Why does the trunk open on a VAZ 2114?

How to open a VAZ 2114 without a key?
There may be situations in everyone's life when, due to an awkward accident, the car keys remain inside a slammed car. Usually, a spare set of keys is out of reach (at home, at work, on the other side of town) or is completely absent. What should a would-be motorist do in this case without the help of a locksmith? We’ll look further in our article. The creation of the Russian automobile industry, represented by the VAZ 2114, unlike its earlier predecessors, is equipped with cylindrical plugs on the door, which eliminates the option of opening the door using a rope or fishing line. In this case, ordinary iron wire will come to our rescue.

So, the sequence of actions will be as follows:

1. It's no secret that the density of the VAZ 2114 interior is achieved by using a rubber glass seal. To fix the glass, a seal is laid at its base: between the door frame and specifically the window glass. To get inside the car, we need to carefully pry the edge of the seal (from the side of the locking mechanism) and pull it out of the groove. It is most convenient to pry off the material with a narrow, flat object (a nail file, a flat screwdriver or a narrow penknife). It is absolutely not necessary to pull out the entire seal, because for subsequent manipulations a few cm of free space will be enough for us.
2. Next we will need to find a suitable piece of metal wire. Its length should be no less than the height of the door. At the end of the rod you need to make a 2-3 cm long bend at an angle of 45 0.
3. Now you can proceed specifically to the “opening” procedure itself. We insert the bent end of the wire into the door gap prepared in advance until it collides with the “obstacle”. This is usually the locking mechanism. Next, you need to gently twist, advance, and shift the wire to find a way around the lock. When you feel that the rod has “failed,” you need to carefully move the wire so that the curved end catches on the lever of the locking mechanism. Carefully pull the wire upward to open the doors.

Adjusting the trunk of a VAZ will help get rid of the annoying rattling noise in the rear of the car during a trip. Many car enthusiasts who bought one of the VAZ models have a question: what to do about this noise? Attempts to change the lock most often lead to failure; nothing changes. What measures should be taken in this case?

What actions should be taken if the key is left in the car?

The first question that a driver asks himself when he discovers that the car key is left in the cabin: how to open a VAZ 2114 in an easy and simple way without a key? The easiest way would be to call home and ask for an additional set of keys. If there is no one at home, you can call a special service that provides such services, but you will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles for such a service. But it’s realistic to find other ways to open a car without keys:

1. Using wire of appropriate length. Using a rigid wire at least 70 cm long, you can easily open the door. For this method, you should use a metal ruler, but such an object can rarely be seen nearby, of course, if the car owner does not steal other people's cars. Therefore, we will look at opening car doors using a wire. So, having found a piece of metal wire, you need to do the following:

• make a kind of bend at one end, which should resemble a hook for a fishing rod;
• the end with the bend must be carefully inserted between the seal and the glass, trying to pick up the door rod. Of course, such an operation is not so simple, and most often it is not completed successfully the first time. But one of the attempts will definitely succeed and help open the car door;
• You should not try to use thin wire for this method, as it will simply bend, and a thicker product will not be able to be inserted into a small slot.

1. Using a thin fishing line, but always strong. In a similar way, you can try to open a car door using a fishing line, which should be thin and at the same time strong enough. A small loop is made at the end of the fishing line, and this end is pushed into the gap between the body and the door seal. Having inserted the fishing line inside, you need to move it in different directions until it wraps around the loop of the door flag. Next, all that remains is to pull the ends of the fishing line so that the flag rises up. This method of opening doors is suitable if the car is equipped with a special flag, with which the car door is closed.
2. You can also try to open the door of the VAZ-2114 using a tennis ball in which a hole is made. To do this you need to do the following:

• press the tennis ball firmly against the car door lock, making sure that the hole where the key is inserted exactly matches the hole of the tennis ball;
• press the ball sharply so that a stream of air enters the inside of the castle;
• the air that gets inside should raise the door flag, which will help open the car door.

