A breakdown of the door, in particular its locks, not only causes discomfort for the motorist, but also calls into question the safety of personal belongings, so replacing the VAZ 2114 door lock is not a procedure that should be postponed. Since the quality of production and metal composition of domestic door locks leaves much to be desired, their breakdowns and failures occur quite often.

Trouble can await the driver at any moment when the driver’s door “suddenly” refuses to open and he has to get out through the passenger door. The situation is much worse when, if the lock breaks, the door remains open and the car remains “defenseless”.

How to measure gaps?

p, quote 3,0,0,0,0 —>

In factories and professional workshops, special rulers are used to make it easier to measure the gaps between panels. Such a line is not difficult to achieve. It can quickly compare different clearances without even storing the values.

The alignment of adjacent panels in the plane can be checked by placing a ruler with one edge simultaneously on two edges of different panels. A gap of 2 mm is allowed between the ruler and the body.

Manufacturer's recommendations for gap size between body panels vary among different body panels. The parameters of the front fender and hood may differ from the parameters of the front fender and front door. Typically, the size of the gaps between panels varies from 3 to 8 mm. In some cases the gaps may be larger.

Why adjust doors?

The reasons for the door not working correctly will require action. If the structure begins to slam or bounce off the car rim when closing, it means a displacement has occurred. To figure out how to adjust the rear doors on a VAZ 2114, you should first determine the reasons. Main signs of a violation:

• subsidence, sagging of the door element;
• the stand moves to the side;
• increased clearance around the entire perimeter;
• difficulty of closing/opening: loud sound, harsh feedback;
• an ordinary push does not close the door, it bounces back;
• incorrect door position;
• displacement of the lock or internal handle;
• the structure has dropped significantly down or, on the contrary, is unnaturally raised;
• the closing device is poorly fixed;
• When driving, the door rattles and sometimes opens.

Primary problems with the hood latch

The first malfunctions in the locking mechanism are noticeable immediately. If you pay due attention to them, a simple adjustment will help you repair the lock. The hood lock cylinder on the VAZ 2109, for example, is made of industrial steel and for it to break completely, you need to ignore the first malfunction signals for more than one month.

1. Each time you close the hood, you need to slam the lid harder and even put pressure on the frame.
2. The lid clangs and rattles on rough roads. Moreover, this can be clearly heard in the cabin.
3. The lock does not close the first time.
4. When the cable is loosened, you need to pull the handle several times for the lock to open.
5. After pressing the hood handle in the cabin, the lid does not lift, forming a gap, but remains in place. The gap between the frame and the cover can only be seen if you lift the cover yourself.

If these signs have just appeared in the car, you can adjust the lock, this will prevent the need to completely replace it.

Door structure: lock, gaps, handle, hinges

When there are preconditions for a malfunction of one of the doors, a visual inspection of the car is carried out. First with the doors closed, then with the doors open. The check will show whether there is skew, displacement or other changes in the streamlined shape of the vehicle. Nuances that require attention:

1. When open, the height of both door fragments should be identical.
2. The gaps are no more than 1–2 cm.
3. Unnatural position of the loops. If this is caused by mechanical damage or shock, then simple adjustment will not help.
4. The backlash is set incorrectly. The skew will tell you about this.
5. The lock does not close well or the handle causes difficulty in operation.

Depending on the problem, an adjustment algorithm is determined. Serious sagging of the door after an accident will not be corrected by tightening the hinges, so it is necessary to straighten the automotive element.

Adjusting the front or rear door

Setting up door cards is carried out in several stages. Experienced drivers take a comprehensive approach; they check gaps, re-adjust hinges, and inspect the locking and manual mechanism. There are several options for customizing the doors:

1. Use a wrench to loosen the internal hinge screws. Tapping with a hammer is carried out so that the structure moves to the desired position. Then the fasteners are tightened back.
2. To even out the gap, the hinge mechanism is also loosened in two places: top and bottom. The door needs to be raised/lowered by adjusting the height.
3. The curvature of the metal can only be corrected by straightening.
4. Adjusting the lock involves loosening the latch, then moving it up/down.
5. The handle is being disassembled. If the internal screws are deformed, they are replaced.

Replacing the entire hinge

If the door is sagging, then the likely cause is deformation or mechanical wear of the hinges. It is corrected by completely replacing them, along with the fingers. You don't have to buy them. You can make it yourself if you have a metal cutting machine. Such repairs will be cheap - you will only have to pay for the purchase of high-quality metal plates.

