Door locks are of great importance in the design of a car. When closed, they act as a car security system. During operation, the doors are kept from opening spontaneously, which can lead to a collision between the opened door and passing traffic or an overtaking car, and in the worst situation, to the passenger falling out of the cabin. 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.
Installing central locking
Continuing to modernize and improve your “swallow”, you may be interested in installing a central lock on the VAZ 2110. There is no need to argue about the advantages of such an option. Poking around with a key in a rusty, frozen lock is not a pleasant pleasure. And we must not forget about protection against theft. Therefore, we purchase the treasured box, in which we will find:
- 4 engines, one of which is installed on the driver's door;
- Control block;
- Wires, fuses and strips.
Central locking kit
Next, we collect the necessary tools: screwdrivers, drill, electrical tape, etc.
We remove all the elements that interfere with us, such as trim and panels, and mainly decide where we will install the control unit. The driver's door, its lower left corner, is rightfully considered the best place. This choice of location will allow you to subsequently install window lifters or other systems without any problems.
To install the engines, we need special holes in the door. If there are none, then we make them using a drill. And we move on to installing the engines.
Central locking installation process
Let’s not forget that each of them has 2 outputs. And only one - 4. It is located on the driver's door. After successful installation, you need to stretch the wiring. It should not be carried out where it may be exposed to moisture or other influences. It is advisable to protect the wiring, for example, with a corrugated tube.
After the installation of the VAZ 2110 central locking is completed, check the entire system. Now the central locking is controlled using the key fob that was included in the kit. If your version did not have it, then control occurs when you turn the driver's door key. In the future, if you wish, you can install a special control button on the dashboard.
We purchase the necessary materials
To ensure that the doors of your car no longer close with a roar and grinding noise, we will install silent locks on it. To do this, we purchase the necessary kit in the amount of two pieces. Each box has two locks.
Well, the second set that we need is a central locking kit. The universal kit traditionally includes four motors, a control unit, all the necessary wires and several strips.
After purchasing the main components of the upcoming work, we prepare the necessary tools:
- Drill and various drills;
- Hammer;
- Screwdrivers, Phillips and hexagonal, screwdriver;
- Additional wires;
- Protective tubes for wiring;
- Well, and some other little things: a knife, glue, alcohol, etc.
We install silent locks
The first stage of the work is the installation of new and dismantling of old locks. To ensure that you do not have to remove the door trim, this process must be performed carefully and carefully.
To begin, unscrew the bolts one at a time so as not to drop the internal lock. In the same way, screw on the new silent ones in reverse order.
The second point is to replace the old bolt that holds your lock with a new one.
We apply this scheme to all remaining doors. Having completed the installation, we perform a check. If any problems arise, for example, the door does not close well, then try to push the lock deeper. Although, by choosing the option of silent locks without a “flag”, such situations should not arise.
Door adjustment VAZ-2109AutoRemka – Car repair
On a VAZ-2109 car, and not only on this model, one of the necessary procedures is door adjustment. Each car owner should be able to cope with this process independently, without resorting to the services of a car service. Incorrect closing and opening of car doors may be due to the fact that the car was involved in an accident. In some cases, after serious accidents, one adjustment is not enough. When it is necessary to replace faulty doors, a competent approach is very important, since new body elements do not always “fit” without problems - they need to be adjusted.
Tools
In order to adjust the fit of the doors in the VAZ-2109 you will need only 2 tools - a hammer and a screwdriver.
Front doors
You can set them in the correct position by changing the location of the latch. You can do this in the following way:
- Before you begin making adjustments, you should note the original location of the clamp. This is best done with a marker.
- If the closing movement of the door is too tight, you need to loosen the clamp, move it a few millimeters outward and then tighten the fastening bolts.
- In case of a loose fit, the latch, on the contrary, should be “recessed” a little.
- When the door moves vertically, depending on whether it sags or is above the level, we adjust the lock in accordance with the problem. That is, if the door has sagged, we pull the latch up, and if there is a gap at the threshold, we move the latch a little up.
Tip: When performing work on adjusting the door, be careful that it does not sink or protrude, but is exactly level with the car body.
Rear doors
If the rear doors of the VAZ-2109 are loose, the problem can be solved as follows:
The hinges that hold the rear door of the car must be loosened and then, with it in the correct position, the door fasteners must be tightened.
