The door does not open either from the inside or from the outside on the VAZ 2114: reasons and remedies

Almost every modern person has his own car. This is not surprising, because having a car is much easier and, most importantly, more convenient, you can get to any place both in the city and in the suburbs. In order for your iron four-wheeled friend to work properly and not let its owner down on the road, you should definitely monitor its technical condition. And minor breakdowns can be repaired by every car owner who has at least minimal experience in repair work.

How to open and repair a jammed door of a VAZ 2109?

The question of how to open a jammed door of a VAZ-2109 arises among motorists quite rarely. Many of them do not encounter such a problem during the entire life of the car. The reason is that the locking mechanisms on the doors of the VAZ of the “ninth” family are quite reliable and rarely fail. But sometimes they also malfunction, causing the door to jam and making it difficult to open. There are several ways to do this without resorting to extreme measures in the form of an angle grinder, so that you can then fix the problem without consequences.

What to do if the door from the outside of the VAZ-2115 does not open

Door opening method

If the VAZ-2109 door does not open from any side, then the cause of the breakdown is difficult to determine, since there is absolutely no access to the lock mechanism.

A somewhat simplified version of the breakdown occurs when the door does not slam shut completely and gets stuck in that position. Then it is possible to reach the latch from the outside with a sharp object.

To open a jammed door, you must first perform the following steps:

When the sash is not completely slammed, try to get to the locking device using a steel flat ruler. It may be possible to open it in a similar way to conventional door locks with a latch.
If the door is completely closed, try to move it to the slightly open position to gain access to the lock. To do this, try pressing the inside and outside handles together or alternately, while simultaneously pushing the door from the inside.
Try opening the back door with a helper, who will press and release it to get it into position while you try to open the lock.

When simple means do not produce results, the door will have to be opened from inside the cabin, which will require removing its trim.

Correct adjustment of locks

To make the adjustment correctly, you need to know the action plan step by step:

Lighten the tension of the bolts that secure the door lock.
It will be good if you use a pencil to mark the contours of the retainer on the body pillar.
The direction of shift of the latch is based on the situation: if the door closes too tightly, then it is moved outward, inward - if the door closes weakly.
Vertical regulation occurs according to a simple relationship: if the door goes down, then the latch needs to be moved up, if the door goes up, then the latch needs to be released.

Door lock VAZ 2109

In practice, this is not easy to do, because the casing is pressed by the sash and it is difficult to pull it out without damage. But there is still no other way out: it is better to damage the inner panel than to mutilate the door itself.

To dismantle the decorative panel, you need to unscrew the armrest handle with a screwdriver, and then the storage shelf located at the bottom of the door card. Then the button that secures the lock from above is unscrewed and removed. Lastly, the window lifter handle and the opening handle frame are removed. Now you need to carefully separate the lining from the body using a pair of flathead screwdrivers and another suitable tool. You may be able to remove the trim without visible damage.

When the decorative panel is removed, access to the lock mechanism from the inside opens, although getting to it is inconvenient. Immediately check whether the rod running from the handle to the lock has fallen off. This is a fairly common malfunction that can be fixed with little effort. Put the rod in place and open the door.

The door on the outside of the VAZ 2114 does not open: reasons, how to fix it?

If there are no visible reasons for the breakdown, simply try to open the door from the inside by working on the mechanism with various tools. If necessary, enlist the services of an assistant who will press or pull the door from the outside. Experience shows that such procedures for opening jammed doors can take a lot of time, so you will have to be patient.

Replacing the interior door handle

Good day) today I was busy replacing the inside door handle (a jock friend tore it off :D) I would like to post detailed instructions for the replacement, because I haven’t found one myself, maybe it will be useful for someone)) So, let’s get started.

1. You need to pull out the plug. Since the entire door card and handle are plastic, there will naturally be kinks, so you should start removing it in a “more or less” inconspicuous place, somewhere below. Out of inexperience, I plucked it out with a screwdriver. In general, advice: pick somewhere where you won’t be able to see the nicks later, and after replacing you can go over it with fine sandpaper.

Causes of malfunctions

There are several types of malfunctions that prevent the doors of a VAZ-2109 from opening from the outside or from both sides:

The outer key, made of silumin, broke off. This happens when you try to open the door in severe frost, applying a lot of force. Breakage is not considered a big problem, because the sash can be opened with a handle from the inside.
The silumin pusher, which is activated by the opening key, has broken. The reasons are the same: low temperature outside and strong pressure. In this situation, the door can also be unlocked from inside the car.
The rod that connects the handles with the locking mechanism has disappeared. The door does not unlock from either side.
Wear of parts of the locking device.
The screws securing the lock have come loose and it is hanging freely inside the door card. It is impossible to open the door using the handles.

