Replacing and adjusting door locks of a VAZ 2106 car

The core plays the role of a magnetic field amplifier. After this, you can remove the device from the bracket by prying it with a slotted screwdriver. Good luck with the renovation! To remove the cylinder, you need to unfasten the front cover using a screwdriver. Drill out the retainer with a drill. If the latch cannot be fully pressed, you need to simultaneously slightly turn the key left and right, without turning it all the way. Installation of Central Locking on VAZ.Vlog

On the inside of the washer there are conductive contacts of these terminals, as well as a movable element that rotates under the influence of the lock mechanism. The moving part is located on the inside of the washer. There are two options here.

We performed similar actions when replacing the steering shaft. These reasons are caused by poor terminal contact on the VAZ, or by the fact that the starter takes a long time to start. After removal, it is recommended to mark the contact wires so that nothing is mixed up the next time you connect.

It is located on the lock body under the bracket. The lock in the steering column bracket is held in place by a latch - press it with an awl. Pull the key towards you to remove the lock. Ignition switch VAZ 2101 - 07. How to replace a chip.

Preparatory stage

To repair the door lock of a Zhiguli 2106, preliminary work is needed. They begin with checking the position of the hinges; if there is a slight distortion, there are uneven gaps, then it is recommended to adjust the position of the locking latch. This is the easiest way for the knot to begin closing quickly and correctly. Work order step by step:

1. Outline the position of the latch with a pencil.
2. Loosen the three screws, do not remove them.
3. Move the pawl lock and check how the locking mechanism closes.
4. Tighten the screws in the new position.

On a VAZ 2106, the retainer is attached to the side of the pillar with hex screws; for the work you will need an open-end wrench or an 8-size wrench.

If, after reinstalling the latch, the locking element of the door does not lock, it is necessary to repair or change the internal part of the mechanism; to do this, dismantle the door trim, the outer and inner handle, and check the rods.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Sequencing

Door locks are controlled by an inside and outside handle. The opening mechanism is directly connected to the locking part by a steel drive. The outer handle has a lock insert. When you turn the key, the safety lock is activated, and pressing the handle again opens the door. On the interior side, the inner handle is connected to the locking part through a flexible cable.

For the rear doors there is a child safety lock in the design. The latch prevents the rear door from opening from the inside. To repair, you need to completely disassemble the door panel: dismantle the trim, pull out the part, make adjustments, repairs or replace the cylinder. The following tools will be required for the work:

• ratchet wrench;
• head at 8;
• Phillips and flat screwdriver;
• wooden, plastic wedge.

Checking the operation of the new lock

The installation work is completed. Now you need to make sure that everything in the car is working properly. First we connect the battery. If the system is operating correctly, when the key is set to position “0”, all systems must be turned off. In position “I”, power is supplied to the engine management system, generator, headlights, warning lamps, washers and wipers, power windows and control devices.

In position “II”, voltage is supplied to the same systems, and in addition, the starter starts. If the lock is operating correctly, the locking rod of the anti-theft mechanism will extend and retract when the key is moved from position “0” (off) to position “I” and back.

As you can see, there is nothing supernatural - you can replace the ignition switch yourself, without turning to a car repair shop for help. The main thing is a little patience and knowledge, and you will master simple car repairs. And the “six” will delight you with its faithful service for a long time. Good luck on the roads!

Dismantling the casing

The VAZ skin is a plywood or plastic card with stretched facing material. Before starting repairs, the glass must be raised all the way up. Dismantling the casing step by step:

1. Using a flat screwdriver, pry off the decorative plug on the armrest mounting screw.
2. Unscrew the three bolts securing the armrest and remove the part.
3. Press the base of the window lift handle away from the trim, slide the socket and remove the flat trim.
4. Pull out the handle and remove the socket.
5. Using a screwdriver, use a screwdriver to pry the cover on the drive handle of the locking part, move it around under the cover, and remove the handle.
6. Remove the door card with a screwdriver or a wooden wedge, unfastening the seven holders around the perimeter, and remove the trim.

The internal door blocks on the VAZ 2106 are covered with protective film or sound insulation; the door leaf must be disconnected from below and lifted upward. This will open up access to the door cavity.

How to get to the mechanism

For VAZ classics, the design of the locks and mechanisms of the front and rear doors is almost the same. The only difference is that the drive of the locking part for the rear door has additional elements, the correction of which takes longer than when adjusting the front doors.

