Features of replacing the door lock cylinder on a VAZ 2114 car


Reasons for replacing the VAZ 2114 lock cylinder

The mechanism is silent, but if an extraneous sound appears when opening the door element, the device will have to be dismantled or rebuilt. Replacing the front door lock cylinder on a VAZ 2114 is required for a number of reasons:

  • a sharp drop in temperature;
  • failure of the locking ring;
  • loss of the fixing column;
  • destruction of the plastic rod cap;
  • wear of internal pins and teeth.

In winter, the locking devices freeze, causing the key to turn with difficulty or not move. If a person makes an effort, then there is a risk of breaking the opening element in the core of the lock.

When individual parts wear out, they will cling to each other, blocking the rotation function. The main factor indicating a repair is turning the key.

Replacing the trunk lock on a VAZ-2113 2114 2115

The old mechanism has been removed, a new one needs to be installed. The process is the reverse of dismantling.

Attention! In order to save money, some Lada 2113 and 2114 owners advise disassembling the mechanism and replacing worn elements. Such repairs help temporarily.

The cylinder is replaced with the lock removed. You need to check the condition of the spring. If the element is weak, it needs to be replaced.

When installing a new element, you do not need to immediately tighten the bolts - the trunk will not close. It is recommended to adjust the position of the cover using the latches. The bolts are tightened slowly. This will allow you to make adjustments so that the lid closes tightly. You need to check the seals. When the elements wear out, the cover hits the body, creating vibrations.

The trunk lock of the Lada Samara family often fails. One simple modification will solve the problem. It is enough to install the product from Lada-Granta.

  1. Make a mount from a 40 x 40 mm corner.

  1. Install the cylinder plug on the lid.
  2. Connect the wires. “Power up” from the elements going to the wiper. One wire (white with a blue stripe) is connected to the lock drive, the other (yellow with a blue stripe) is connected to the limit switch.
  3. Install a new product, adjust it, make sure it works.

After these steps, we get a reliable and durable mechanism that will not open on its own and will not rattle.

Before starting work, you need to disconnect the (-) terminal from the battery for safety.

Recommendations

Reassembling and lubricating individual parts will not work if the fragments are heavily worn. It is better to remove the cylinder from the core and install a new one. Recommendations for replacing the VAZ 2114 door lock:

  1. Partial repairs or lubrication will only temporarily restore life to the closing mechanism. If problems arise, it is better to replace the entire cylinder.
  2. After installation, it is necessary to periodically lubricate the mechanism. Experienced motorists use silicone substances for this.
  3. The repair procedure is carried out in a well-lit room at a comfortable temperature.
  4. To change the element, you will need a set of screwdrivers, pliers and lubricant.
  5. Sometimes the springs have to be replaced along with the cylinder. They are purchased separately.

The cylinder fragment is sold as a set. The price depends on the manufacturer. If you buy a cheap Chinese version, it will cost about 150 rubles. It is better to give preference to VAZ spare parts. The cost of such a kit is 400-500 rubles.

How to open a frozen car lock

The lock cylinder (lock cylinder) is a type of lock security mechanism, in the form of a cylinder, the working part of which can be rotated in the body only when a key is inserted into the cylinder hole. The uninterrupted operation of the lock cylinder protects the car from unauthorized entry and protects the owner’s property. Therefore, a malfunction of the lock cylinder is a serious concern that requires an immediate solution, and many car enthusiasts are seriously thinking about how to change the lock cylinder of a VAZ 2114 with their own hands.

Withdrawal procedure

Depending on the reason, a complete or partial replacement is performed. It is not recommended for the average person to engage in reassembly, since there are too many nuances in this process, but almost anyone can replace the mechanism. Step-by-step instruction:

  1. Three screws are unscrewed. They are located on the inside of the handle. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover.
  2. The front trigger glass position switch is removed along with the wiring harness block. To do this, the wires are first disconnected.
  3. The plug on the armrest handle is removed, the element is picked up with a thin corner of a screwdriver.
  4. Unscrew the 2 screws on the handle that hold the inner panel.
  5. The plastic clips are pressed out to remove the lining.
  6. 6 pistons are removed to remove the door card.
  7. The external fastenings are removed, the nuts are unscrewed with an 8mm wrench.

