Door lock VAZ 2107

Often, owners of VAZ products have to remind their passengers that the door can only be closed if they slam it quite hard. And, unfortunately, both the front door and the back door close this way. It is difficult to imagine a VAZ-2107 car owner, or any other model, who would not want to correct such a defect. In this article we will show you how to find a way out of such a predicament, using silent car locks that are installed on more modern models, for example, on the VAZ-2114 or VAZ-2115. And since installing silent locks on a VAZ-2107 does not require special skills, every car owner can easily cope with this task if he performs the work step by step.

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 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.

Causes of malfunctions

There are several types of malfunctions that prevent the doors of a VAZ-2109 from opening from the outside or from both sides:

The latter malfunction sometimes occurs due to the fault of the car owner himself, who has decided to change or repair the door lock. Having put it in place and not fully tightened the screws, the owner of the VAZ-2109 accidentally slams the door, after which it will not be possible to open it with the handle.

Troubleshooting

If a key or silumin rod breaks, you should not immediately buy a new block with a handle. On sale you can find special repair kits for VAZ 2108-099 door handles, which contain these parts in 2 copies.

This way you will save money and easily change the key yourself by removing the handle using the following sequence of actions:

Remove the decorative panel.
Disconnect the rod connecting it to the locking device from the handle mechanism.
With the glass fully up, unscrew the 2 fastenings of the handle to the door card.
Remove the handle, replace the parts and put it back.

If the rod is disconnected, then you need to remove the inner lining and put it in place, as described above. Using the moment when the facing panel is removed, check what caused the disconnection of this rod so that history does not repeat itself when the door is slammed.

Malfunctions of the locking mechanism can only be eliminated by removing it. In a situation where the device has a lot of wear, as happens on the driver and front passenger doors, it is recommended to replace the lock with a new one.

After installing it in place, adjustment will be required to ensure precise alignment of the locking parts. To adjust, the lock will have to be fixed in different positions, achieving the optimal one.

When adjustment is needed

Certain symptoms will indicate that door adjustment 2107 is needed:

The door may sag, sag, or move to the side.
The appearance of serious gaps along the entire perimeter of the body part.
Difficulty closing. This action does not occur with a dull sound, but with a loud feedback.
If the lock does not close well, then the reason is not necessarily the mechanism of this device. Incorrect operation of the closing device is sometimes caused by incorrect door position.
Displacement of the lock and latch.
Raising or lowering the structure when closing.
Poor locking in the closed position due to the latch inside the handle.
Random door opening while driving.

To visually determine the need for adjustment, you can inspect the car; if there is a problem, it will stick out a little. In order not to rely only on your eye, you can take measurements; they should be the same on both sides.

Adjusting doors VAZ 2107

“Seven” is a luxury version of the classic line, which fully possesses all the advantages and features of this model. One of the bottlenecks of the VAZ 2107 is incorrectly installed doors. For this reason, they do not close well, and a careful inspection often reveals uneven gaps. Qualified door adjustment will require some skill and time.

The body of the VAZ 2107 family sedan has four openings designed for boarding and disembarking the driver and passengers. They are closed by swing doors mounted on two steel hinges each. This unit is secured to the stand with two large-diameter countersunk Phillips-head screws. It is possible to correctly adjust the installation of the element in the plane of the body by releasing the fasteners.

Vehicle inspection and preparation for work

Incorrect position of the front door, as well as the rear door, can cause it to not be locked correctly. The adjustment begins with a thorough inspection of the car, which is performed in the following order:

The door closes with a slight push; if the lock does not work completely, this indicates that the receiving part is in an incorrect position.
Using a regular ruler, we measure the gaps between body parts; in opposite parts they should be the same.
We stand at some distance along the path of the VAZ 2107 car and look along the side surface. From this angle, the failure of the part relative to other parts or, on the contrary, its bulging, is clearly visible.

Door adjustment involves correcting identified deficiencies by slightly shifting the part in the hinges and aligning the lock and its receiving plate. To perform this operation, you will need an impact and regular Phillips screwdriver, a hammer and a “10” open-end wrench.