To dismantle it from the rear door of the VAZ, you will need a Phillips and flat-head screwdriver and a key size 8. The glass must be raised. Removal procedure step by step after removing the door card:

1. Unscrew the lock button.
2. Unscrew the locking rod bracket fastening nut and remove the washer.
3. Unscrew the three fastening screws and remove the bracket.
4. The bracket is removed from the door cavity along with the rods. For convenience, it is necessary to slightly bend the metal casing of the front linkage; do not bend the drive at a right angle.
5. Remove the locking element from its place, unfasten the inner handle rod holder, remove the handle and drive.
6. Using a screwdriver, remove the longitudinal drive hinge from the locking mechanism.
7. Remove the retaining ring and disconnect the longitudinal drive from the locking rod bracket.

Installing the lock is carried out in the reverse order.

It is more convenient to adjust the correct position of the mechanisms when the bolts are not fully tightened.

Original patented locks on Zhiguli cannot be lubricated with oil, silicone lubricants, etc. Dirt from the mechanism is removed with technical gasoline. The unit is disassembled, the parts are rinsed and dried. When assembling the mechanism, the cams are lubricated with compounds containing flake graphite.

Front door lock device

Car locks are installed in the door cavity and fixed with two screws; the locking element is connected to the opening mechanism by rods. To reduce noise when opening and closing, high-density plastic coatings are installed on the ratchets, which reduces wear on the contact surface during operation. The design contains:

• retainer body;
• cracker spring, cracker;
• rotor;
• switch;
• traction: blocker, internal drive, switch;
• outside handle;
• levers: internal drive, blocker, external drive;
• lock button;
• ratchet;
• switch roller, central roller.

Cylinder locks or cylinders have become widespread. For the front doors, the locks can be combined with a common ignition key circuit.

“Don’t slam the door!”: silent door locks on VAZ 2105, 2106, 2107

Every car owner wants his car to look and work perfectly. The owners of domestic cars do a large amount of work and invest significant amounts of money to restore the car and improve it: they change body parts, paint, install sound insulation and high-quality acoustic systems, put high-quality leather upholstery on the seats, change optics, glass, install alloy wheels . As a result, the car gets a new life and continues to please its owner. However, due to design features, cars have mechanisms that cannot be modernized, and their operation often does not satisfy the requirements of the modern car owner. We are talking about the door locks of VAZ 2105, 2106, 2107 cars. Even when they are new, these locks make a lot of noise when closing the door, which certainly hurts the ear at a time when the car has already received complete sound insulation, and the operation of its components and mechanisms has been adjusted. But there is a way out: installing silent locks on your car doors.

Recommendations for selecting and replacing handles

The standard front and rear door handles on VAZs can be replaced with non-original components, which are called Euro handles. After the repair, the doors begin to lock without effort; there is no need to slam or press on the part for the fuses or the main lock to work.

At the same time, drivers reinstall the lock, choosing silent models. Plastic components are used in the design of silent locking devices along with metal parts. During operation, plastic prevents metal joining, ensures silent operation of the mechanism and prevents rapid wear.

Installation of Euro handles is carried out in standard places; no additional drilling of holes is required during installation. Replacement is carried out after dismantling the casing. The part is installed with three screws. The average price of a set of 4 parts is from 1000 rubles.

When installing the Euro handle, it is necessary to loosen the fastening of the locks and check the tightness of the plastic latches, adjust the position of the handle stop and the ratchet.

Features of installing silent on VAZ 2105, 2106, 2107

One important feature should be taken into account when installing silent locks on “classic” locks. After installing the lock, the lever that is responsible for opening the lock is directed in the other direction, i.e. it must be lowered to open the lock, unlike the factory lock, where the lever had to be raised. This entails modifying the standard door opening handles or installing the euro handle upside down. An additional metal flag must be installed on the internal mechanism of the handle of the VAZ 2105 and 2106, to which the rod will be attached, so that when the handle is opened, the flag presses down.

The flag is installed on the handle on the side that is closest to the lock.

When starting work, you should be guided by the principle “Measure twice, cut once”; here it will come in handy more than ever. Having done everything efficiently, you will get a good result. Now you don’t have to loudly slam the door, sometimes several times. New locks will ensure quiet and easy closing of the door, which will be especially noted by owners of foreign cars who enter the interior of your car. Despite the fact that the process of installing silent locks on a car is very painstaking, requiring both time and material costs, the result will please you for a very long time.