It is recommended to cut the loops strictly along the boundaries of their wedging. Fingers are placed last. And again, you need to lubricate them, hammer them, and lock them, as the manufacturer himself recommends. Replacement without taking into account their manufacture (if you do it yourself) will take at most several hours, including removing and reinstalling the doors. All that remains is to make the adjustment. And you should understand that in the next few days the noose may fall. This is shrinkage. The door may creak and may not always slam shut normally. If necessary, readjustment is performed.

Adjusting the handles

When repairing a VAZ 2114 and adjusting the door handle, you will need a 20mm screwdriver from your inventory. Disassembling the device will correct the incorrect service of this element. Step-by-step instruction:

1. Remove the plug.
2. Unscrewing the bolts.
3. Handle recess.
4. Disconnecting the retainer wires.
5. Checking the mechanism.

If improper operation is caused by blockage, then the internal elements are cleaned and lubricating work is carried out. When assembling the device, do not tighten the screws too much, no more than four turns with a screwdriver.

Installation of silent locks

The Eurolock is installed on foreign car models, but they are suitable for domestic vehicles. Thanks to a special mechanism with a plastic coating, the door will close silently. To work you will need:

• two wrenches: spanner, open-end;
• drill, drill bits;
• hammer;
• file, pliers;
• screwdrivers;
• screws, screwdriver.

The lock is supplied with a Euro lock, which is mounted in the door post. Algorithm of actions:

1. Unscrew the handle.
2. Remove the panel trim.
3. Disconnect wires and rods.
4. Pull out the old lock.
5. Install a new mechanism.

The device is fixed with self-tapping screws. To do this, drill holes in the rack using a drill. The fasteners are tightened using a screwdriver. Pliers, screwdrivers and a file may be required if the Eurolock does not become tight. Then adjustments are made, edges are filed, bolts are bent. Before final assembly, it is important to ensure that the mechanism is working properly.

Installing silent locks on a VAZ 2114 with your own hands is easy

The doors on the VAZ 2114 close noisily and does it annoy you? You have repeatedly tried to adjust the locks on your VAZ, to reduce their noise, but to no avail. Lubricating the locking mechanisms only makes closing easier, but the noise does not decrease.

Do you dream that your doors close as quietly as on a foreign car? There is an exit. The domestic auto industry has long turned its face to the needs of car owners, and produces silent locks for the VAZ 2114.

Silent locks are a great invention for the domestic automobile industry

A little advice from me

Guys, if they were just disassembling it about repairing a window regulator or installing speakers. My advice to you is that you can improve the design a little, namely, reduce its airflow. I advise you to read this article.

If you are not ready for such insulation, then you should apply ordinary thick cellophane to the metal, 0.3 mm is enough. We directly cut out the door according to the stencil and glue it to the metal (you can use double tape), after making holes for the handles and bolts. I have seen this on many foreign cars, they have it as a must!

What does this give us:

1) The door will not blow out as quickly during the cold period, which will give us a little more heat. The interior will warm up faster.

2) There will still be fewer crickets, because this layer will not allow plastic and metal to interact directly.

Personally tested on my former VAZ 2114, the interior is really warmer in winter.

I’ll finish here, I think it was useful for you, read our AUTOBLOG.

CONSTRUCTION OF CONVENTIONAL AND SILENT LOCKS

Before we talk about how silent locks work, let us remind you of the door lock design of the VAZ 2114. This locking mechanism of the car consists of several elements:

• The inner housing in which the rotating unit is placed. It is the main door locking mechanism.
• The cylinder, which is connected to the rotary unit, has an individual design that matches the outline of the key. The key is inserted into the cylinder and sets in motion the rotary unit, which opens the door. A button on the door is connected to the body, locking it.
• Rods that control the door handles are connected to the lock body.
• In modern models, a gear motor is associated with locking, which turns on the alarm.
• The locking device, which provides locking, is attached to the car body.
• The operating principle of silent locks on VAZ cars is based on sound insulation of metal parts. To be more precise, the noise-insulating material covers the locking mechanism pin and the metal latch that are in contact with each other. Plastic is more wear-resistant, but rubber absorbs sound more effectively.
• In addition to this, the locking parts of the lock are treated with silicone, which provides additional sound insulation.

