Euro handles for VAZ 2114 - what they are, how to install them, photos

Tuning is a common phenomenon among modern motorists. But if some fully fit into the design of the engine, chassis and other units that affect the speed and power of the car, then others prefer external tuning. The installation of Euro handles on the VAZ 2114 is a prime example of this.

What are Euro pens?

It is impossible to say for sure why they are called Euro pens. Apparently, this somehow relates to European cars, Western auto production. Let's be honest, the factory door handles on the “fourteenth” are far from being an example of automotive design art.

Euro handles are a set of door handles that significantly transform the appearance of the car and allow you to open and close doors more comfortably. They have a comfortable design and are pleasant to hold with your hands. Plus, the quality of individual handle models significantly exceeds even VAZ factory elements for opening front and rear doors.

The second stage is assembly!

1. Before installing the Euro handle in the VAZ 2115 door, you need to remove the lock along with the cylinder from the old handle. To do this, remove the rod that is attached to the cylinder, then carefully remove the retaining ring of the cylinder along with the spring. We install the key in the keyhole and pull it towards ourselves along with the cylinder.
2. We clean and lubricate the mechanism, as well as all rods and connections, after which we install the rubber gasket that comes with the Euro handle and begin assembly.

1. Before final assembly, we check how the handle and lock work, making sure that everything is assembled correctly and works as it should.
2. We attach the handle to the bolts and assemble everything in the reverse order.

As you can see, installing Euro handles on a “tag” is a fairly simple task that any “home” craftsman can do. By installing Euro handles “Lynx” on a VAZ 2115, they can improve the appearance of the car and also make opening doors more pleasant.

Handles "Lynx"

Despite the fairly extensive range of Euro handles suitable for the VAZ 2114, domestic owners of the “fourteenth” most prefer to use the “Lynx” kits. These are high-quality, reliable products with excellent design, smooth lines, streamlining, and excellent grip comfort.

Plus, of course, quality plays a big role in the popularity of accessories. Here it is not possible to make any claims to the Lynx Euro handles for the VAZ 2114 car.

Varieties

The Lynx Euro pens have a factory designation, which determines the differences between the sets.

1. IN 1. This designation indicates that the package contains four handles - two rear and two front. In this case, the front larvae do not have.
2. AT 2. There are also four handles, a pair for the rear and front doors. Only here the larvae are present.

Which one should I choose? The question is purely individual. On the one hand, B1 have a solid, smooth structure that is not spoiled by key holes. For external tuning they are simply perfect.

The second option is preferable for those who value quality, visual appeal, but at the same time reliability. After all, the presence of a cylinder will give you the opportunity to open the car with a key if problems arise with the alarm or key fob.

Quality checking

Whether it be Lynx or European pens from another manufacturer, you definitely need to make sure of the quality of the products offered to you. There are some useful tips for this.

1. Buy directly from good stores rather than ordering online. Today it is important to order many spare parts online. But the problem is that you won't be able to see or touch them until delivery. If we are talking about online ordering, check the reliability of this online store, read reviews about it, study the nuances of delivery and payment. The best option is to pay the courier on the spot. This way you can first look at the handles, and only then, if everything is good, pay for the order. Well, when you are in a regular store, there will be nothing difficult in studying spare parts in detail.
2. Package. Surprisingly, it is important to pay attention to the packaging. Factory products must have barcodes, certificate marks, full instructions, a warranty, and so on.
3. Content. If each pen is packaged in a separate bag, this indicates a responsible approach by the manufacturer. After all, the transportation process takes a lot of time, and you yourself know the quality of our roads. Constant shaking leads to friction between parts, which leads to scratches and damage. Separate packaging will prevent this from happening.
4. Instructions. Good manufacturers provide detailed instructions for installing them along with Euro handles. There is nothing complicated about this, but the very fact of the presence of this instruction already speaks volumes.
5. Quality. Alas, it cannot always be determined visually. Nowadays low-grade materials are so skillfully disguised that only laboratory tests can help you in some cases. As for European pens specifically, the best guarantee of quality is purchasing products from a trusted manufacturer. Such as Lynx, for example.