The last action is to gain access to cravings.

How to remove cravings

To remove this piece, you will need an impact screwdriver and a size 8 wrench. The piece is attached to the internal locking mechanism and the lock switch. Algorithm of actions:

  1. The internal lock of the outer handle rod is completely disconnected.
  2. The handle is removed along with the rods.
  3. The pin is removed from the end of the rods.
  4. The plastic tip is removed from the core of the cylinder device.
  5. The return spring is removed. The old larva is being removed.

Usually the rods are fixed with plastic hinges, so they can be disconnected with a flat-head screwdriver.

How to remove the internal door lock

Replacing the internal door lock cylinder of VAZ-2114 and 2113 can be done quickly and efficiently even outside the service station. Those who decided to replace the device with the 2115 model should take into account that the body of the “tag” is slightly different from the 14 and 13 models.

To work you will need:

  1. Anti-corrosion aerosol WD-40.
  2. Open-end wrench set to "8".
  3. Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.
  4. A set of new cylinders and springs (sold separately).

Before changing the part, you will have to disassemble the door to remove the old mechanism.

Important! If there are bolts/nuts that cannot be loosened or are rusted, you should treat them with WD-40 40 minutes before removal.

Experienced car enthusiasts recommend recording the entire process on your phone. It makes sense to take step-by-step photographs of disassembling the door: this will help you quickly and without loss put it back together when the new cylinder is installed.

  1. You need to unscrew the three screws located at the bottom of the door trim. A Phillips screwdriver will help.

Installing a new part

The removal and assembly algorithm is the same, although the instructions for installing the cylinder mechanism have its own nuances. Before inserting a new cylinder into the core, the part is lubricated with a silicone substance and only then inserted into the handle. Further algorithm of actions:

  1. The return spring is inserted next to the cylinder.
  2. The functionality of the key is checked. It should turn easily in all positions.
  3. A pin is installed on the tip of the rotary rod. Connection is being made.
  4. The inner and outer panels are screwed on, the handles are fixed, and the plug is returned to its place.
  5. The main three screws are tightened from the inside.

You won’t have to change the lock cylinder for a long time if you carefully use the opening mechanism.

Trunk lock repair

As a rule, the trunk lock on VAZ cars lasts longer than door locks, which is caused by fewer openings/closings in an equal period of time. But, due to complete wear and tear (or loss of the keys), it still has to be replaced. In most cases, the lock mechanism itself, as well as its body, remains fully operational - only the cylinder into which the keys are directly inserted wears out. It will then need to be replaced with a new one.

To do this you will need:

  • crosshead screwdriver;
  • slotted screwdriver;
  • a set of keys.

The trunk lock cylinder of a VAZ 2114 is replaced as follows:

  1. Open the trunk.
  2. Remove the plastic rivets (“hedgehogs”) holding the plastic socket around the lock by picking them up with a slotted screwdriver or a special extractor.
  3. Remove the panel.
  4. Unscrew the fasteners holding the lock.
  5. Remove the lock.
  6. Unscrew the fastening screws holding the cylinder in the lock and remove it.
  7. Install a new cylinder inside the lock.

Reassembling the lock and installing it in place is performed in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.

New lock cylinders are sold with keys inserted into the keyhole. You should not remove them before the cylinder is installed inside the lock, since this threatens its individual elements falling out, which will be extremely difficult to install in place.

After the VAZ 2114 lock cylinder has been replaced and the lock itself has been installed in place, you should carefully inspect its counterpart, called the latch (the lock tongue goes behind it when the trunk is locked). In most cases, there is no need to replace the retainer because it has no moving parts and has a very long service life.

Replacement may only be necessary if a crack appears on the body of the clamp (it is made of silumin). The replacement process itself is simple and consists of unscrewing the old fastener and installing a new device.