The so-called silent bolts, which are used to fasten and are required to complete all silent locks, have a good soundproofing effect. The essence of their noiselessness lies in the plastic clamp, which is put on before the thread. Silent bolts for the VAZ 2114 can be bought at an auto parts store, or you can try to make them yourself. How, you will learn about this below.

Silent locks for VAZ, produced by Ptimash in Dimitrovgrad, enjoy a good reputation.

Instructions for dismantling and replacing the mechanism

1. Buy a suitable device. You can choose the appropriate part for your Lada Granta car. This is a good option because it has an electric drive and a limit switch. Unfortunately, when installing a part of this option, you will have to install your own fastening; you can make it from a small steel angle, for example, 40 * 40 * 4 mm.
2. The corner can be cut with a suitable tool, for example, a grinder. It is important to consider the size of the purchased device, as well as the location where it will be installed.
3. The manufactured metal part must be coated with a suitable color.
4. Then plug the hole from the previously installed lock. To do this, you can use the plug from the manual window lifter. It also needs to be painted the same color.
5. If during installation of the product it was necessary to get rid of the wiper, you can use the wires coming from it and connect one to the drive of the part, and the second to the connector of the mounting block.
6. Return the bracket and tighten the finished fixation device.

HOW TO INSTALL SILENT LOCKS ON A VAZ 2114?

Installing silent locks on a VAZ 2114 will not take much time, and anyone can do it with their own hands. You will need a powerful, preferably impact, screwdriver and a set of new silent locks.

1. The locking mechanism is more accessible when the door is open. It needs to be fixed somehow so that it doesn’t swing on its hinges.
2. You need to unscrew the bolts holding the lock one at a time, and when you release the second bolt, you need to hold the lock so that it does not fall down under the casing. Otherwise you will have to remove it too.
3. First, unscrew and remove the lower bolt, and then the upper one.

Removing the rear trim

There is no point in repeating the main points; they are almost identical.

The handle is also disassembled and the plug and the upper locking “latch” are removed. But there are no shelves and speakers here.

There is also no power window, that is, there is no wiring that needs to be disconnected. But here there is an ordinary window handle, as people call it - “oars” or a “muscle power” drive. In order to disassemble it, you need to bend it slightly towards yourself with a screwdriver - pull out the lower locking ring. After which the handle will simply come off on its own.

HOW TO MAKE SILENT LOCKS YOURSELF

But some craftsmen suggest making silent locks on the VAZ 2114 with your own hands. You have removed the lock from the door.

• In its upper part, where the pusher is, there is a thin plate that acts as a plug. This plate must be removed, or rather, broken, otherwise it will not open. Under it there are two springs, which push the locking mechanism. One spring, which is thinner, can be removed completely, and the second one can be placed in its place. Lubricate the lock and you can bolt it to where it stood. The effect of removing the spring is no worse than that of new, silent ones.
• There is another way. To implement it, you will need to buy 40-50 centimeters of heat shrink tubing. Of those clamps that you want to improve, you need to unscrew the fingers. Cut the tube so that the threads do not overlap. The cut pieces of the tube must be heated over an open fire using a lighter or candle. The heat will cause the tube to expand, so carefully but quickly slide it onto the retainer pin. Wait until the tube cools down and fits tightly around your finger. Warm up another tube and also put it on your finger. Trim any rough edges, make sure the tube does not overlap the threads, and the upgraded part can be inserted into the retainer.

But a thicker finger can create a problem with closing. This can also be easily fixed. It is necessary to loosen the fastening of the latch on the body, and the latch itself should be slightly moved so that the door closes easily. The locks on the VAZ 2114 are adjusted in the direction up and down and left and right. By moving the lock, you can adjust the doors and thus achieve perfect closing.

In the same way, you can make silent, soundproofing bolts that secure the lock to the door. But for bolts, a single-layer tube will be sufficient.

Try both methods described above to reduce noise. The locks will work much quieter and softer, and the neighbors will stop looking askance at you.

Sheathing process

After removing the old material, you can begin to install the new one.

The metal surface must be cleaned of traces of corrosion. Carefully remove any debris that has accumulated inside and repair any damage found. Since the upholstery has been removed, nothing prevents you from carrying out preventive maintenance along the way.

To improve sound insulation, foil foam rubber is installed inside with glue. This, among other things, will ensure better heat retention in winter.

Using a pattern, which is easy to download on the Internet, or, at worst, old sheathing, new elements are cut out from previously selected material. In the latter case, it is important not to forget to leave a few centimeters of margin around the perimeter in order to be able to tuck it inside.