The procedure for installing doors in the desired position

On a VAZ 2107 car, each of the door hinges is fixed to the pillar with two screws; they must be loosened to move the part. Its position can be accurately adjusted only by releasing the fasteners and with constant monitoring from the outside. The operating procedure is as follows:

We set the screwdriver to unscrew and with a sharp blow loosen the door fastening.
Slightly tilt or lift the knot and tighten it in this position.
We close the door and look from the side and check its position.

We perform the action several times until we obtain a result that suits the owner of the VAZ 2107 car.

Replacing a contact group

To replace the VAZ 2106 contact group, perform the following steps:

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Insert the key into the lock in the zero position.
Unscrew the fastening screws of the upper and lower steering casing and remove them.
Disconnect the wires from the contact group. Take a few photos first so you don’t make a mistake when connecting. If this is not possible, use the diagram below.

Insert a small slotted screwdriver into the groove and pry off the torsion ring that holds the group of contacts.

Remove the ring and remove the contact group from the housing. Install the group of contacts and secure it in the seat with a torsion ring. Connect the wires according to the diagram, attach the terminal and check the operation of the lock. Mount under the steering covers.

Refinement of the base and mechanisms

It is not enough to replace the larva; you need to make sure that the core is working. To do this, you should set up the mechanism before the door structure is assembled. Recommendations:

A key is inserted to check the operation of the larva. The lock opens and closes several times. If movement is difficult, the pins may need to be lubricated or adjusted.
Special spacers are fixed, which prevent the teeth from deforming or moving to the side.
Sometimes it is necessary to change the spring, which hinders the operation of the system.

To adjust the new pattern, the front of the lock is stripped or ground. This work will allow you to repair the damaged mechanism if there was an attempt to break into it. You should first make sure that the master key has not damaged the insides.

Instructions for adjusting doors and locks on a VAZ 2107 car

After long-term use of vehicles, adjustment of the doors of the VAZ 2107 is inevitable. The door device jams due to any little thing, and if timely repairs are not carried out, you will have to replace the entire product. The price of body parts is high, so every driver strives to learn the door adjustment process in order to save on car maintenance.

VAZ 2107 door problems

The loose state of the door structure is the main reason for the malfunction of the mechanism. Adjusting the door locks of the VAZ 2107 will correct a lot of problems, but before that, the cause and essence of the breakdown is clarified. Let's list the main problems that motorists face:

incorrect position of the loops;
formation of large gaps;
malfunction of the door handle or lock;
The backlash is set incorrectly.

After an accident, deformation of the body almost always occurs, even in a minor accident. If the door is moving, then adjusting the hinges will not help.

When adjustment is needed

Certain symptoms will indicate that door adjustment 2107 is needed:

The door may sag, sag, or move to the side.
The appearance of serious gaps along the entire perimeter of the body part.
Difficulty closing. This action does not occur with a dull sound, but with a loud feedback.
If the lock does not close well, then the reason is not necessarily the mechanism of this device. Incorrect operation of the closing device is sometimes caused by incorrect door position.
Displacement of the lock and latch.
Raising or lowering the structure when closing.
Poor locking in the closed position due to the latch inside the handle.
Random door opening while driving.

What is needed for work

Understanding how to adjust the doors on a VAZ 21053, 2107 car is quite simple, since no special skills are required. You need to prepare in advance:

key to 10;
hammer;
silicone grease;
marker.

How to adjust

The driver's door requires the most attention. First, a thorough inspection of the vehicle is performed. It is necessary to close and open the structure several times, paying attention to:

loops;
lock;
handle.

Features of adjusting the gap, hinges and lock

You can configure the door in several ways:

Loosening screws and hinge fasteners using hammer blows.
Leveling the gap. While the hinges are loosened, the structure rises up and down to its optimal position. Then the fasteners are tightened.
Adjusting the lock. The key loosens the lock, you can move it up or down. Checks whether the actions were performed correctly. If the door closes with a loud click, then you need to move the latch outward a little more. If the closure occurs well, but the element is loose, go inside.

When the closing mechanism jams and the door sags a little, the hinges or bolts are tightened. If displacement has occurred, a slight tap with a hammer on the body part where the bracket is located will solve the problem.