Recommendation: In order to accurately determine how much the rear door hinge has shifted during the adjustment process, before starting work, just as in the case of adjusting the front doors, outline the brackets along the contour with a marker.
You can check how much the door has sagged like this: open the car door slightly and apply a gradually increasing load on it from 0 to 100 kg and back.
Adjusting the hood position
In order to adjust the hood cover, you must perform the following steps:
- Loosen the bolts that secure the iron roof to the hinges.
- Place the hood in the desired position (it is better to do this with three people).
- Tighten the hinges using the required wrench head.
If closing the lid does not go well, you need to unscrew the pin, move it to the desired position, fix it with a key and make sure it works correctly
Luggage compartment of VAZ-2109
To solve the problem with closing the fifth door of the Nine, you will have to adjust the lock. You can do it this way:
- Using a marker, outline the boundaries of the original location of the castle as accurately as possible.
- Move the latch itself to the desired position.
- Using a key of the required size, tighten the bolts securing the lock and check the functionality of the lock. If it works well, the bolts can be tightened all the way.
Installation of "quiet" locks
Unfortunately, the locks installed by the manufacturer produce not very pleasant metallic sounds during the operation of the car. If you don’t like such a loud mechanism, it can be replaced with a silent one. Today you can purchase “quiet” locks at any auto store or market. The choice of these new generation mechanisms is truly very wide - there are silent locks of domestic and foreign production. We recommend choosing Russian-made locks.
The replacement process is as follows:
- Take with you a good impact screwdriver, maybe even a Soviet-era one (you'll have to be patient and strong, since the bolts are screwed in very tightly).
- After removing one bolt, insert a pin or spoke into the hole to prevent the inside of the lock from falling.
- The old lock must be removed and a new, silent mechanism purchased in advance installed in its place.
- After tightening the bolts a little, you should make sure that everything works perfectly.
- Using the same power screwdriver, tighten the mounting bolts as tightly as possible.
Thus, by following the above steps, you can save money and gain invaluable experience in fixing your car. Savings are no less important, because if you do the work yourself, the only cost will be the purchase of new components.

Door opening method
If the VAZ-2109 door does not open from any side, then the cause of the breakdown is difficult to determine, since there is absolutely no access to the lock mechanism.
A somewhat simplified version of the breakdown occurs when the door does not slam shut completely and gets stuck in that position. Then it is possible to reach the latch from the outside with a sharp object.
To open a jammed door, you must first perform the following steps:
- When the sash is not completely slammed, try to get to the locking device using a steel flat ruler. It may be possible to open it in a similar way to conventional door locks with a latch.
- If the door is completely closed, try to move it to the slightly open position to gain access to the lock. To do this, try pressing the inside and outside handles together or alternately, while simultaneously pushing the door from the inside.
- Try opening the back door with a helper, who will press and release it to get it into position while you try to open the lock.
When simple means do not produce results, the door will have to be opened from inside the cabin, which will require removing its trim.
In practice, this is not easy to do, because the casing is pressed by the sash and it is difficult to pull it out without damage. But there is still no other way out: it is better to damage the inner panel than to mutilate the door itself.
To dismantle the decorative panel, you need to unscrew the armrest handle with a screwdriver, and then the storage shelf located at the bottom of the door card. Then the button that secures the lock from above is unscrewed and removed. Lastly, the window lifter handle and the opening handle frame are removed. Now you need to carefully separate the lining from the body using a pair of flathead screwdrivers and another suitable tool. You may be able to remove the trim without visible damage.
When the decorative panel is removed, access to the lock mechanism from the inside opens, although getting to it is inconvenient. Immediately check whether the rod running from the handle to the lock has fallen off. This is a fairly common malfunction that can be fixed with little effort. Put the rod in place and open the door.
If there are no visible reasons for the breakdown, simply try to open the door from the inside by working on the mechanism with various tools. If necessary, enlist the services of an assistant who will press or pull the door from the outside. Experience shows that such procedures for opening jammed doors can take a lot of time, so you will have to be patient.
Durability of silent locks
Operating experience of these mechanisms shows that their service life without any special maintenance is at least seven years.
With careful use of the car, the locks can last until the end of the life of driving this car. Their design features allow them to be used for a long period of time. The lock parts do not break over time, and their wear is completely insignificant. In standard locks, there is constant mechanical contact between the metal parts of the system. In silent mechanisms, the impact is carried out between nodes coated with high-strength plastic, which significantly reduces wear. Also an important factor is the strength of physical contact between the parts of the constipation. Silent locks-2107 have much less impact between nodes than in standard mechanisms. By installing such locks on your car, you can forget about the constant problems associated with closing the doors.