Many car owners claim that opening the trunk is much easier, and a key from another VAZ model will help with this. To do this, you just need to contact the driver of the other car and ask to use his keys.

Of course, you can simply break the glass, but in the future you will have to spend money on a new one, and not everyone will be able to break tempered glass the first time. In addition, this method of opening the door often leads to injury, so when deciding on it, you must first protect your face and hands.

Occurrence of a problem

The new-fashioned body design of many VAZ models was the beginning of problems. In many cars, owners notice unpleasant noises and pops from the rear of the body. These loud noises occur when the car goes over bumps and the trunk door begins to knock. Most likely, this defect resulted from the fact that the car was tested in conditions suitable for travel - on a flat road surface. Under ideal conditions, it is difficult to notice that the locking plate or stem is not in the correct position. In addition, the gap usually appears only after driving on poor-quality surfaces due to vibration that occurs at the joints.

Another reason is wear of the closing mechanism. Because of this problem, the trunk of the VAZ 2114 opens while driving. The same situation occurs in other models. This happens because the locking tooth of the lock is either broken or almost completely worn out. It would seem that what’s wrong with this, because you can go and change the lock for a new one. But the problem will remain unless the approach to it is changed. The main locking mechanism must be replaced with a different type of device.

Also, the reasons that the trunk opens spontaneously while the car is moving may be the breakdown of silumin parts or wear of the seal.

In any case, the mechanism will have to be changed, but to what?

How to remove an old lock

The process of removal and replacement on hatchback (2113, 2114) and sedan (2115) cars is different, although the principle of operation is the same.

The procedure for removing the mechanism on a VAZ-2114:

1. Remove the plastic cover. The upholstery is attached to 10 pistons, which just need to be pryed off with a screwdriver. Access to the mechanism will open.

Removing the trunk lid

1. Unscrew the 2 bolts with an “8” key. The action must be carried out carefully; on one side there are terminals responsible for the windshield wiper and brake light on the spoiler.

Unscrewing 2 bolts

1. Remove the faulty element.

If the lid does not close, adjustment is required.

Removing and replacing the trunk lock of the VAZ-2115 sedan:

1. Remove the plastic cover by unfastening the pistons.
2. Access to the faulty part is open; the drive rod needs to be straightened. Unscrew the corresponding screw (not all the way). Remove the rod from the bushing.

Trunk lid lock drive

1. Go to the cylinder lever. Remove the mechanism rod and remove it.
2. Unscrew the 3 nuts of the product and dismantle it. Unscrew the cylinder mounting bolt and remove.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Main components of the electric trunk lock drive

It is best to connect the electric lock drive to a conventional mechanism in order to be able to automatically and mechanically open the luggage compartment of the car. Electric drives for VAZ cars exist in two types: on an electric motor and on magnetic plates. Due to its high performance characteristics, the first type is more in demand and popular among owners of domestic cars. But a drive made on magnetic plates is easier to install.

The electric drive consists of the following elements:

• contact relay;
• fuse;
• stock;
• buttons.

The advantages of this design are obvious: increased protection of the luggage compartment, which will become a real obstacle to an attacker; the trunk lock of the VAZ 2114 will work stably and in most cases without failure.

Installing an electric lock can be done in various ways. However, for it to function correctly, an alarm system must be installed on the car.

The body design of most domestic cars has some weakness - while the car is moving with an oncoming air flow, all the dirt, dust, and sand actively pollute the “stern”. In this case, the lock itself becomes clogged with small particles, which in the future results in a lot of problems with its functioning. So how to make a trunk from a VAZ 2114 button correctly?

Installation instructions for the electric trunk lock

If you are lucky with the standard lock, it locks and holds the tailgate well, then there is no need to change it.

In this case, you must have with you:

• window lifter roller;
• door activator;
• steel cable;
• wires with terminals;
• relay with four contacts;
• 10 A fuse.

