taken to the minimum size, then gradually increases literally by millimeter. This will take quite a lot of time, but the loop will not be damaged.

If the finger has other deformations, it may be necessary to make a through hole through the pins. This will not prevent the use of new fingers in the future. For this purpose, either an impact screwdriver or a powerful drill with a high-quality drill bit (carbon steel is ideal) will be useful.

Door device

The design is a metal sheet with niches and holes for fastening. Internal cavities are designed for sound insulation, electrical wires, speakers, window systems, locks and handles. The door is mounted on cast hinges and the rim is lined with a rubber seal. The glass is inserted into the niche. During factory testing, the diameter of the gaps is no more than 1-2 cm. A standard car is available without additional upgrades. Vehicle modifications by inexperienced drivers may cause the door to malfunction.

How to lift a door

If the structure continues to sag, it needs to be raised. We list the main methods:

Open the door, loosen the hinge bolts. Grasp the edge of the body with your hand. Gradually lift until the fragment is in place. Tighten the hardware.
Use a jack to raise the blade and then lower it with a sharp movement.
Buy washers with a diameter of 20x10 mm. The greater the sagging, the greater the width of the part should be: from 1 to 2 cm. The screw of the lower hinge is unscrewed, a washer is inserted onto its post, and the mechanism is tightened.

An integrated approach is recommended during adjustment, so you should carefully study all the information before undertaking independent repairs.

Adjusting the front or rear door

The distance of the gaps, the condition of the hinges, the lock and the opening mechanism are checked. Regardless of which door needs to be configured: front or rear, a universal algorithm of actions is provided:

Loosen the hinges using a wrench. Their internal screws can be accessed by opening the door well.
Lightly tap with a hammer to move the structure to the desired position.
Tighten the bolts once the door is in place. Opening/closing is also checked, and the mechanism is modified if necessary.

The deformation of the metal fragment cannot be corrected by adjustment, only by high-quality straightening.

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:

The casing and internal handle are dismantled: the clips are removed, the screws are unscrewed.
The rod is detached from the closing mechanism.
A similar method is used to dismantle the external handle.
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.
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.

Reasons for replacing the lock cylinder

Blocking of the internal or external mechanism occurs due to improper operation, burglary or severe frost. Prerequisites for the device to break soon: creaking, difficulty turning the key, the rod has difficulty entering/exiting the core. At such moments, the larva can be saved if you go through it: apply lubricant to individual elements and remove contaminants.

For VAZ 2110, replacing the driver's door lock cylinder will be required when:

climatic changes;
failure of the locking ring;
pin falling out;
violation of the integrity of the thrust cap;
wear of columns or teeth.

Adjustment Tools

To adjust the design, equipment, spare parts and preventive measures are prepared. When replacing a lock, the entire mechanism or core is purchased. The price of the device starts from 500 rubles. Preparation includes choosing a room and having the following tools:

It’s easier to adjust the hinges with a key number 10, but if you don’t have one, a tool number nine will do.
