Adjusting the doors of a VAZ 2110, if it closes poorly or does not close tightly, set the gaps

The basic VAZ door lock, in principle, is a fairly reliable system, but there may be prerequisites for its replacement. In this case, it is better to replace it with a silent door lock.

At the same time, for most drivers, updating the silent locks of the VAZ 2110 is a matter of principle, because they strive to make the lock not just quiet, but almost inaudible. But first things first.

Door lock mechanism

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.

For the VAZ 2110, the locking mechanisms of the left and right doors are the same, the repair of the mechanical part is carried out in the same way.

Replacing the larva

In some cases, it is not necessary to change the entire door lock on a VAZ 2110. It is enough to limit yourself to replacing the larva, which may jam.

The cylinder is a small metal cylinder containing a mechanism that is turned by a key. Each such element is individual; only one key can fit it.

To dismantle and replace the cylinder, you will need a flat-head screwdriver and pliers. Step-by-step work:

Remove the door card.
Insert a screwdriver between the cylinder and the traction mechanism, turning them slightly, disconnect them.
Pry up the bracket - a flat metal retainer, cylinders, and remove it from its seat with pliers.
Remove the cylinder from the outside of the door and replace it with a new one, performing the work in reverse order.

The basic VAZ door lock, in principle, is a fairly reliable system, but there may be prerequisites for its replacement. In this case, it is better to replace it with a silent door lock.

Lock mechanism design

Front door lock: 1 – external drive lever; 2 – intermediate lever; 3, 18 – lock release levers; 4 – lock drive finger; 5 – dog; 6 – ratchet; 7 – lock release rod; 8 – lock switch; 9 – bracket; 10 – outer door handle; 11 – spring of the outer handle; 12 – leash; 13 – external drive rod; 14 – lock retainer; 15 – lock release button; 16 – internal lock body; 17 – shutdown button rod; 18 – double-arm lock release lever; 19 – lever of the internal lock drive; 20 – internal drive rod; 21 – intermediate rod of the inner handle; 22 – inner handle leash; 23 – internal door handle; 24 – locking motor reducer; 25 – blocking rod; 26 – screw for fastening the gear motor

When to change the lock

So, the need to replace the standard factory lock with a modified one arises in the following cases:

If you suspect that someone tried to steal your car. As a rule, inexperienced car thieves can only damage the lock, as evidenced by the following signs: • The front door lock began to dangle, which was not the case before; • The key turns with difficulty, naturally, the doors are not easy to open; • There is visually noticeable damage in the lock area and/or near it; • You cannot open the front door at all with your own key;

You have lost your keys. Even if you have a spare set, this fact should alert you. Maybe the keys were not lost at all, but stolen, and now car theft is a real danger. In this situation (as well as in the case of the “inexplicable” loss of house keys), for most, a replacement is an indispensable condition for sleeping peacefully. By the way, in such a situation, perhaps only the larva will be replaced, which is cheaper and less work. The cylinder is the internal door mechanism, which is actually turned with a key. It is as individual and unique as the key itself. Thus, without disassembling the entire mechanism (which is discussed below), you can carry out this small repair in order to have a completely new lock for opening the front door;

Accidentally, mechanically, you broke something in the front door lock mechanism

For example, changing the upholstery, making careless adjustments, etc. After all, the design of the lock is such that it is not limited to only the visible part, but has locking parts directly under the door trim;

You want to make the lock more reliable by increasing its protective properties, for which you carry out repairs and modifications.

Replacement of external door lock

The work can be done without removing the door trim. There is no need to adjust the lock after replacing it.

Using an impact screwdriver with a Phillips head No. 3, loosen the two screws securing the lock.

Having unscrewed the lower screw securing the lock, screw in its place an M8 pin 70-80 mm long

Turn out the top screw.

Typical faults and solutions

Most often, VAZ 2110 owners encounter the following problems with the locking mechanism:

It is impossible to close the door or a lot of force must be applied. Reasons: the latch is too moved inside the passenger compartment or the lock drives are incorrectly adjusted. Remedy: Move the lock outward slightly or adjust the drives.
The door does not close completely and remains closed only in the first (emergency) position. Reason: The locking mechanism has failed. Remedy: repair or replace the locking mechanism.
The door lock does not work. Causes: the locking mechanism has been adjusted incorrectly. Remedy: adjust the locking mechanism.