External handles and solving problems with them

If there is no external damage, then you will have to disassemble the element. To work you will need a number 20 screwdriver. Step by step instructions:

The plug is removed. It is pryed off with the edge of a screwdriver. The screw is unscrewed. It is located at a depth of 6 cm

It is important to make no more than four turns clockwise. Carefully remove the handle, behind which the latch wire is pulled. The part is disconnected from the wiring. They are attached to each other by a plug.

After disassembly, the internal parts are cleaned and, if necessary, individual elements are replaced. Collection occurs in reverse order.

The main problems of VAZ 2107 doors

Adjusting the VAZ 2107 door locks may be necessary in several cases. The most common is a failure of the locking mechanism. The doors may jam or, conversely, the lock may not close. Door misalignment is also common. Even in the new sevens, this happened quite often, and already seen examples suffer from skewed doors without exception. Another thing is that the owners do not notice this for the time being.

A skewed door is dangerous because the lock at a certain moment may simply not work or unlock on a bad road. It will also not be news that tired 7 bodies can live their own lives and slowly lose rigidity, which affects the loss of doorway geometry. Since the door is more rigid, it is not going to adapt to the new geometry of the body and the only thing that can save the situation is adjusting the lock if the geometric changes in the opening have not yet reached critical values. But fortunately, this happens extremely rarely and to very inattentive owners.

General practical information about the structure of the larva

In cylindrical designs of the locking mechanism, the cylinder most often fails. The part cannot be repaired; the cylinders are replaced only in pairs, simultaneously for the left and right doors. For the work you will need a flat narrow screwdriver and metal wire. Scheme for replacing the VAZ 2106 door lock cylinder:

With the lock removed, remove the spring that releases the key in the cylinder by prying it with a screwdriver.
Use a thin wire to press out the fixing rod.
Remove the top ring, the cylinder is removed from the back of the lock.
Replace the part and configure it.

In addition to replacing the cylinders on the front doors, it is recommended to change the locking elements on all elements and in the trunk lock so that it can be opened with one key.

Door handles

Door handles (external and internal) of the VAZ 2107 are designed to unlock the door. Over time, these parts may fail, which means they need to be replaced.

External door handle

External door handles of the VAZ 2107 are left and right, which must be taken into account when purchasing and replacing. In addition, the part can be made of metal or plastic. A metal handle, although more expensive, is much more reliable, which is especially important in winter: you can apply pressure without fear of breaking it if it suddenly freezes.

Which ones can be supplied?

On the “seven”, in addition to the factory external door handles, you can install European handles. This procedure refers to car tuning, which allows you to change the appearance of the car, giving it an attractive and modern look. The essence of the process is to dismantle the standard handle and install a new part in its place, which fits without any modifications.

How to remove a door handle

To replace the external door handle, you will need to prepare the following set of tools:

socket wrench 8;
flat screwdriver.

The dismantling procedure consists of the following steps:

Raise the door glass all the way.

How to install a door handle

After removing the old handle, you can begin installing the new part:

Lubricate the rubbing areas with lubricant, for example, Litol-24.
We install all dismantled parts in the reverse order.

Interior door handle

In most cases, the internal door unlocking handle on a VAZ 2107 has to be removed when dismantling the lock or when replacing the handle itself if it breaks, which happens extremely rarely.

How to remove the handle

To remove the inner handle you will need a flathead and Phillips screwdriver. Dismantling is carried out in this way:

Remove the door trim.
Unscrew the 2 screws securing the handle.

How to install

After dismantling the old product, we begin installing the new part:

We put the rod back on the handle, for which there is a fixing rubber insert.
We fasten the handle and reassemble the dismantled elements in the reverse order.