Installation of new mechanisms
You can install a silent lock on a VAZ-2107 in the reverse order of the disassembly process with some changes. The new mechanism is connected to the drive system in the same way, with the exception of one part. The rod pusher is added to the rod of the outer door opening handle. Before installing it, the rod itself is disconnected, this part is attached to it, then everything is mounted in place. The handle is placed in its original position and secured with two nuts. Having snapped all the rods of its drive onto the new lock, install the mechanism in its place. Then it is fixed with bolts. The window lifter guide is also screwed on.
Design of silent locks
Silent locks, unlike factory locks installed on VAZ 2105, 2106, 2107, have a completely different operating principle. They work on the latch principle, which is how locks on modern foreign-made car models are designed. The design of this lock allows it to close the door quietly and with minimal effort; it is quite easy to press the door with your hand.
Single door installation kit. Consists of two parts that are installed on the door and a receiving bolt
The castle consists of two parts. During installation, the inner part installed in the door is connected to the outer part with bolts, forming a single mechanism. The lock control rods from the door handles, locking buttons, and lock cylinders are connected to the inside of the lock. The outer part is responsible for engagement with the lock retainer installed on the car body pillar.
Video: the result of installing silent locks on a VAZ 2106
An additional advantage of these locks over factory ones is provided by covering the outer part of the mechanism with a plastic shell. This allows the lock to operate absolutely silently, hence its name. The absence of rubbing metal surfaces does not require regular cleaning and lubrication of the lock, which has a positive effect on the service life; the owner does not need to worry about the reliability of the locks. The lock closes the door tightly and holds it well.
The lock is installed in place of the standard lock with minor modifications
Which lock to choose for installation
Factories and cooperatives have long been producing silent locks for various car models. Some automakers have even begun installing them on production vehicles. Thus, Volga cars, VAZ 2108/09, VAZ 2110–2112, VAZ 2113–2115, VAZ 2170 have already acquired silent locks. On the market you can choose a lock model suitable for your model with minimal modifications. Locks adapted for installation on VAZ 2105, 2106, 2107 are not produced by factories, so car enthusiasts, over time, have developed ways to install locks from other VAZ car models. Later, cooperatives began to produce sets of locks intended for installation on these VAZ models.
The cooperative kit includes adjusting plates, rods and bolts. The kit is installed on all 4 doors
Kits manufactured by cooperatives cannot boast of a guarantee of quality, however, the presence of all the parts necessary for installing locks undoubtedly attracts the buyer.
But if you consider that low-quality kits will still have to be modified during installation, then you should turn your attention to high-quality factory locks manufactured at factories in Dimitrovgrad, PTIMASH, FED and others. These locks will last longer and will probably not cause any inconvenience during operation.
Having spent time installing a factory lock, you will independently determine what additional elements are needed and will be preferable for your car, the lock will be installed with high quality and will last a long time
These locks will last longer and will certainly not cause any inconvenience during operation. Having spent time installing a factory lock, you will independently determine what additional elements are needed and will be preferable for your car; the lock will be installed with high quality and will last a long time.
On the VAZ 2105, 2106 and 2107 models you can install a lock from any VAZ model with silent locks. The most popular choice among car enthusiasts who decide to install a silent lock on a “classic” is the lock from the VAZ 2108 car.

Possible problems
Sometimes, after installing a new lock on a VAZ 2109, the door may not close. The reason is due to errors made during assembly. Most often, people forget to put on the lock rod. In this situation, the lock simply will not open. Remove the lock and install the rod in place.
The lock may also need to be adjusted. This is done using a latch. It is loosened and the lock is moved in the desired direction, achieving optimal performance. Sometimes you have to lengthen or shorten the pull. Your task is to choose its length most optimally.
. If all stages of the work are carried out carefully and correctly, then you will not experience any difficulties. Replacing the door lock cylinder on a VAZ 2109 in this case will happen quite quickly. Once you have done this work, you will be able to repeat it much faster. The best option is to install new parts. Otherwise, you will soon have to disassemble the door again.
How to replace a lock
The design of the locks on the front and rear doors of the car is fundamentally the same, the difference lies in the installation of the lock switch cylinders on the external handles on the front doors. Instructions on how to replace the front door lock are presented below:
- The lower seal is pressed out, and three spring clips are removed from above to secure the protective film and one from below.