If the car has been converted to an electric lock, then it is necessary to diagnose the operation of the electrical signal from the key fob to the catchers, check the connection diagram and only then disassemble the door panel. The rear door lock is checked in the same way after diagnosing the central system.

Possible malfunctions of the locking system

If you need to find out how to find the main control unit with your own hands, then first of all you need to read the service book - it should indicate where the mechanism is located. As a rule, the unit is located under the center console, sometimes it can be hidden in the door itself. It's no secret that any device cannot work forever and over time, malfunctions may also appear in the operation of the central locking system. In practice, the device can often stop functioning due to the fact that the driver, using the remote control, transmits an extended or rapid signal to open or close the doors.

Adjusting the lock

After 3-4 years of operation, drivers note a defect: one of the doors of the VAZ 2110 car begins to close poorly. For example, it is loose when the part sticks out when closed. It also happens the other way around: when you try to slam the door hard, it doesn’t close. In such cases, adjust the latch. To work you will need good lighting and special tools:

a large screwdriver with a socket head at the end of the handle;
a key that will be used as a lever;
crosshead screwdriver.

Work order:

Using a screwdriver and a square key placed over it as a lever, partially unscrew all three locking mechanism lock screws. This is necessary to move it relative to the plane on which it is mounted.
If a closed car door protrudes outward relative to other body elements, then it is necessary to move the latch towards the passenger compartment.
The adjustment is carried out experimentally. There are no clear parameters for how far the latch needs to be advanced.

During work, it is necessary to check the overall geometry of the body. If the misalignment of the doors occurs due to violation of the geometry parameters, then repair of the locking mechanisms will have to be carried out constantly.

When the door does not close completely, even if a lot of force is applied to it, it is necessary to move the latch closer to the outer edge of the car body. If the gaps between the car door and the body are uneven, this can be corrected by moving the lock up or down. The defect is corrected by adjusting the door hinges, placing washers of various thicknesses.

After the lock is adjusted, the bolts are tightened as tightly as possible.

Principle of operation

The door lock of the VAZ 2110 car consists of two parts - mechanical and electronic (not in all trim levels). The mechanical part includes three types of working schemes:

The main task of the locking mechanism circuit is to secure the door. The design uses a locking pawl and a turning latch. When the driver's door is closed, the turn signal latch moves behind the lock holder bracket. The pawl has two recesses - the main one and the additional one. With their help, the locking pawl holds the position of the rotary latch. When the door is completely closed, the pawl lever falls into the main recess. If the door is not closed completely, when the door is slammed, the rotary pawl falls into an additional recess and the door still remains closed, but a larger opening is visually visible. An additional recess is made for the safety of the driver and passengers.

The lever mechanism ensures the door opens. The force from the door handles is transmitted through the corresponding rods to the lever mechanism. It acts on the locking pawl. The rotary latch is released, rotated, and the mechanism opens. After the door is opened, the locking mechanism returns to its original position due to the action of the return spring of the lever mechanism.

Design of silent locks

The silent lock works on the latch principle, which allows you to close the car door very quietly and effortlessly. Structurally, the lock consists of the following main parts:

internal structure;
outer panel;
finger.

The control rod from the door handles, the rod from the cylinder, as well as the locking buttons are connected to the inside. During installation, the structure is connected to the outdoor unit using screws. As a result, a single mechanism is formed.

When closing, the outer part engages with a locking bar, which is attached to the car body pillar. As a result, the door is held closed.

The latch pin is a part that is covered with a plastic shell.

In addition to the fact that the door no longer needs to be closed with a slam, an additional advantage of such structures is that their rubbing surfaces are covered with plastic; they do not require additional care in the form of constant cleaning and lubrication.

Installing a central lock - car upgrade

If you are interested in such a device, you can install it yourself at home. You can buy central locking for the VAZ 2109 at almost any auto store. They are the same type of design, so the lock from other VAZ cars will also work. For installation, in addition to the lock, you will need several screwdrivers and keys, as well as desire and patience.