How to remove the lock

The mechanical door lock on the VAZ 2110 has a complex design. If the driver does not have repair experience, it is recommended to replace the spare part with a new one. Before replacement, the element must be removed from the car. To do this, remove the casing. The process of dismantling the door card in stages:

Open the door, unscrew the three screws securing the bottom pocket.
Move the lower part back slightly, slide it down, and remove it from the grooves of the casing.
Using a thin screwdriver, pry up the cover on the closing handle and remove it.
Unscrew the two screws located under the cover.
Remove the handle by turning it slightly up and out of the hook with the door opening handle.
Unscrew the locking latch.
Use a screwdriver to unclip the plastic clips around the perimeter of the casing and remove it.
After removing the casing, it is necessary to begin dismantling the parts of the locking mechanism.
Disconnect the outer handle rod from the lock lever.
Pull the cylinder rod out from the lock lever.
Disconnect the inner handle rod by first removing it.
Unscrew the two screws that secure the lock and remove the locking mechanism.
Remove the internal lock. It must be removed together with the locking rod and the inner handle rod.
Remove the lock traction blocker from the lever, first removing the plastic retainer from it.
Using a screwdriver, pry it up and remove the locking bracket.
Disconnect the outer handle pull cable from the lever and remove the lock completely.

After repairing or replacing the lock, the door card is installed in the reverse order. Experts recommend purchasing a set of plastic clips in advance. For VAZ 2110, the price of one mount is from 3 rubles. The latch is a consumer product, molded from durable plastic, but often breaks during installation.

Silent locks and their installation

Silent locks for "nine"

Adjusting the doors also means upgrading the locks, which do not make a very pleasant sound. It's not even a sound, but a loud, unpleasant metallic clang. It turns out that it's all about the design of the door locks. So, on the “Nine” and other cars of the AvtoVAZ family of previous years, the lock is fixed on the outside of the door. As a result, all parts that come into contact with the lock are bare metal, which makes such unpleasant sounds.

To eliminate this mistake of manufacturers and modernize the doors, you need to purchase domestically produced silent locks.

Let's get started:

We arm ourselves with an impact screwdriver, since a regular one will definitely not be able to remove the bolts, which are tightened very powerfully. You'll have to tinker, but the result is worth it;
In place of the unscrewed bolt (one for now), you need to insert a pin. This is done so that the inside of the lock does not fall inside the door;
We remove the old lock and install a new silent one in its place. The bolts will need to be tightened with maximum force, and then be sure to tighten them with an impact screwdriver.

Door locks hold the door in a closed position and prevent it from opening spontaneously while moving. The doors should be level, without distortions. The gaps between the door and the body must be the same around the entire perimeter. Otherwise, adjustment of the VAZ 2107 door locks or repair (replacement) of door hinges is necessary.

Important: it is useless to adjust the doors with faulty door hinges. Therefore, if they have play or are positioned incorrectly, the problem must be corrected

The VAZ 2107 doors should be adjusted after replacing or adjusting the hinges. Otherwise, the door will not close easily, even if it is fixed evenly with ideal gaps.

What tools and components need to be prepared

Of course, you can install such locks in a car service center, but you will have to pay a lot for the service, and independent work will require a minimum of cash investments and very few tools and additional components:

A set with external euro handles, it is best to give preference to a well-known manufacturer.
Locking mechanism with latch.
The part of the lock that is inserted inside the device is often called the “chocolate bar”.
Two fixing bolts that fit VAZ-2114 or VAZ-2115 car locks. It is worth noting that such clamps can have both short and long sizes. Experts recommend choosing the longest fasteners.
A connecting bolt for the rack and a tap with which you can cut the thread.
A small cable, the diameter of which will be approximately 1.5-1.6 mm and drills measuring 8.5, as well as 9 and 10.

In addition, a drill and a hammer, as well as a set of screwdrivers and medium-sized sandpaper can be useful in the work.

The VAZ 2107 door lock is a part that rarely fails. However, over time, this mechanism may need to be repaired, replaced, or adjusted.

Working principle of the door lock

The “seven” door lock consists of a locking mechanism, a key cylinder, external and internal handles that allow you to unlock the door from the outside and from the passenger compartment, as well as buttons for locking the car from the inside. The lock is controlled by transmitting force using rods. The main element of the lock is a rotor with a slot. When the door is locked, it goes behind the opening bracket. When the door closes, the bracket presses on the latch, as a result of which the ratchet is activated and the rotor rotates. When part of the bracket enters the rotor slot, thanks to the springs it returns to its original position, thereby pressing the door.

When the door needs to be opened, the latch flag is pressed, which causes the rotor to rotate through the ratchet and the bracket to release. When you lock the door using a key or a button from the interior, the latch is blocked. As a result, it becomes impossible to open the door. Since there is a rigid connection between the latch and the lock control handles through rods, they also do not work.