The only thing you will need to pay attention to is the correct setting of the lock. To check its quality, you just need to close the trunk lid and see how it locks. If locking does not occur, it is too tight, or, on the contrary, a noticeable play is felt, then the lock is not adjusted.

To configure, you need:

  • loosen a pair of fastening bolts of the clamp;
  • close the trunk (at this moment the latch itself will adjust to the location of the lock tongue);
  • open the trunk;
  • tighten the retainer mounting bolts.

If after the adjustment procedure the trunk begins to lock even worse, then most likely the mating part of the locking element is skewed. It is enough to unscrew the fasteners, place it straight without moving the lock itself, tighten the bolts - and the trunk will be easy to lock.

Replacing and adjusting the trunk lock

The work is carried out in the following order:

  1. The casing is removed.
  2. Replace the support mechanism. If the lock's supporting tooth breaks. Replace not only the cylinder, but also the new body. In general, this work is no different from what needs to be done to repair a door lock.
  3. Adjustment is carried out using the lower clamp. Unscrew the nuts and remove the washers. Assembling and disassembling the lock will help you adjust the lock. In this case, you need to act using the selection method. The desired result is the moment when the door closes effortlessly and does not vibrate when slamming and driving the car.

More extensive work is required if the retainer bushing is broken. If you are changing the lock assembly, then before its fasteners are fully tightened, you need to adjust the latch. Only after the lock closes perfectly can you tighten the fastening nuts to the maximum.

Replacing door locks

If your car doors become difficult to lock or unlock, you may need to replace the door locks. In order to do this, you will need new locks, as well as the same set of tools as to replace the trunk lock.

Before changing the locks on a VAZ 2114, you should disconnect the “mass” terminal from the battery so as not to provoke a short circuit and even a car fire.

The replacement itself is carried out in the following order:

  1. Remove the door trim.
  2. Disconnect the rods connecting the outer door handle to the lock.
  3. Remove the pair of screws securing the inner handle of the lock.
  4. Using a slotted screwdriver, disconnect the rod from the inner handle of the lock.
  5. Remove the handle from the door along with the rod.
  6. Remove the outer part of the lock.
  7. Disconnect the central locking wires.
  8. Remove the lock from the technological cavity of the door.
  9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the pair of screws securing the switch.
  10. Rotate the switch until the slots on its lever align with the protrusions on the rod.
  11. Remove the switch.
  12. Squeeze the antennae of the plastic rod with slight force, and then dismantle it.
  13. Mark with a felt-tip pen the correct position of the latch on the door pillar.
  14. Remove the 3 screws holding the retainer in place (this is best done with an impact screwdriver).
  15. Remove the retainer and the shims underneath it.

Removing locks from other interior doors is done in exactly the same way. Reinstallation of locks and latches is carried out in the same order, but in reverse order.

That being said, there are a few important points to keep in mind.

  • First, before installation, all metal parts of the lock should be lubricated with thick lubricant.
  • Secondly, if necessary, you should adjust the length of the pull of the external handle - in this case, you need to ensure that the lock can be locked with a key without any difficulty.
  • Thirdly, you should adjust the new latch in the same way as when replacing the trunk lock.

Reasons for replacing the lock cylinder on a VAZ

Most often, the lock cylinder in the doors of VAZ-2113, 2114 and 2115 has to be changed in the following cases:

  1. In case of defects or breakages of the locking ring or fixing post. Both of these parts are located in a plastic rod cap and are easily destroyed under the influence of an aggressive external environment - during large temperature changes, in the cold season, etc. The problem is often discovered when a car owner tries to open the car in cold weather. The key starts to turn, but the mechanism does not work. If the cylinder is additionally loaded at this moment (for example, by pressing the door, knocking on it, pushing or pulling), the part will come out of the handle socket.
  2. When worn. During the operation of the car, the internal pins of the device wear out and when you try to turn the key in the cylinder, the parts begin to cling to each other, which ultimately leads to their destruction.
  3. If the car owner decides to upgrade the door handles or install European locks.