The latter malfunction sometimes occurs due to the fault of the car owner himself, who has decided to change or repair the door lock. Having put it in place and not fully tightened the screws, the owner of the VAZ-2109 accidentally slams the door, after which it will not be possible to open it with the handle.

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?

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

Troubleshooting

If a key or silumin rod breaks, you should not immediately buy a new block with a handle. On sale you can find special repair kits for VAZ 2108-099 door handles, which contain these parts in 2 copies.

This way you will save money and easily change the key yourself by removing the handle using the following sequence of actions:

Remove the decorative panel.
Disconnect the rod connecting it to the locking device from the handle mechanism.
With the glass fully up, unscrew the 2 fastenings of the handle to the door card.
Remove the handle, replace the parts and put it back.

If the rod is disconnected, then you need to remove the inner lining and put it in place, as described above. Using the moment when the facing panel is removed, check what caused the disconnection of this rod so that history does not repeat itself when the door is slammed.

Malfunctions of the locking mechanism can only be eliminated by removing it. In a situation where the device has a lot of wear, as happens on the driver and front passenger doors, it is recommended to replace the lock with a new one.

Once it is in place, adjustments are required to ensure that the locking parts are perfectly aligned. To adjust the locking, you need to lock it in different positions, reaching the optimal value.

Owners of domestically produced cars often need to carry out one or another repair of car parts. One of the common and inconvenient problems is a broken door lock. It forces quick action, as it calls into question the driver’s comfort and the safety of personal belongings.

Causes of problems opening the door

If incorrect operation of the VAZ 2115 design is noticed and the rear door does not open from the outside, then the reason lies in the locking mechanism or poor adjustment of the door fragment. The following factors indicate the need for repairs:

the door slams loudly when closing;
an unpleasant creak appeared;
there is a rebound from the car rim;
the door leaf has shifted;
an increased gap appeared between the body and the door rim;
subsidence, sagging, movement of the door pillar to the side;
when closing there is a sharp kickback because the backlash is set incorrectly;
the door closes only after a strong push;
the lock is broken or blocked, the handle (external, internal) does not work;
There was a crackling noise in the door panel while the vehicle was moving.

Special attention is required to the gaps, hinges, internal filling of the door, lock and handle. The exterior of the vehicle is inspected in a closed and open state. It is also determined whether there is any distortion or other changes in the body shape. The doors should be at the same level, the diameter of the gaps should be no more than 1–2 cm. Having examined the condition of the hinges, a search for mechanical damage is carried out, the functionality of the opening mechanism and the operation of the lock cylinder are checked.

If the car has been in an accident, the adjustment is performed after straightening or replacing damaged parts.

What will be needed for repairs

If the front door of the VAZ 2114 does not open from the outside, then an analysis of the problem is carried out, based on which the optimal repair method is selected. Most often, work requires:

key to 10;
Screwdriver Set;
hammer;
pliers;
Silicone Grease;
marker;
knife;
anti-corrosion substance.

If it is determined that the problem is in the closing device, then a cylinder or a solid lock is purchased. Disassembly will show whether there is a chance to repair or adjust the device.

Radical approach

If there is no time, and nerves are at their limit, some car enthusiasts resort to them, but these are the worst ways to open a car. Imagine that you decided to sell your car in a year, and the buyer you came across was attentive and meticulous. Traces after an approach by brute force will remain with a 99% probability, and such a car will be sold for a very long time, because no one will believe that it was not in an accident.

If you decide then:

We break out the lock - take a screwdriver and hammer it into the lock cylinder, and then turn it. This method is incredibly expensive, because further repairs are required. You will be faced with the fact that instead of one cylinder you will have to change all 5 (doors + trunk), and after the repair you will have two keys. In order to have only one key, you will have to order expensive locks and wait a long time, dooming yourself to the inability to use the car always open.

Lock: repair, unlocking, assembly

If the back or other door of a VAZ 2114 does not open, then you will have to work from the interior. It is important to take care of lighting. To open the door, replace or unlock the lock, the following instructions are provided:

The plugs on the handle of the door element are removed.
Three screws are unscrewed: two on top, one under the armrest.
The cover is removed.
The handle locks are disabled.
The decorative panel comes unfastened.
Electrical wiring is disconnected.
The handle and plastic cap of the lock are removed.

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.

Preventing door jams

The main reason for the breakdown: long-term operation, but the service life of the part is reduced if the driver does not carry out preventive maintenance. Basic moments:

Cleaning of internal parts, treatment with special substances.
Power loop lubrication.
Removing adhered dirt. The procedure is carried out at least twice a year: in spring and autumn. Active ingredients for treatment: Liqui Moly Schnell-Reiniger cleaner, Liqui Moly Wartungs-Spray weiss dirt-repellent white lubricant.
Lubrication of hinges, internal parts, rubber seals, door stops.