To automate the opening of the trunk, it is necessary to ensure that the lock latch is pulled. For this purpose, a special roller is installed on the wiper gear housing. The steel cable is pulled through the roller and secured with conventional clamps. Experienced riders often use a bicycle cable because it is durable and flexible. Using it you can quite easily connect the door activator to the lock tongue.

You can connect the entire structure to the cigarette lighter if you do not have the proper knowledge of the car's electrical circuit. You just need to connect the plus from the cigarette lighter to the button and then to the lock. The negative comes from the taillight. Or carry out the operation of the trunk lock 2114 using a special relay.

Instructions for dismantling and replacing the mechanism

Buy a suitable device. You can choose the appropriate part for your Lada Granta car. This is a good option because it has an electric drive and a limit switch. Unfortunately, when installing a part of this option, you will have to install your own fastening; you can make it from a small steel angle, for example, 40 * 40 * 4 mm. The corner can be cut with a suitable tool, for example, a grinder

It is important to consider the size of the purchased device, as well as the location where it will be installed. The manufactured metal part must be coated with a suitable color. Then plug the hole from the previously installed lock. To do this, you can use the plug from the manual window lifter. It also needs to be painted the same color. If during installation of the product it was necessary to get rid of the wiper, you can use the wires coming from it and connect one to the drive of the part, and the second to the connector of the mounting block. Return the bracket and tighten the finished fixation device.

Algorithm for installing the electric drive of the trunk lid lock

The electric trunk drive of the VAZ 2115 and VAZ 2114 is best installed from the standard kit.

For installation you need to prepare:

1. A cable made of metal material. Its dimensions are 1.5 mm by 0.5 m.
2. Several wires, about 5 meters long each, for contact connection.
3. Self-tapping bolts.
4. Contact groups from the terminal block.
5. Button to open the lock.
6. Holder and fuse.

Electric lock
It works like this:

1. You need to fix the bushing with a key 7 and use a screwdriver to unscrew the locking screw of the traction mechanism. Place a washer under the screw.
2. From the prepared kit with an electric drive, make a hook with a diameter of about 20 mm. Hook this part onto the lock screw and the electrical wire strip. Install the relay on the trunk using self-tapping bolts.
3. Fasten the plate to the activator, leaving a gap of about 15 mm, and then install the activator directly. This is done using self-tapping bolts.
4. From the prepared cable, make a rod that will connect the lever of the product to the rack. Connect the part with the locking mechanism and the fabrication tongue.
5. When connecting the wires, the cable can be routed using the installation of a roller mechanism, which is located in the window regulator. The remaining wires need to be hidden under the ceiling of the car, pulled under the interior trim.
6. Next comes the usual connection to the battery and installation of the fuse.

2 Removing and replacing the trunk door lock of a VAZ 2114

To carry out repairs and remove the lock, you need to have a set of standard screwdrivers and a 8-mm wrench. Before starting work, you need to remove the trunk door trim, which is attached to the metal part with ten plastic clips with threads along the entire perimeter, and the plastic lock casing.

Now take out the trim, unscrew the nut securing the lock to the panel and unscrew the ground wires, brake light and rear wiper gearbox. Next, unscrew the right nut and remove the internal lock from the fasteners. Assess the condition of the spring - if it is compressed or weak, it needs to be replaced. In addition to the spring, you can also check the condition of the internal lock cylinder.

Remember that the lock on the VAZ 2114 cannot be disassembled, so if the core or supporting mechanism has failed, partial repairs will most likely not help; the lock must be completely replaced. Installing a new lock is carried out in the reverse order of removal, and before fully tightening the fastening bolts, adjust the position of the door using the clamps and only then tighten the bolts to the maximum.

As for the hood lock for this model, the most common problem is a break in the hood traction mechanism (cable), which needs to be replaced. If the break occurs on the interior side, the hood lock can be repaired using pliers, which should be used to pull out the cable and install a new one in its place.