A hole is cut in the workpiece for the handle. It should be slightly less than necessary. This way, when it's put in place, it will pull some of the material in and the edges will be hidden from view.

Installation of silent locks in 20 minutes

In modern cars, various additional devices are being developed to expand the range of action of the locking mechanisms. Such as central locking, which allows you to simultaneously open and close all locking devices when you turn the key in the driver's lock cylinder, and close all doors by pressing a button inside the cabin. Or so-called “child locks”, when a child cannot open the car from the inside. On the Russian market, such new products include silent door locks for the Samara and Samara 2 families, which include the VAZ 2114.

Reasons for uneven and unequal gaps

It is important to correctly understand the reason for the uneven arrangement of panels and the gaps between them.

It is advisable to make sure that all structural elements of the body on which the panels are actually attached have the correct geometric parameters. If there are displacements and distortions, then it will not be possible to achieve even and symmetrical gaps, with the exception of minimal changes that can be compensated by adjusting the fastenings of the body panels. For example, if the engine compartment strip, on which the upper part of the radiator and the hood lock are attached, is displaced, then the gaps between the hood and the front fenders will be uneven and unequal.

It is necessary to make diagonal measurements of symmetrical points and, if necessary, eliminate the displacement by pulling in the desired direction.

Simpler reasons could be worn door hinges and sagging, missing one or more mounting bolts, misaligned locks, or simply an incorrectly installed body panel.

Installation of silent locks on VAZ 2114

As standard, basic VAZ 2114 models are equipped with conventional locking devices, factory marked 2108-6105012/13 for the front doors.

Silent locks VAZ 2114

When they talk about a VAZ door lock as a single whole, they are making a serious mistake. In fact, it consists of several independent, structurally speaking, parts, each of which has its own functional purpose:

• Internal door lock VAZ 2114. This is the main control mechanism.

— A cylinder is inserted into it, which is an element of the locking device, which has individual characteristics corresponding to the unlocking key of the car owner.

— It is controlled by pressing a button on the car door, locking or opening the lock through a mechanical rod.

— Mechanical opening rods are attached to it using an internal or external handle, and it is also possible to activate the central locking with a gear motor when installing an alarm system.

“He uses a special finger to control the external locking device.

• External door lock for VAZ 2114. According to catalogs, it is listed as a door lock latch. Essentially, it is the actuator of the door locking mechanism, which, based on a mechanical signal, closes or opens the latch.
• VAZ 2114 lock retainer. It is attached to the car body and holds the latch of the external locking device when it is closed.

Operating principle

First of all, it is necessary to make a reservation. The car door closer is not an addition to the standard door locking system.

It only helps to “pull” it as tightly as possible to the body. In this sense, such a unit is similar to ordinary door mechanisms that can be found on the stairs of residential buildings or in offices. But the design of a universal car door closer differs significantly from devices installed on indoor entrance doors.

Thanks to the electronic sensor that the car door closer is equipped with, it is activated when the tongue of the lock touches the first loop of the locking device. Next, the electronic control unit reacts, which activates a specially fixed cable that attracts the door to the car body.

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.

1. Unscrew the pins from the fasteners that need to be upgraded.
2. Cut the tube to the required size so that the thread remains free for tightening.
3. Place the pipe on your finger and heat it with a hairdryer or lighter.
4. Allow the tube to cool and settle on your finger, then put another tube on the already installed one, repeating the heating procedure.
5. After the tube settles, trim the uneven ends.
6. 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.

Silent locks are a useful thing that save car owners nerves and increase the service life of door fasteners. However, in order for them to work well and for a long time, they need to be looked after and constantly monitored for the correct door adjustments.

How to Adjust the Trunk Lid of a VAZ 2109

In some cases (for example, if you want to make adjustments or in case of damage due to an accident), 14th house owners are faced with the need to replace the trunk lid (door). In today's article we will talk about how to remove the trunk lid of a VAZ 2114, what is needed for this, and also how to adjust it correctly after installation.

Basic faults

The main trunk problems that a VAZ car owner may encounter include:

• Inability to close the trunk. The reason for this is often misalignment of the guides or blocking of the platform;
• Inability to lock trunk. The reason for this, as a rule, is the explosion of the paired part of the lock, made of silumin;
• Appearance of cracks. This can occur either due to misalignment of the fasteners or due to damage to the door frame;
• The appearance of squeaks when opening / closing. Most often occurs due to wear of the seal.