- The protective film is removed from the door.
- Inside the lock, the lock switch and external handle rods are disconnected.
Disconnection points for switch rods
Tip: During assembly, sealant was applied to the threads of the screws, so when twisting, you need to use an impact screwdriver.
- The outside door lock is removed.
- Unscrew the two screws securing the internal handle of the device.
- The handle is pushed inside the door.
- The internal lock and handle are pulled out of the doors, as shown in the photo.
The handle and lock are removed from the door
- The rubber holder is removed from the end of the rod.
- The handle is removed from the rod. In this case, it needs to be cranked.
- The locking bracket is detached from the lever pin.
- The rod of the internal handle is disconnected from the internal lock lever.
- The plastic holder is rotated and the end of the rod is removed from the lever to lock the device.
- Unscrew the two nuts securing the outer handle of the lock.
- The handle is removable.
- The plastic rod end is removed from the door lock cylinder and removed.
- The locking spring is removed. To do this, its ends are removed from the slots on the lock handle and cylinder.
Removing the retaining spring
- A key is inserted into the lock cylinder and the part is removed from the handle.
- Repairs and replacement of faulty elements are carried out, or a new lock is installed.
- Assembly of the unit occurs in the reverse order.
- The lock can be adjusted if necessary. To do this, loosen the screws and move the latch:
- outward, when the door is tightly closed;
- inward, if the door is not closed tightly;
- down if the door is raised when closing.
After adjusting the device, tighten the screws.
Tip: If you need to remove the retainer, you must first trace its outline on the body pillar. This will help maintain the door lock adjustment during installation.
How the door locks are removed on a VAZ 2109 car can be clearly seen in the video.
How to install a silent lock on the door of a VAZ 2109 car
Very often you can hear an unpleasant metallic clang when closing the doors of a VAZ 2109, especially in older models. This is due to the fact that the lock is attached to the outside of the door and when closing it comes into contact with the metal parts of the body and creates a characteristic sound. Manufacturers are now producing silent locks. They are sold in pairs, left and right, their price is reasonable. If the door lock on a VAZ 2109 car is jammed, it is better to immediately replace it with a silent one. To do this you need:
Unscrew the bolts holding the old lock on the car door.
Unscrewing the fixing bolts of the old lock
- The pin is screwed into place of the unscrewed bolt, otherwise the inside of the lock may fall inside the door.
- The old lock is removed and a silent one is installed.
- The bolts are tightened with maximum force. Tighten using an impact screwdriver.
- You can also install locking pins or silent bolts.
Installation of silent bolts
The installation operation ends with adjusting the locks. In this case, the position of the latch changes due to large holes in the rack. For this:
- The contours of the latch are outlined on the stand.
- When opening the doors tightly, you need to loosen the screws holding the latch, it moves outward and the screws are tightened.
- If the door does not close tightly, the latch must be moved inward.
- If the door lowers when closing, the latch must be raised and lowered when the door is raised.
Tip: In order not to disturb the adjustment of the clamp, you need to install a spacer made of waterproof sandpaper under it. Using the same spacers under the clamp, you can adjust the distance between the clamp and the stand. This is necessary so that the locking pin does not touch the cover of the external lock.
Installing a silent lock guarantees the car owner the absence of ringing and clanging.
Also check out
It is important to take your time so that the hole for the screw is drilled accurately.
- Using an “8.5” drill, drill the front wall of the rack, and use a tap to divide the threads into “10” (step “1”). In this case, the removed screw will prevent the door from closing. This can be eliminated by deepening the hole using a socket and hammer.
- Make a hole with a diameter of 10.5-11 millimeters in the front rack, 8.5-9 millimeters in the second, cut a thread, screw the screw into the rack.
- Try closing the door. It may need adjustment.
- Then you can install the lock drives and connect the handles.
First you need to dismantle the external handle and make a plate that acts as a lever (as in the photo). It should almost touch the windshield, but not rest against it. If you do something wrong, the mechanism will not work.
- After making the plate, you need to assemble the handle and install it in place.
- Shorten the side handle drive rod from the used lock to the required length. Bend the tip of one side at an angle of 90 degrees, and make the other in the shape of a ring (as shown in the photo). Put everything back in place and check.