Thanks to these actions, fixation improves. Lubricants with an anti-corrosion effect preserve the elasticity of parts.

The procedure is especially relevant before the winter season, when the treatment prevents the mechanism from freezing when moisture enters. Spring prevention minimizes damage to the door mechanism from ultraviolet radiation.

On the VAZ-2114, as well as on models 2108, 2109, 21099, 2113 and 2115, there is a mystical reason why the door may not open for no apparent reason. The malfunction lies in the outer handle, and how to find it - read below.

VAZ-2114 door handle: a kink may occur in the connection between the lever and the rod, due to which the rod “does not reach” the lock lever and the door does not open for no apparent reason

When a car door does not open using the outside handle, the first thing that comes under suspicion is the lock rods that have come off. This is the most common reason why the handle may not unlock the lock. However, these Lada models have their own and very tricky fault - a crack inside the handle.

You can see this crack only by removing the handle. That is, disassembling the door and thoroughly inspecting everything will not help here. In appearance, the handle looks absolutely intact, the rods are in place, but the door does not open. This means you need to remove the handle.

The handle on Frets of the Samara family is secured with two nuts and can be removed quite easily. The only difficulty may be difficult access to the far nut, but a socket wrench can help here. Of course, you will need to use a screwdriver to disconnect the rod connecting the handle and the lock itself.

When the handle is removed, you need to inspect it from the inside. There, inside the handle, there is a metal tongue that transmits movement from the lever (which is pressed with your fingers when opening the door) to the rod going to the lock. Very often this tongue cracks and, when pressing on the lever, bends slightly.

The trick of the situation is that the pull towards the lock moves, but not enough. Therefore, it is possible to determine this malfunction and find out why the door does not open only by visually identifying the crack. As a rule, such a handle cannot be repaired, so it is worth replacing it.

A crack in the pen tongue appears due to the weakness of the metal from which the tongue is made. The maximum that can be done in such a situation is to handle the handle carefully, namely, do not apply much force to the lever. So that it does not “resist” pressure, but moves easily, it is necessary to correctly adjust the thrust from the handle to the lock, monitor the cleanliness of the lock mechanism and lubricate the entire structure in a timely manner.

Read why the car door may not open .

Every driver has had a situation when a car door slammed while the key was in the car. Some drivers resort to a radical solution and break the glass. But this method has many disadvantages.

First of all, there will be significant expenses for the purchase and installation of new auto glass, and secondly, using a car without glass, especially in winter, will only cause discomfort. In this regard, car owners are asking themselves: how can they get inside the 2114th VAZ model on their own without using a key, and without damaging the car itself?

In fact, there are quite a few solutions for opening the VAZ-2114 door without a key. To do this, you need to have standard tools on hand, and even a ruler, rope, tennis ball or wire. In each case, it is worth considering the car make and lock model. Mostly the device is almost identical, with the exception of some types of window lifters and nuances. It is no secret that domestic cars, which have a simple security system and door lock design, are easier to open. It is quite possible to deal with the problem in a short time.

How to remove the window lifter handle of a VAZ 2107?

Despite the simple design of fastening the window lifter handle on classic Zhiguli models, dismantling this handle causes many difficulties for many car enthusiasts.

If you are reading this article, it means that you most likely have not yet managed to break this unit; usually, during the first dismantling, this handle simply breaks. So, in this article we will talk in detail about how to remove the window lifter handle of a VAZ 2107

It happens that the window lifter handle in a VAZ car suddenly breaks down. In the hot summer, this can be especially unpleasant, but you still shouldn’t immediately rush to contact a specialized car service center to remove the old broken window lifter handle and install a new one.

The fact is that almost any car owner can deal with such a problem on his own; in other words, everyone can repair a window lifter handle with their own hands. To do this, the driver just needs to find out exactly how to properly replace the window lifter handle and apply this knowledge in practice. It's actually not that difficult to do. It is easiest to consider the process of replacing this automotive element using an example. In particular, in order to carefully remove the handle of the mechanical window lifter of a VAZ 2107 car, the motorist will need a flat-head screwdriver and, of course, a new working handle, complete with a latch and washer.

Operating procedure

Insert a flathead screwdriver between the latch and the washer of the broken window handle. Next, using this tool, you need to try to gently press out the jammed handle latch.

Then you should carefully pull the latch towards you and remove this element out. The next step is to remove the broken window handle itself. First you need to remove the washer.