If the cable breaks on the outside of the hood, it is more difficult to pull it out; to do this, you will have to crawl under the hood and pull the mechanism to the left side. If the hood lock is simply frozen, use special liquids or a hair dryer to heat it. If this does not help, you can try to open the hood lock with a flat-head screwdriver from the radiator side if there are no plastic deflectors.

Replacing the cover yourself

To remove the trunk door you will need:

• knob;
• set of socket heads;
• slotted screwdriver;
• set of open-end wrenches.

Before starting work, you should disconnect the ground terminal (negative) from the battery in order to eliminate the possibility of a short circuit.

Replacement procedure

The replacement of the VAZ 2114 trunk lid itself is carried out in the following order:

1. Open the tailgate and secure it with a suitable size prop.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry the mounting location of the upper hinge of the gas-filled stop, press it inside the trunk and disconnect it.

Removing the upper trunk mount of a VAZ 2114

1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry up the lower fastening of the gas-filled stop and also disconnect it.

Removing the gas stop

1. In a similar way, remove the second gas stop.
2. Unscrew the fasteners and remove the brackets used to secure the stops.

Unscrew the brackets

1. Check the condition and straightness of the stops themselves - if they are bent or deformed, then you should purchase new ones and install them during reassembly.
2. Using a slotted screwdriver or a special puller, pry and remove the 10 pins securing the tailgate trim.
3. Remove the trim.

Removing the casing

Repair of interior door locks

Central lock VAZ 2114

Losing keys or jamming a lock is an unpleasant situation for any car enthusiast. Do not break the door or locking mechanism. Carefully open the door so as not to damage the rods and the body of the locking mechanism. After this, proceed to the rest of the work. Instructions for removing and replacing the Euro handle cylinder are as follows:

1. Remove the door trim. This job won't take much effort, but be careful not to damage the material.
2. Disconnecting the rods is one of the most difficult parts of the job. Pick up the bottom one with pliers and remove it from the handle. Then it is easy to insert it back. To remove the top one, press the screwdriver against the handle, thread the unnecessary wire through the rod and pull sharply. Without a screwdriver, the rod will bend.
3. Using a 8 key, unscrew the handle.
4. Before further work, remember the position of the lock. Pull out the pin from the side and remove the rod.
5. Remove the spring and pull out the cylinder.
6. Lubricate the groove where the cylinder was located with WD-40.
7. The new cylinder is supplied with the key. Do not remove it until the lock is installed. Sometimes a new part needs to be carefully finished with a file. This happens if it is made in China or is simply of poor quality.
8. If the pin does not fit into the hole freely, then you need to lightly file the place for it.

Assembly occurs in reverse order. Don't forget to connect the rods and check the lock's functionality before you lock the car for the first time. This work will take you no more than an hour. The trim is always installed last, after adjusting the locking mechanism.

Adjusting the tailgate lock.

1. We unscrew the lock lock so that it can be moved with light force.
2. Now you need to close the door and look through the glass to ensure that the lock spike is opposite the latch socket.
3. After this, we move the latch all the way back and slam the door. This will ensure the lock lock is in the optimal position.
4. Open the door and tighten the bolts securing the clamp in the position in which it was installed.
5. It is also necessary to check that the door closes. If the door does not close tightly. then you need to remove the adjusting plate from under the clamp.
6. If the door closes too tightly, on the contrary, you need to add a plate under the latch.

You can make the adjustment plates yourself from tin or sheet iron.

Replacement options

The first option is banal to the point of impossibility - buy a similar lock. Moreover, you will need to buy the entire lock, and not a separate part, because the design of the mechanism is non-separable. Replacement is carried out when the old lock is completely dismantled. This solution should be considered temporary, since the production technology is the same and the problems will remain. Over time, a new lock will have to be replaced. The only positive side of this solution is that it is quite cheap.

The second option involves completely replacing the mechanical lock with an electrically controlled drive. What does this give?

1. Secure trunk closure.
2. Possibility to control the position of the rear door from the driver's seat.

Installing such a system is not the cheapest pleasure, but the final result will really please the user. The electronic drive is much more convenient to use and is a reliable replacement for its mechanical counterpart.