Before starting work, you need to disconnect the terminals from the car battery, since installing the lock requires connecting the power supply. After this, you can begin to remove the cards with the casing. During the removal process, the latches that hold them in place may break, so prepare new ones in advance.

Next, you need to choose the right place to install the central lock. It is worth considering the peculiarity of moving the glass mechanism. In rare cases, you may need to purchase additional mounts for the car envelope. The central lock is attached to self-tapping screws and bolts with nuts. Basically, the factory provides a place for installing a lock, and there are also special electrical chips for connecting it.

If there are no such chips in the envelope of your VAZ 2109, then you will need to extend the wiring to the on-board computer control unit. It is located inside the car under the stove shaft. Connecting the power supply correctly will not be difficult for you, because all the chips are universal. A similar installation procedure must be done with the rest of the car cards. It is best to run the wiring from the rear door locks along the thresholds of the car.

After installing the central locking mechanism, make sure that all doors operate correctly. It is very important that the lock bars move freely and do not interfere with the opening of the main lock handle, as well as the lowering of the car window. All metal connections must be lubricated during installation. And only after that proceed to reassembling the cards with the casing.

Reassembly

Assembly is done in reverse order, but with one caveat. The perimeter trim is secured with plastic rivets, which are very fragile and often break when removed. Before installation, you must replace all of them with new ones. Otherwise, due to a loose fit, the casing will rattle when driving.

To replace, you only need a flathead screwdriver. It is necessary to remove the dowel from the door hole and insert a rivet into the trim. It is not recommended to leave old kits, they are disposable. When the door trim is ready for installation, first carefully press it against the door, trying to align all the rivets with the dowels. Next, apply light pressure along the perimeter to press it tightly. That's it, you can tighten the screws and put the speaker in place.

Now you know what to do if the door on a VAZ-2110 does not open from the inside. The repair budget will be about 200-300 rubles, the time cost will be no more than half an hour. Minimum effort will be required to fix this problem. The work is completely simple. This procedure is suitable if any front door on a VAZ-2110 cannot be opened from the inside. The actions in all cases are similar and do not require additional description.

To open the door of a VAZ 2112 from the passenger compartment, when you pull the opening handle, you need to pull the door towards yourself for it to open. Otherwise, if you don’t pull the door towards you, it won’t open, why?

Because the lock needs to be adjusted. The latch clamps, you need to move it a little. Just don’t close the door with loose screws, move it a little, tighten it, try it. And so on until you adjust it as needed. There the lock itself moves a little and the counter part is on the stand.

This is because the mechanism is worn out, there is a little wear here, a little there, but in the end we have what we have.

Even more useful tips in a convenient format

Guys, help, in general, the rear right door does not open, not from the outside or from the inside. It's as if it's jammed. How and what to do? maybe someone knows? There were frosts, the door froze, well, somehow I opened it, and then it completely closed and that’s it SO THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED I’ll try to do everything with pictures and explanations, since I’m not the only one, I hope the post won’t be deleted, as it might be useful to someone So, I removed the door card, naturally it was cramped and uncomfortable.

I had to unscrew the rear window guide (it looks like velvet glass seals) and the view became better. In order to understand what was working wrong, I opened and removed the same thing from the second door, closed it and began to study the result of what kind of thrust the lock has, we can say the total, or rather there are two thrusts (external and internal handle), then one of the locks are combined (it turns out like knee) when you open it from the street, one part of the knee moves, and when from the inside, the knee is assembled. I switch to the jammed door and observe that when opening the rod from the street, part of the knee moves like everything else (but this is just a part), I open it from the passenger compartment, the second part does not move and therefore the knee assembly also does not produce any action. Yeah, I see. I look at the working side.

When the door is closed, the center of the knee is at the top, but on my door it is at the bottom when closed, and thereby jammed and blocked this draft. Somehow I crawled up, and trying to lift this knee up, it worked, but not the first time. - I open it from the salon and the door comes loose, and says get out of here, I close the tongue on the open door, check the knee, everything is as it should be, I open it, everything works. Until I thought of this option, I tried as the guys here advised, namely, I tried to heat the castle with my mother’s hairdryer, it took a long time, it was terribly hot. If the tongue were frozen, it would thaw anyway IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME There is another option, as I understand it: we remove the back of the seat, pull out the seal, and a decent gap opens, in which you can see part of the lock and part of the bolt; if you try really hard, you can crawl there with something thin, and get into the lower part of the tongue on the lock and the door will open, I tried it on a working door, IT WORKS, but I didn’t have enough patience on a broken one, so this option DID NOT HELP me. So I think it will be useful for someone, but what if the moderators delete it? I’ll try to create an entry in the forum, only without pictures Thanks to everyone who gave advice, perhaps they will be the solution to the problem for others, but I had a slightly different problem PS leave an entry, it may be useful.