By the way, in order to install the handle, you must proceed in the reverse order. Next, insert a new washer, which should be included with the new handle. Lightly holding the new washer with your hand, you need to carefully install the new window lifter handle onto the mechanism. Experts advise turning the new handle a little. This is done so that the new handle “clicks” well into the splines of the window lifter gears. Now you can secure the installed handle with the latch from that kit. It would be a good idea to check how the new window lifter handle works at the end. To do this, simply raise and lower the door glass several times in a row. So, self-repair of the window lifter handle is quite simple. However, this method may not always solve the problem. In particular, certain difficulties may arise with removing a broken handle and installing a new analogue if the glass on the vehicle door itself is very difficult to lift and release.

Moreover, most likely, in this case, replacing the old handle with a new one may not solve the problem at all. Most often, if the window does not go up and down well, the problem is not in the handle, but in the window lift mechanism itself.

There is also a possibility that the lifting/lowering cable is not working correctly or that the splines of the window lifter gear have expired. If this is really the reason, then only replacing the window lifter mechanism itself can help.

The lock does not work: reasons and actions

First, it’s worth understanding the reasons for the lock’s malfunction. The latter can become clogged with dust or dirt, and the key only compacts all this in the well. To deal with damage, you need to fill the lock with a cleaning mixture, leaving it for a quarter of an hour. In winter, for example, the door may jam if moisture gets into the mechanism. In the cold the door blocks the handle with the keys, so the car must first be driven into the garage to warm up.

If the lock is broken or the door is slammed in the VAZ-2114 from the inside with a key, these methods will not work. You can use the following recommendations:

you need to take an awl and a hard long wire, making a hook at the end;
Use an awl to remove the outer seal of the car glass to create a gap;
it is necessary to lower the wire into the hole until it rests against the latch of the lock;
then you need to turn and rotate the hook, allowing the wire to pass further; if it falls through easily, you should pull it back, thanks to which you will be able to pry the lock;
You should put the seal back and open the car door.

The whole process will take about 10 minutes.

How to extend the life of seals

The car door does not close in the cold - the cause of this trouble often lies in the condition of the sealing rubber. According to numerous tips from car enthusiasts, it is necessary to use a special silicone lubricant. Treatment with such material will allow you to maintain the desired properties of the seals without feeling any discomfort when closing the vehicle doors even in severe frosts. This will help extend the life of the sealing tape and prevent you from having to spend extra money on purchasing new parts.

How to unlock the trunk in a VAZ-2114

If you cannot open the trunk, the lock is probably damaged due to careless opening, clogged, or broken for other reasons. To open a trunk with a damaged locking device, perform the following steps:

prepare a screwdriver;
remove the rear wall of the seat to provide access from inside the cabin;
carefully remove the plastic lock protection;
between the fixing nuts, find a lever that should be pryed with a screwdriver and pulled from the outside of the trunk, and the latter will open.

Let's consider extraordinary methods for opening the lock in a VAZ-2114. It will be surprising to many, but your car can be opened in other ways, using a rope, a ruler, a tennis ball or even a telephone. So, in order.

Rope. To use this method and open the door, you will need a rope or fishing line. First you need to bend the door corner. To do this, you can use any tool, even a wooden/plastic kitchen spatula will do. It's a good idea to find wooden pegs.

To prevent scratches on the car, it is worth sticking electrical tape to the affected area. If the latter is not at hand, fabric will do. You need to tie a loop on the rope, and then pull this rope into the resulting gap. Next, use a loop to grab the door lock button. When the latter falls into the loop, you can pull the rope up and the door will open. With skill and luck, the manipulations will go quite quickly.

Wire. You will need a small screwdriver, a piece of wire and a manicure file. If you don’t have wire at hand, for example, a knitting needle or a welding electrode will do. First you need to pull out a couple of centimeters of the window seal. It can be picked up with a nail file or a screwdriver. Next, you need to bend the hook at the tip of the wire, inserting it into the resulting hole.

The wire, in turn, must be selected to be solid so that it does not bend due to the manipulations performed. However, a thick one will also not work, as it will not fit into the gap. The alarm must be turned off before opening the doors.

When you can feel the lock, you need to forcefully move the wire to the left. The essence of the method is to feel the pull of the door device, lift it up, and pull the wire. Basically, it turns out to open the car door 1-2 times, even if there is no such experience. It's time to try a simpler method. If you open the door window just a centimeter to push the wire through, it’s time to try to hook the blocker.

Ruler. No matter how strange it may sound, this simple tool is ready to cope with any auto lock. First of all, you will need to remove the seal next to the lock by inserting a stationery object there. This method is identical to the wire opening process. The only difference is that here the pressure on the rod is done with a ruler. It takes some effort for the flag to rise up.
Telephone. This method is quite simple, but it cannot always be applied. Each car has a spare key, which is located at home. All you have to do is call a relative to save the situation.

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;

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

The electronic device is adjusted according to the included instructions. All other nuances that should be taken into account when installing the device in VAZ models have been indicated.