Replacing the front door lock

If it is necessary to change the lock on the front door, the trim must first be dismantled and the glass must be raised all the way. Procedure for reinstallation step by step:

1. Unscrew the two screws securing the rear gutter from the end.
2. Lower the gutter, remove the tongue from the groove, and move the part to the side.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, disconnect the shutdown button rod and unfasten the outer handle rod.
4. Using a size 8 wrench, unscrew the nut securing the groove, move away the plastic cover, and remove the part from engagement with the frame post.
5. Unscrew the two fastening screws and push the handle inward.
6. Remove three self-tapping screws or fastening screws.
7. Remove the locking mechanism from the door panel along with the rods and the inside handle.

Installing a new lock is carried out in the reverse order.

When choosing a part, you must take into account that the mechanism for the right door is not suitable for installation on the left one. After reinstalling the parts, it is necessary to set up a clear opening mode and, if necessary, adjust the latch clamps.

Installing a new lock

The ignition switch is disconnected. Now we can start connecting the new one.

We connect the contact group of wires

If you are lucky enough to become the owner of a chip that closes the wires, then simply connect it to the new lock.

Connecting the chip

If there is no chip, then we connect each wire separately. We take the terminal block of the new ignition switch in our hands so that the only double terminal located on it is on the right and in a vertical position. The top compartment of the double terminal corresponds to the double black wire.

Wiring pinout by color

Next we move counterclockwise. The next one to connect is the pink wire, followed by the double blue, then the brown, and the last one is red. In addition, you can figure out the location of the wires on the terminal block using the digital marks that mark the block itself. There is a designation near each terminal; let’s look at how the terminals correspond to the colors of the wires:

• 1NT – black double wire
• 30 – pink wire
• 15 – double blue wire
• 30/1 – brown wire
• 50 – red wire.

The lower part of the double terminal remains empty - as it should be. Contacts are connected.

Back of the castle

We install the lock in place and finish the job.

Now it's time to lock the new lock in its original position - to the left of the steering wheel.

So, insert the key into the lock and fix it in position “0”. Then we take the lock and insert it into its original position, “sinking” the side lock with your fingers. Now the lock is in place, so we can tighten the mounting screws and install the decorative protective cover.

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:

1. With the lock removed, remove the spring that releases the key in the cylinder by prying it with a screwdriver.
2. Use a thin wire to press out the fixing rod.
3. Remove the top ring, the cylinder is removed from the back of the lock.
4. 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.

Ignition switch problems

Problems are possible with both the mechanical and electrical parts of the device.

The key won't turn

One of the lock malfunctions is a problem with the key, when it turns tightly or does not turn at all. Quite often the situation ends with the key breaking, as a result of which part of it remains inside the mechanism. A solution to the problem of a jamming lock can be the use of a penetrating lubricant, for example, WD-40. But do not forget that this is just a temporary solution and the switch will still have to be replaced in the near future.

Devices do not function

If such a problem is observed when the key is turned in the lock, but the instruments on the dashboard do not show “signs of life,” this may indicate damage to the contacts of the mechanism, as a result of which they do not fit together tightly enough. The malfunction is solved by replacing the contact group or simply by cleaning the contacts with fine sandpaper. It is advisable to check how tightly the connectors fit on the contacts - they may need to be tightened with pliers.

The starter does not turn on

If there is a problem with the lock, problems with starting the starter may also occur. The reason is damage to the switch contacts or failure of the contact group. As a rule, the malfunction is typical for the contacts that supply power to the starter. The problem manifests itself as follows: the starter does not start or it takes several attempts to turn it on. To determine whether there is indeed a fault in the contacts, you can check the voltage at the terminals using a test lamp or multimeter.

If it is discovered that the contacts have become unusable, it is not necessary to completely change the lock - you can only replace the washer with the contacts.

Setting the front left and right door locks

The adjustment begins with checking and reinstalling the lock latches. In 70% of cases, the doors stop locking and close the first time.

In other cases, the position of the handle is adjusted if the door does not open from the outside. To do this, you need to loosen the fastening screws, move the handle and bracket towards the front pillar. After adjustment, the screws are tightened.

On classic VAZ models, jamming and locking of the lock is often associated with stretched rods. The drives are removed, the tips are checked, and the creases are straightened.