Dismantling the old castle

Before replacing, you will have to dismantle the old closing mechanism, and this is not so easy.

The VAZ 2114 model will be taken as an example.

The following tools will be useful in your work:

• set of Phillips screwdrivers;
• key to 8.

The replacement sequence is as follows:

1. First of all, in order not to damage the interior lining of the trunk, we remove ten plastic fasteners, and then the plastic casing from the lock.
2. We remove the casing, then unscrew the nut that secures the lock in place.
3. Unscrew the wires that are in the way.
4. Next, you need to unscrew the right fastening nut and remove the inner part of the lock from the fastenings.
5. You can inspect the integrity of the spring and core. If these parts are defective, then the problem is in the mechanism. In any case, everything will have to be changed.

If you prefer the economical option of replacing it with a new mechanical lock, then install it in the reverse order as described.

Drive installation

Adjusting the position of the trunk lid is possible if, instead of a mechanical lock, you install an electronic device, in this case a drive. To install it you will need:

• universal drive installation kit for the machine;
• metal cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm and 500 mm long;
• two contact connection wires of 4.5 m each;
• screws with wide heads;
• opening button for the lock;
• retainer;
• fuse;

We install the drive in the prepared place, according to the instructions. Next, you will have to make several amendments to the design:

The VAZ trunk is opened by pressing a button that can be installed in the cabin.

In some cases (for example, if you want to do tuning or if there is damage resulting from an accident), owners of the 14th are faced with the need to replace the trunk lid (door). In today's article we will talk about how to remove the trunk lid of a VAZ 2114, what you will need for this, as well as how to properly adjust it after installation.

Replacing the trunk lid of a VAZ 2114

Kalinovsky trunk lock for VAZ 2114

I encountered a problem that the trunk lid with the factory lock began to open at the slightest effort. Therefore, I decided to change the trunk lock. My choice fell on the lock from the viburnum, I didn’t install from the grants because I wanted to leave the rear wiper. And so, what is required to install a lock from a viburnum: 1. The lock itself + the mate 2. Solenoid 3. The plug for the window lifter hole (it covers the hole from the factory lock cylinder) 4. A grinder And so let’s begin. I bought the lock from Viburnum, but I took the counter part from grants because... the bracket itself is thicker.

CastleAnswer from Granta She had to work a little on the sandpaper so that she could climb into the castle

We will have to saw off the parts we don’t need from the lock (well, they are unnecessary, they are needed for the viburnum, but we don’t need them) and remove the electric drive because It will open with the help of a solenoid rod.

The cutting line, we saw off everything above it. This is what happened. I made a hole in the body to remove the draft from it. Started fitting

Someone bends the brackets on the answers, but in my opinion this is not good, so I simply drilled out the existing holes.

This is what happened

And began the adjustment. The lock itself fits into the rear wiper mount without any problems.

Moment of adjustment

Here I was already glad that almost everything was finished, but when I closed the trunk, I saw that because of the lock the door did not fit tightly, I decided to saw off the bracket from the answer and digest it. By the way, I had never cooked before, I had to go to my neighbor and ask him to brew it, but in the end I cooked it myself using a semi-automatic device.

Don’t judge strictly, this is my first experience. If I could, I would make it prettier.

We move on to the outer part of the trunk lid, namely sealing the hole (hole) from the cylinder of the old lock.

This is what the plug looks like. A little glue and the plug falls into its rightful place. Well, everything is ready

You will ask me why I didn’t write anything about opening the trunk with a button, it’s all very simple, I already had a solenoid and that’s why I didn’t have to connect anything. And the Internet is full of connection diagrams. Thank you all for your attention, good luck and full tank!