Door lock adjustment

If the car doors do not close well and there is a gap between the body elements, then first adjust the door, and then the lock itself. To carry out the procedure you will need the following list of tools:

10mm wrench or socket with crank;
marker;
lubricant

The adjustment process is performed as follows:

Using a marker, outline the outline of the retainer on the body pillar.
When closing the door with great force, unscrew the fastener and move it outward.
If the door closes normally, but a gap remains, move the lock inside the body.
When the lock is activated, the door should not move vertically. If it rises, we lower the latch, otherwise we perform the opposite actions.

Video: adjusting door locks on a “classic”

Sometimes situations arise when the locking mechanism does not work well when unlocking from the passenger compartment, despite the fact that the door opens without difficulty from the outside. To resolve this problem, you will need to adjust the position of the inside door release handle. To do this, loosen the screws securing the handle and move it to a position (selected experimentally) in which the door will close without problems. Afterwards all that remains is to tighten the fasteners.

The door does not lock

With the locking element of the doors on a VAZ 2107, such a nuisance can happen when the door does not lock. There are not many reasons for this and they usually lie in the breakdown of one of the elements of the lock (for example, a spring). In addition, water may enter and freeze inside the mechanism during the winter. If a frozen lock can be thawed, then the failed part will have to be replaced or a new locking mechanism installed.

How to remove a door lock

To dismantle the door lock on the “seven”, use the same tools as when disassembling the door. The process itself consists of the following steps:

Remove the door trim.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to disconnect the lock power button rod.

Door lock repair

If there is a need to repair a “seven” door lock, the procedure usually boils down to lubricating the rubbing parts, adjusting the locking mechanism, and possibly replacing a broken spring or lock cylinder.

Replacing the larva

If difficulties arise with locking/unlocking the door using a key on a Zhiguli of the seventh model, you have to replace the lock cylinder. To do this, you will need to remove the decorative door trim, and then follow the step-by-step steps:

Using a flat screwdriver, pry up the lock rod and remove it.

Removing old locks

To remove the old lock, you need to unscrew the five bolts located at the end of the door. They hold the lock itself and the window lifter guide. After this, we remove them, freeing the locking mechanism from the latches of the lock drive rods. The plastic fasteners for the rods and pushrods can be snapped off using a flat-head screwdriver

Exposure to them must be carried out with extreme caution so as not to damage them. The last step before installation is to remove the external opening handle

It is removed by unscrewing the two nuts holding it on the inside of the door. It is more convenient to unscrew them using a socket wrench. After this, the handle can be freely removed from the outside. Now everything is ready to install new locks.

How to Open the Rear Door of a VAZ 2114

What to do if the door on the outside of a VAZ does not open?2114

Virtually every modern person has his own car. There is nothing unusual in this, because having a car is much easier and, most importantly, more convenient, you can get to any place both in the city and in the suburbs.

In order for your metal four-wheeled friend to work properly and not let its owner down on the road, you should definitely look after its technical condition.

And every car enthusiast who has at least a little experience in repair work can fix minor damage.

The door does not open from the outside in any VAZ-2114

Infrequently, but still, the owners of the VAZ-2114 have a problem - the door does not open from the outside

. It is possible to eliminate this problem without the help of service station employees, if you take into account the advice of professionals when working and carry out the entire process step by step.

It is worth noting that both the driver's front and rear doors can become jammed in the car. Before you begin to fix the problem, you should find out the cause of the breakdown. Door

may not open well due to the following reasons:

The car door key has failed.
The leash has become unusable.
The rod has become disconnected from the car lock.

Having found out the cause of the breakdown, you can begin to eliminate the problem step by step.

Step-by-step troubleshooting

Work begins with replacing the key. If it is made of silumin, then in the winter this element freezes quite often. If you apply too much pressure, a silumin key may simply break. Of course, such a part needs to be replaced, but for this you don’t have to buy a door handle on a VAZ- 2114

assembled, but buy a repair kit. It includes:

two keys;
two leashes for handles;
fastening elements.

