Euro handles for VAZ 2114

The main problematic issues with cars from the Lada Samara 2 series and those released earlier include the breakdown of the external door handle keys. As a rule, this kind of trouble happens in winter. Due to temperature changes or water getting into the locking mechanism, the larva freezes and it is simply impossible to open the lock. Trying to get into the car, most of us begin to apply force, breaking off the trigger in the process.

Door handles

Euro handles for the VAZ 2114 are an excellent solution to the problem. They look much more attractive, give the car an aesthetic appearance, and help open doors softly. In addition, the products are reliable. Their mechanism is more advanced and has a straight girth. This helps create a reinforced lever arm, keeping the mechanism itself from breaking. The technology is successfully used on foreign-made machines.

Today, the car market represents domestic manufacturers of Euro pens under the brands “Lynx” and “Tune-Auto”. They produce door handles both painted in the color of the body part and unpainted. Specially durable plastic material is used for production.

Handles "Lynx"

They differ from the standard factory-installed counterparts in their ergonomic shapes and a completely new mechanical device for opening the door - a direct-grip method used on many vehicles of European origin.


Made from durable polyamide, often used in automotive construction. Pens are popular for their significant resource and ease of use. The models take into account the features of use at low temperatures. Such handles are mounted normally to ensure force; the body of the fasteners is coated with sealant or fixed with double-sided tape. The reliability of the fastening guarantees long-term operation. The Euro handle will improve the style of the vehicle quite well; installing it will not cause any particular difficulties.

"White cloud"

One of the handle options from Tune-Auto. They improve the exterior of the machine, are comfortable to use, and installation is not difficult. But they are rarely recommended for installation, as the color looks unconvincing. And after a few years of use, the chrome begins to peel off.

Installation procedure

To avoid having to change the locking elements, it is recommended to use cylinders from old handles.


Before inserting them into new handles, you need to wipe the body from dust accumulations with a clean rag and apply lubricant to the surface. The Euro pen should be installed in the reverse order of the work carried out to remove the original. Fastening is carried out using two nuts, under which wide washers and old grommets are placed.

To prevent the handle from damaging the paintwork of the door, a gasket is installed under it. The fastening nuts are tightened, at this time it is recommended to monitor the tightening force so that the plastic fasteners do not burst. After this, the opening rods and unlocking of the locking mechanism are installed. Installation is complete, the handle can be tested for functionality. After opening and closing the door, you need to make sure that the lock works.

If the car is equipped with a central lock, then it is likely that you will need to adjust the length of the rod that locks the door. Before performing this procedure, you must try to close the door in different ways:

  • using a key;
  • internal latch;
  • keychain

If everything works fine, you can begin assembly. If the traction is not enough, it should be slightly bent with pliers and the functionality of the lock should be checked again. The installation of the rear handle is slightly different in that the opening rod is fixed with a screw, and the length is adjusted by bending. To do everything correctly, apply the rod to an analogue of another door and adjust it to length.

Replacing simple door handles with euro ones is quite easy; practice has proven that no special skills are required for this. Products should be selected carefully, since their quality condition will directly affect the duration of operation.

Installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 with your own hands

Tuning is a common phenomenon among modern motorists. But if some fully fit into the design of the engine, chassis and other units that affect the speed and power of the car, then others prefer external tuning. The installation of Euro handles on the VAZ 2114 is a prime example of this.

What are Euro pens?

It is impossible to say for sure why they are called Euro pens. Apparently, this somehow relates to European cars, Western auto production. Let's be honest, the factory door handles on the “fourteenth” are far from being an example of automotive design art.

Handles "Lynx"

Despite the fairly extensive range of Euro handles suitable for the VAZ 2114, domestic owners of the “fourteenth” most prefer to use the “Lynx” kits. These are high-quality, reliable products with excellent design, smooth lines, streamlining, and excellent grip comfort.


Handles Lynx

Plus, of course, quality plays a big role in the popularity of accessories. Here it is not possible to make any claims to the Lynx Euro handles for the VAZ 2114 car.

Varieties

The Lynx Euro pens have a factory designation, which determines the differences between the sets.

  1. IN 1 . This designation indicates that the package contains four handles - two rear and two front. In this case, the front larvae do not have.
  2. AT 2 . There are also four handles, a pair for the rear and front doors. Only here the larvae are present.

The second option is preferable for those who value quality, visual appeal, but at the same time reliability. After all, the presence of a cylinder will give you the opportunity to open the car with a key if problems arise with the alarm or key fob.

Quality checking

Whether it be Lynx or European pens from another manufacturer, you definitely need to make sure of the quality of the products offered to you. There are some useful tips for this.