The process of installing a lock on a VAZ 2109

Ignition switch VAZ 2107: connection diagram, replacement, how to remove, instructions with photos and videos

This is where the fun begins - either I’m lucky, or others have had less luck, but it turned out that the lock from Kalina fits perfectly onto the bracket, which is already screwed to the boat under the rear wiper motor. True, I had to bend the petals a little and drill holes (from the trunk side). I found a photo of Kalina's castle and showed the excess parts with a dotted line - cut them off using a grinder or a hacksaw.

I immediately felt the disadvantage of this bracket - the connection is a little flimsy, so the lock can move and, as a result, the trunk of the Nine will not close. To make the connection stronger, you need a major corner. During my search, I came across a plate with perforation. I made a corner out of it and cut a hole for the lock lever (which opens the trunk). In the photo you can see this corner. You install it on the lyada and attach a lock to it. The rigidity is sufficient, so the door will not open while moving.

However, even if you use the first bracket, the likelihood of opening the trunk is extremely low. And now about the answer. In the photo you can see that it is screwed with the same bolts as the original one, into the same holes. One thing - I had to lift it slightly, for this I used two washers installed under the nuts of the cylinder head cover of the classic. They form beautifully, have a large support area, and the loop ultimately does not move to the sides.

To implement the electric drive for opening the Kalina lock on the VAZ 2109, a gearmotor with two wires was chosen. There is no point in taking five - there is no need for a limit switch. Check how the drive works - the rod is in the middle position, when connected to power (minus to blue, plus to green) it is retracted, when the polarity is reversed it is pulled out. Therefore, dance according to these parameters; for me it turned out to be more convenient to use the retraction mode, since it seems to me the most suitable.

Either now everyone has started actively repairing their cars, and at the same time their houses, but I couldn’t find a wire with a cross-section of about 0.75 square meters. mm. Well, maximum one and a half! Not anywhere, there is a yellow-green one (for grounding), and even that one is 2.5 square meters. mm. Therefore, the choice fell on a two-core one, the cross-section of each core is 0.5 square meters. mm. The Chinese usually use these in their household tape recorders. I screwed the gear motor to the bar and installed it on the trunk door. I screwed it onto the lock lever; to be honest, I don’t know what to call it correctly. Let this be an adapter that connects the lock rods and the drive spoke. This will probably be correct, but if not, then correct me. In the photo they are on the left in a bag.

These are the holes that appeared after I removed all the “unnecessary” stuff. And now all that’s left to do is to install the wires in the following sequence: cigarette lighter – button – motor output (green). The blue one, as you understand, needs to be screwed to the ground, fortunately there are plenty of bolts and nuts there. And the funny thing is that I removed the wiper and I already have at least three wires down to the steering column switches! I call and the choice falls on white with a blue stripe, and I use it as a feeder. And the purchased wire will be useful for something else. That's all, you try, evaluate, if necessary, loosen the fastening and move the lock body in the desired direction. And now one small “bonus”. There is a limit switch on Kalina's trunk lock, and I plan to use it to turn on the trunk lighting. I think the blue LED strip will be just right.

And to do everything as expected, you will have to use this circuit with a relay. The likelihood of damage to the button is reduced to zero. And the time has come to sum up and count the costs:

• Castle Kalina sedan - 450 rubles.
• The response part is 135 rubles.
• Electric drive - 170 rub.
• Button - 60 rub.
• Wire - 50 rub.
• Plank - 33 rub.
• Total - 898 rubles.

Additional modernization of locks

If you dream of your car doors opening and closing as smoothly as in foreign cars, try installing silent locks. Such a device can be installed on any model of Zhiguli. For representatives of the retro era, such modernization is also possible, but the locks themselves will have to be filed a little. By the way, you can also put it on the trunk. In general, there is no limit to perfection.

And the installation is, in truth, very simple and transparent. It is enough to dismantle the old locks, try not to drop the necessary elements inside the door, or remove the trim in advance. And then install new analogues on two bolts. There are situations when, after installation, the door does not close tightly or warps slightly, causing cracks to form. Solving the problem is also very simple by adjusting the location of the device. In general, initially try to secure it exactly where the old one was.