Before replacing, you need to pay attention to the appearance of the element - on its reverse side there are two protrusions, one of which, when activated, will press the key, and the second is shortened during assembly so that the ends of the leash do not protrude outward

Replacing the leash

The leash, which the key must push during operation, can also fail due to frost or due to strong pressure, since it is based on the same silumin. Due to the failure of this element, it will be more difficult to open the door, and ultimately the lock will simply jam. The leash is changed according to the same pattern that was previously described.

If, during inspection, the car owner discovers that the driver's door

does not open from the outside due to the disconnection of the rod from the lock, then you will not need to buy additional elements. And the breakdown is repaired in the following sequence:

the door must be opened, carefully remove the inner lining of the door handle;
fasteners are unscrewed using a screwdriver;
the window lifter handle is removed;
the fasteners securing the door trim are removed;
use a screwdriver to unscrew the button that activates the lock;
the cladding is completely removed;
the handle pull wire is disconnected from the lock;
the fasteners securing the handle to the car door are unscrewed;
Through the opening that appears in the door, the handle is carefully removed, and the traction wires are installed in a permanent place.

Reassembly must be done in reverse order.

Sometimes it happens that the front or back door is jammed both from the outside and from the inside.

In this case, to fix the breakdown, car owners will need to remove or move the outer casing to such a distance that they can place their hand in the resulting space and press the lever.

Thus, the door will open, therefore, it will be possible to identify the cause of the breakdown and begin to eliminate it.

Installing a central door lock on a VAZ 2107

Central locking (CL) on the VAZ 2107 is installed for the purpose of simpler and more comfortable operation of the car, making it possible to lock and unlock the door using a key fob. To install a central locking system on your car, you will need to purchase a set of equipment consisting of four actuators (drives), a remote control and a control unit (CU), wiring, fuses and brackets.

To install the central lock on the “seven” you need to prepare the necessary list of tools:

drill;
set of drills;
screwdrivers;
pliers;
wire cutters;
self-tapping screws 15–20 mm with a flat head;
rubber tubes, corrugations;
male/female terminals;
heat shrink tube for insulating wires.

Before installing the central locking system, remove the negative terminal from the battery, after which we perform the following steps:

Remove the decorative door trim.
Before fixing the actuator, we bend the bar along the door profile, mark and drill holes for the screws.
We attach the servo drive to the door.

Video: installing a central lock using the example of a “six”

Problems with the door elements of the VAZ 2107 do not arise so often, but sometimes this part has to be disassembled for repair, adjustment or replacement. The procedure is within the capabilities of every car enthusiast and comes down to preparing the necessary tools and following step-by-step instructions.

Installation of anti-theft system and components

Installing an anti-theft system takes a lot of time, but it's worth it. The anti-theft system for VAZ 2107, 2106, 2105 is installed under the front panel or under the sound insulation of the engine compartment. In the first case, the front panel must be removed, but despite this, this method is considered more deliberate, since the alarm units are located more reliably.

First of all, you can install the LED by fixing it on the front panel near the windshield. If you are installing an alarm system on a VAZ 2107, 2106, 2105, the block can be located on the left, right or center, respectively. Using a tester, find the wiring of the central locking, door opening buttons, and ignition. If there is no central locking, it is necessary to install an electric drive under the door trim, which is connected to the main alarm unit.

You can install an electric drive on all doors using turn signals and wires with limit switches. We mount the siren under the hood so that it is invisible and difficult to access. It must be secured with a screwdriver so that dirt, water and dust do not get into the horn. To avoid breakdowns, all parts of the car alarm should be well secured and the connections should be insulated. To reduce the likelihood of your car being stolen, you need to block the engine, fuel pump, starter and ignition.

Features of adjusting the handle and lock

The mechanism will be permanently blocked if there is a problem with the lock or hand-held device. Main symptoms and solution to the problem:

The key does not insert well, does not turn, and gets stuck. This fault leads to poor closing, resulting in an incorrect closing. Replacement of the larva is indicated.
The mechanism is blocked. A new lock needs to be installed.
The handle does not open the door the first time. Provision is made for disassembling the device and replacing the latch or fasteners.
Closing occurs with a dull thud. In this case, the locking mechanism of the handle moves towards the lock, the adjustment is shown.