Adjusting the lock

VAZ 2110 door lock adjustment

Detailed regulation algorithm:

first you need to outline the contours of the lock itself, and always on the body pillar of the vase;
Next, you should proceed to checking the door and you need to determine how freely it closes;

VAZ 2110 adjustment of trunk door locks

if the door closes extremely tightly, the first thing you need to do is loosen the fastening screws of the latch;
field for loosening the screws, the lock itself will need to be slightly moved outward, and then all the nuts must be screwed back in;
if the car door on the other hand closes too loosely, then the latch must be moved not outward, but rather inward.

sometimes it happens that when closing a car door, it lifts slightly up, in this case, the latch must be slightly lowered down;
If the door, on the contrary, goes down slightly when closing, then the latch must be slightly lowered.

Algorithm for adjusting the luggage compartment lock of a car:

First, it is necessary to remove the casing in order to make it practically possible to loosen all three screw fastenings of the lock by relaxing the tension of the hood;
after which you need to slightly move the lock in the desired vector;
then you need to tighten the fastening rod screw tightly;
It is good to check the effectiveness of the locking function of the lock;
if the lock does not lock well or, on the contrary, locks too well, then it must be readjusted;

VAZ 2110 lock rod adjustment

as soon as the final adjustment is made, it will be necessary to screw the lock’s fastening nut as tightly as possible;
carefully make sure that the latch and the latch are well connected to each other; if this is not observed, you need to slightly reduce the degree of tension of the bolt fastening, and then move the latch itself in the required direction;
after all of the listed technical manipulations have been successfully completed, it is imperative to check how easily the tailgate door can be locked and if the result is negative, the latch adjustment will need to be repeated again;
Now you can safely tighten all the mounting bolts.

The instructions for adjusting the doors with your own hands are extremely practical and easy to understand, however, the use of additional photos and video materials is a prerequisite. Because this will help to significantly save money. The cost of adjusting the lock in car repair shops is insignificant, however, most likely, the workshop employees will simply replace it in order to increase their own degree of material benefit.

Repair features

As a rule, in the event of a central locking malfunction, experienced electricians first check the condition of the sensors. If the central locking system is connected to the anti-theft system, then it is this system that is checked first. As stated above, activators most often fail, so they should also be checked.

If a certain door refuses to work, the reason must be found in it. This could be the solenoid itself or the wires. During the operation of the car and the frequent opening and closing of doors, a break in the wiring circuit may occur due to kinking and mechanical breakdown of the wire itself. If this is the case, then the wire needs to be replaced or the broken parts reconnected, and then insulated.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

What to do if your car door is sagging

Sagging car doors are a “disease” of used cars. To solve this problem, you often have to resort to a radical method of replacing (digesting) the hinges, and for this you need to dismantle the doors, which takes a lot of time and effort. However, in most cases, doors can be straightened using simpler and faster methods.

Signs of a sagging car door:

The doors do not close well or require force to open them.
When driving over uneven surfaces, the doors squeak (metal squeak).
After rain, water appears in the cabin.
There are scratches on the sills.
Due to the skew of the door, uneven gaps appear.

You should start by tightening the door hinge bolts. If this doesn't help, then try the following tips:

How to straighten car doors

The same method can be applied using a jack. The door should also be slightly open. We place a jack under the edge of the door through a block so as not to bend the door. We lift the door in the same way, at first a little, if this is not enough, we increase the force.

Adjusting the position of the door in the body opening.