  1. Buy directly from good stores rather than ordering online. Today it is important to order many spare parts online. But the problem is that you won't be able to see or touch them until delivery. If we are talking about online ordering, check the reliability of this online store, read reviews about it, study the nuances of delivery and payment. The best option is to pay the courier on the spot. This way you can first look at the handles, and only then, if everything is good, pay for the order. Well, when you are in a regular store, there will be nothing difficult in studying spare parts in detail.
  2. Package. Surprisingly, it is important to pay attention to the packaging. Factory products must have barcodes, certificate marks, full instructions, a warranty, and so on.
  3. Contents. If each pen is packaged in a separate bag, this indicates a responsible approach by the manufacturer. After all, the transportation process takes a lot of time, and you yourself know the quality of our roads. Constant shaking leads to friction between parts, which leads to scratches and damage. Separate packaging will prevent this from happening.
  4. Instructions. Good manufacturers provide detailed instructions for installing them along with Euro handles. There is nothing complicated about this, but the very fact of the presence of this instruction already speaks volumes.
  5. Quality . Alas, it cannot always be determined visually. Nowadays low-grade materials are so skillfully disguised that only laboratory tests can help you in some cases. As for European pens specifically, the best guarantee of quality is purchasing products from a trusted manufacturer. Such as Lynx, for example.

Installation

Installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is a lengthy process. Get ready to devote a whole day to this issue. It is best to learn the disassembly and assembly sequence using visual videos.

The stages of installing euro handles are as follows:

  • The door trim is removed. This is a rather lengthy task that can take up the most time among all other processes. Don’t forget, the casing still needs to be put in place later.
  • There is no need to drill, saw or cook anything. The only exceptions are those Euro handles that are not intended for the VAZ 2114. They are adjusted, something is cut out. Complex and sometimes pointless tuning. Today there are many excellent Euro handles that fit perfectly on the “fourteenth” model without unnecessary manipulations during the installation process.
  • Each new part is installed in place of the standard one.
  • It is advisable to arm yourself with additional fasteners for the trim in advance, since an inexperienced car owner can damage them during disassembly or reinstallation. They are cheap, but can come in handy at any time when replacing Euro pens.
  • After removing the old handles, be sure to clean the socket and treat the surfaces with polish. After this, proceed to install new elements. There is nothing complicated there if you remember the dismantling process well.
  • The penultimate stage is reassembly.
  • The process of installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is completed by cleaning new accessories and putting things in order inside and outside the car.

Euro pens are a simple but effective way to look at your car differently. Initially, it seems that installing such elements will have little effect on the appearance. But after installation you realize how different the car looks. Such a small accessory has a very positive effect on the VAZ 2114. This is a good and fairly simple type of tuning.

Installing euro handles on a VAZ 2114

Many people tune their cars, some increase their speed characteristics, while others prefer to improve the appearance and increase the comfort of using their personal cars. This type of tuning includes Euro handles for the VAZ 2114.

What are Euro pens

Factory door handles for the VAZ 2114 are not particularly convenient or beautiful in design. Euro pens are an excellent replacement for them. They are called that because the idea of ​​design and operating principle was taken from Western automakers. Such handles have long been used on many cars of European brands.

Opening the door with their help is very simple; you do not need to press the lever under the handle, as with the factory solution. To open, just pull the handle itself and the mechanism will work, after which it will return to its original position.

This principle of operation allows the Euro pens 2114 to look quite attractive and minimalistic. They do not have any protruding elements, buttons that need to be pressed or levers that need to be pulled. The lock cylinder is installed in the handle (in VAZ 2114 euro handles for front doors) and that’s it, the rest of the mechanism is hidden and cannot be detected at first glance.

Most often, car enthusiasts prefer Euro handles for the VAZ 2114 Lynx. Compared to other kits, they are painted in body color, have a fairly nice appearance and are quite reliable. The mechanism itself has been working without problems for more than three years, but the paint on them is susceptible to high-pressure washing and loses ground earlier, with frequent washing.

But in general, the manufacturing quality of these handles is very high and even higher than that of the factory version. Often, the installation of Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is carried out after the standard ones have broken down.

Also, Euro pens “Lynx” can be presented in two sets to choose from, marked B1 and B2, they mean the following:

  1. B1 – in this kit the front handles do not have key lock cylinders.
  2. B2 – in a box with this marking, the front handles are with larvae.

Everyone makes the choice between them themselves, someone needs the most beautiful appearance, then your choice is box B1, the absence of lock cylinders gives a cleaner bow, there is no pit and no shiny metal part, to which the eye immediately clings.

B2 provides greater reliability, if suddenly something happens to the car alarm or the battery runs out, access to the car can be obtained using the key, unlike the B1 version, where in this case you will have to climb into the car through the trunk.

How to check the quality of Euro handles on a VAZ 2114

Before purchasing any euro handles, you need to make sure of the quality of their performance; after all, they must provide uninterrupted access to the car under any conditions. It will be a shame not to get into the car in the cold because of low-quality handles, for which you also paid extra.

In order to be confident in the quality of the purchased components for your car, you need to:

  1. Buy spare parts in good, trusted stores and do not pay for the product before you have looked at it. For example, in your city you may not have exactly the Euro pens you wanted or your color. You will have to order them online, then it is better to look at the reviews of those who have already bought there or ask for delivery by courier to check everything before making payment.
  2. Look at the packaging; the manufacturer will not pack a quality product in poor packaging. In addition, it must have markings, certificate marks, and so on. The kit must include detailed, complete instructions and a warranty card.
  3. Appearance is also very important; various defects indicate the irresponsible approach of the manufacturer, if he allows this in the appearance of his product, what can be said about the reliability that he has built into the handle mechanism.

After you have chosen and purchased a kit in which you are completely confident, you can go to a car service center. Installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is a fairly inexpensive procedure and many service stations often carry it out, so they will not have any problems with it.

But you can do everything yourself.