Castle repair

The 2107 locking mechanism itself is extremely simple, so it rarely fails. Mostly problems arise with the larva. It has to be replaced when the key is lost or broken, and besides, it itself can fail over time.

To install a new lock on the trunk of a VAZ-2107, prepare the following tools:

10 mm socket wrench;
installation (needed for subsequent adjustment).

Also stock up on silicone grease and the lock itself or a serviceable element to replace the one that has failed.

First of all, open the lid. Next you need to do the following:

draw a line around the lock mechanism (this way you won’t have to adjust the new one);
unscrew the two nuts securing the mechanism;
pull out the lock;
close the trunk;
push the larva inside.

Then a new device is installed, adjusted by installation and tested for functionality.

What problems arise with doors

When might it be necessary to adjust the doors of a VAZ 2107? This happens in cases where the locking mechanism refuses to function. The inoperability of the locking mechanism is manifested by jamming of the doors, while they cannot be either closed or opened.

It is important to know! Reviews from owners of "Sevens" show that the most common disease of VAZs is door misalignment (sagging). When skewed, they close very poorly and are difficult to open, so it is urgent to take appropriate action to eliminate the malfunction

There are also cases when faulty locks allow doors to open while the car is moving. Over time, any parts wear out, and with frequent and careless use, the locks can fail at any moment. To correct the situation, it is necessary to periodically diagnose the door locks on the “seven”. Diagnostics consists of checking, lubricating and adjusting the locks of all devices on a VAZ 2107 car

Let’s find out in more detail how to adjust, as well as what details you should pay attention to.

Features of adjusting the gap and hinges

Adjustment does not require special knowledge, but it will require enough time to accurately set the locks, hinges and gaps

Initially, you should pay attention to the lock mechanisms, as well as diagnose the condition of the gaps between body panels, front fenders, as well as racks and frames. We also recommend that before starting work with the adjustment, thoroughly clean and lubricate the lock mechanism and the mating part; sometimes this solves the problem of poor closing and further work becomes unnecessary

The gaps on the VAZ-2107 car sometimes reach 7 mm, which, by the way, is not a rare occurrence. If you cannot set a stable gap (no more than 3 mm), then there is nothing to do, you should proceed to the stage of adjusting the hinges.

In order to adjust the hinges on the VAZ-2107, you need to use a Phillips impact screwdriver. The hinges are adjustable either in pairs or only one, which depends on where the door is skewed

When adjusting them, you need to pay attention to the condition of the seals; if they no longer perform their functions, they need to be replaced. When adjusting the hinges, it is recommended to lubricate them and also eliminate any play.

Features of lock adjustment

It is necessary to begin adjusting the door locks of the VAZ-2107 with troubleshooting. To do this, you should initially inspect the mechanism, and then lubricate the crossbars. There are two options for adjusting the locks on the “seven”. Let's consider both options:

Option #1. Before adjusting the doors, you need to make sure that the parts of the product do not have critical wear. The front and rear locks have a similar design, so the adjustments are identical for them. It is necessary to begin work by unscrewing the three bolts that secure the mating part of the lock located on the rack. Once the bolts are loosened, you can proceed. To do this, the mating part should be visually positioned so as to obtain the optimal position. Afterwards, it should be slightly tightened and checked; if the door does not close, then it is necessary to slightly lower or raise the position of the counter part. If the closed door protrudes, we move the counter part inside the car; if it falls inside, we push it out. It is necessary to adjust little by little, until the most optimal moment.
Option #2. How to adjust the door lock on a VAZ 2107? To do this, you need to slightly loosen the three bolts that secure the mating part. After loosening them, you need to close the door and lightly press on it. After this, the product must be opened and the bolts tightened. We repeat the closing again, and if necessary, the mating part is shifted again.
If, after prolonged manipulation, it ends with the impossibility of adjusting the door lock, then you may have to replace the hinges. In most cases, problems arise with the hinges, which wear out and sag over time.

Before carrying out work, you can use a pencil to outline the contour of the mating part. The original location of the product should be used as a starting point when carrying out adjustment work using any of the options described above.

Adjustment is not particularly difficult, but requires special precision, so be patient and get to work. If you still cannot adjust the locks on your car acceptable, go to the nearest auto body repair shop and they will help you.