10.2. Removing the tailgate of a VAZ-2111 car: 1 – bolt securing the fixed hinge link; 2 – movable link of the loop; 3 – tailgate; 4 – tailgate lock; 5 – bracket for fastening the gas-filled stop; 6 – gas-filled stop; 7 – lock retainer

To adjust the position of the door in the opening of the VAZ-2111 car body, unscrew bolts 1 (see Fig. 10.2) securing the fixed hinges and, using the enlarged holes in the body, adjust the gaps around the perimeter of the door. On VAZ-2112 cars, unscrew the nuts 1 (see Fig. 10.3) securing the fixed hinges 2 to the body. After completing the adjustment, tighten the bolts (or nuts).

10.3. Removing the tailgate of a VAZ-2112 car: 1 – nut; 2 – fixed link of the loop; 3 – bolt; 4 – tailgate; 5 – tailgate lock; 6 – gas-filled stop; 7 – lock retainer

10.4. Tailgate lock: 1 – gear motor for the electric drive of the lock; 2 – gear motor bracket; 3 – gasket; 4 – lock drive; 5 – bracket; 6 – upper links; 7 – bracket for the lock drive lever of the VAZ-2112 car; 8 – nut; 9 – lever of the lock drive of the VAZ-2111 car; 10 – lower links; 11 – electric drive thrust; 12 – lock; 13 – lock socket; 14 – nut securing the retainer socket; 15 – lock retainer; 16 – bolt; 17 – lock fastening nut

If the tailgate closes too tightly, loosen the fastening of the latch 15 (Fig. 10.4) and, using the enlarged holes in the latch, move it to the desired position. Before making adjustments, it is recommended to outline the contours of the clamp on the body. After completing the adjustment, tighten the fastening bolts of the clamp. The lock of the VAZ-2112 car differs from the lock of the VAZ-2111 car only in the length of the rods 6 and 10 and the brackets 7 of the drive levers.

Removal

Replacing, adjusting or repairing a lock involves removing it, for which you should perform the following actions:

Remove the upholstery from the front door where the lock is located;
Disconnect from the lock lever: • External handle rod; • Lock cylinder rod;
Disconnect the rod, remove the inner handle;
Remove the outer lock by unscrewing the two screws securing it;
Remove the internal lock along with two rods - the internal handle and the lock;
After removing the plastic holder from the locking rod, it must be disconnected from the lever;
After removing the locking bracket, disconnect the outer handle rod from the lever;
If your repair involves replacing the rod end, then when unscrewing it, be sure to count, remember or write down the number of revolutions you made. You need to tighten the new ones by the same number of turns, since these tips are used to adjust the length of the rods;
When installing a new lock, all work should be done in reverse order.

Why adjust doors?

The door of a modern car should close silently, with a slight push. Understanding that adjustment is required will come if the cause of the breakdown is identified:

The hinges are in the wrong position - the parts are checked for mechanical damage.
The gaps between the door and the body part have been increased - poor adjustment was previously carried out.
The door handle or lock needs to be replaced - the fasteners are poorly secured.
Body deformation occurs as a result of an accident, locksmith work, or improper installation of the door card.

If the driver carefully inspects the car, he will be able to replace sagging or sagging doors. When the door closes with a loud knock or this action requires force, the position of the door leaf has changed.

How to lift a door

If the structure continues to sag, it needs to be raised. We list the main methods:

Open the door, loosen the hinge bolts. Grasp the edge of the body with your hand. Gradually lift until the fragment is in place. Tighten the hardware.
Use a jack to raise the blade and then lower it with a sharp movement.
Buy washers with a diameter of 20x10 mm. The greater the sagging, the greater the width of the part should be: from 1 to 2 cm. The screw of the lower hinge is unscrewed, a washer is inserted onto its post, and the mechanism is tightened.

An integrated approach is recommended during adjustment, so you should carefully study all the information before undertaking independent repairs.

General information about the operation of a car lock

VAZ 2110 door lock adjustment

In a car, the design principle of all locks is almost identical. However, the ignition system lock is rightfully considered the most reliable. From a vehicle security perspective, the ignition switch is the last line of defense against theft. Car doors are a functional element that is daily subject to mechanical influence from the outside. Few motorists actually treat the doors of their own cars with care. Main functions of car doors:

protective, which consists of maintaining security;
insulating, is to create a visual seal of the car, thereby significantly increasing the level of comfort of movement.