How to check the quality of Euro handles on a VAZ 2114
Before purchasing any euro handles, you need to make sure of the quality of their performance; after all, they must provide uninterrupted access to the car under any conditions. It will be a shame not to get into the car in the cold because of low-quality handles, for which you also paid extra.
In order to be confident in the quality of the purchased components for your car, you need to:
- Buy spare parts in good, trusted stores and do not pay for the product before you have looked at it. For example, in your city you may not have exactly the Euro pens you wanted or your color. You will have to order them online, then it is better to look at the reviews of those who have already bought there or ask for delivery by courier to check everything before making payment.
- Look at the packaging; the manufacturer will not pack a quality product in poor packaging. In addition, it must have markings, certificate marks, and so on. The kit must include detailed, complete instructions and a warranty card.
- Appearance is also very important; various defects indicate the irresponsible approach of the manufacturer, if he allows this in the appearance of his product, what can be said about the reliability that he has built into the handle mechanism.

Installing a central lock on a VAZ 2107 with your own hands
Another legendary representative of the Russian automobile industry is the VAZ 2107. Despite the fact that this model went on sale back in 1982, it was removed from the assembly line only a couple of years ago.
Most car enthusiasts who own this vehicle still drive a model of earlier releases. Well, in this regard, a number of questions arise that need to be resolved.
For example, installing a central lock on a VAZ 2107 will make operating your car much more pleasant and easier.
VAZ 2107
There are many ways to solve the problem. You can just come to the service center and the professionals will do everything for you. It is worth noting that in this case much more money will be spent than if you do it yourself.
Having even the slightest idea of how this mechanism works, you can handle it on your own. Familiarize yourself with the materials in advance; for example, you can find a sufficient amount of information on the Internet. Read, watch how the central locking system is installed on a VAZ 2107, video materials. Prepare the necessary tools and get to work.
Installing central locking
Naturally, before we get down to business, we purchase the central locking kit we need. The most important things in such a kit are four motors and a control unit. The box should also contain wires, a key fob, various fuses and strips.
Central locking equipment
The easiest way to control the central locking is a special button on the dashboard. However, its installation and connection will take time. There is also a way to close and open the locks on a VAZ 2107 by pressing a button on the key fob. Well, the most inconvenient thing is turning the key in the driver's door.
Having decided which option you prefer, we assemble the necessary tool:
- Drill;
- Screwdrivers;
- Corrugation;
- Hammer;
- Knife;
- Spanners.
Working with wiring
The most important and important point of installation is the wiring. All wires must be the length you need; they must be laid in places protected from external influences, for example, water. It is also recommended to use corrugated tubes to protect the wires from chafing.
Important! Before you begin, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery!
Installing a central lock on a VAZ 2107 with your own hands begins with determining the installation location of the control unit. Consider the option of placing the controller between the shelf and the glove compartment.
Next, we lay out the wires along their lengths and decide which of them will go to the rear doors. We will pull them through the lower curb, under the plastic protective sill covers. For the front doors, we will pull the wiring under the dashboard.
We lay a +12V wire from the battery. It will power the entire device.
Wiring for central locking
Installation of motors
In order to install the motors we need, we will have to drill holes in each door. We recommend that you install VAZ 2107 locks, starting with the rear doors.
To get started, remove all unnecessary elements: plastic lining and casing. Take a drill and make a hole in the door. Through it we will subsequently pull the wiring from the stand to the door. Drill a second hole in the rack. Now let's start drawing the wires. Don't forget to use corrugation.
Rear door wiring
Now you can install the engine. When installing, do not forget to check that it does not interfere with the operation of the glass. It's a small matter. We fasten the motor rod and the lock lock rod to each other using a bar. It should be included with the central locking system. Now, actually, it's ready. Let's move on to the front doors.
Installing motors on the front doors will not take much time. In this case, we place them in the left and, accordingly, the lower right corners of the doors. We install according to the example of the rear doors and perform a test.
Installing engines on the front doors
Checking work
Before you rejoice at the completion of the work, you need to connect the control unit to the block with wires. Then return the battery terminal to its place. If the VAZ 2107 locks worked correctly, then everything is connected correctly. Congratulations. If any problems arise, perhaps somewhere during the connection the pin was switched to + or -.
There is no limit to perfection, and in the future you can connect the trunk lock to the central locking, install an alarm or power windows.
Almost all your desires to modernize your favorite car can be brought to life.
