Do-it-yourself replacement of internal and external door handles in a Lada Granta

Causes of malfunction

If we compare the frequency of breakdowns, the Lada Granta rear door handle fails half as often as a similar part on the front doors. Main causes of failure:

1. Lever wear. After 3–4 years of operation, the spare part wears out, the paintwork cracks, scratches, and the appearance of the car deteriorates.
2. Mechanical defect of the internal or external lining. This may be due to careless handling or careless driving.
3. Poor quality material. The problem occurs in cases where the car owner, in order to save money, purchases a non-certified product from an unknown manufacturer to replace the original part. As a result, the lever breaks or becomes deformed after a few months.
4. Breakage of the opening lock cylinder.

Owners of the 2022 Lada Granta sedan model prefer to tune the car and replace standard spare parts with replicas immediately after purchasing the vehicle. A factory defect leads to the fact that the standard part begins to hang loose and opens poorly after a few weeks.

What tends to break down in a mechanism?

Sometimes disassembly occurs only to tighten the fasteners. It is also necessary to dismantle the opening mechanism if it does not work correctly. Main causes and options for breakdowns:

1. A defect appeared after an accident.
2. The part does not close or open the door well. There is insufficient adhesion to the body part.
3. Microcracks, scratches, and abrasions appeared on the product.
4. Damage to internal components has been detected. If no defects are found during a visual inspection, you will have to unscrew the handle to make sure that the whole problem is in the fastenings.
5. In the case of the driver's door, where there is a lock in the handle, the reason for dismantling is an attempt to break into it.

An equally compelling reason: failure of the external door opening manipulator. It is important to understand that the plastic from which the products are made is not as durable as other elements. It may simply crack due to strong pressure on the handle.

DIY repair option

One of the common reasons for replacing handles is play and rattling. This occurs due to a poor-quality plate located inside the structure. A fixation screw is screwed into its hole. After a certain period of operation, the porous metal is damaged and backlash appears.

Option to temporarily eliminate the defect:

The screw needs to be cut to 3-4 turns, since the installation depth will be small. The head is semicircular, but does not extend beyond the plane of the plastic cover.

Rear door interior handle illumination

After the handle is removed, it would be nice to supplement it with lighting. To do this, drill a hole for the LED on the removed handle with the cover:

We install an LED in the hole and connect it to the power supply for the side lights. We get lighting for the inside rear door handle on the Grant. The photo was taken from below, so the LED is visible. It does not interfere with the passenger and allows you to easily open the handle, without searching for it in the dark.

Selection of spare parts, part numbers and cost for Lada Kalina 1 and 2

To select door handles, you need to know the catalog number. The first models differ from Kalina 2, but they are interchangeable. There is a difference in the design of the interior handles in the cabin. On Lada Kalina 1 you can select individual components (opening mechanism, plastic lever), Lada Kalina has 2 block-type handles.

What is the article number of door handles for Lada Kalina 1:

The following catalog numbers are relevant for Kalina 2:

On the model, the driver's door requires a cylinder to open and close. The actual cost of the pen depends on the manufacturer. The price for internal ones is from 400 rubles, for external ones – from 500 rubles. There are no options with lighting for sale; you can make it yourself.

Replacing the outer handle

To understand how to remove the door handle on a Grant, just study our instructions. From the inventory you will need: a Phillips screwdriver, a socket wrench and a knife. Step-by-step work:

1. Decorative trims are dismantled. The plastic latches are removed, then the edge of the casing is picked up using a knife.
2. The handle is secured with a nut and bolt on the inside and outside. First, the fastening element is unscrewed in front, then in the back.
3. The thrust rods and seals are removed from the closing mechanism.
4. The product is removed. To do this you will have to pull the handle a little.
5. Before installation, the mounting location is inspected and dirt and dust are removed.

Work progress

Let us immediately note that before removing the door handle of the Lada Kalina, it is necessary to dismantle the trim.

Front door

First of all, you need to use a flat screwdriver to pry the plastic end of the rod together with the lock switch lever to disengage it.

Next, the lock drive rod is disconnected from the lever of the external handle - it also needs to be pryed off with a screwdriver.

Then you need to unscrew the nut securing the (front) handle.

Behind it, unscrew the mounting bolt (rear).

When this is done, all that remains is to remove the Lada Kalina door handle.

If you need to replace the lock cylinder, you will need to press out the lock cylinder retainer using a flat-head screwdriver.

Tools and Supplies

Reinstallation and repair of the part can be done in the garage; for the work you will need the following tools and consumables:

• Set of car keys.
• Set of heads, ratchets and cranks.
• Set of special plastic tools.
• Ruler for opening the door of a Lada Granta car.
• Phillips and flat head screwdrivers.
• Anti-corrosion lubricant WD-40.
• Litol lubricant.
• Rags.

The work does not require special skills; the driver only needs to carefully dismantle and install new parts according to our instructions.

Analysis of the condition of door handle assemblies

During the inspection, the appearance and functionality of the opening mechanisms are assessed. A common problem with Lady Kalina handles is that the outer handle dangles, but it works normally. Such a defect can lead to mechanical failure, so it is necessary to dismantle it and check the condition of the entire structure.

Signs of malfunction:

1. Great efforts are made to open the doors.
2. Creaking and other extraneous sounds appear.
3. When pressed, the lock does not open the first time.
4. The handle does not return to its original position.

It is important to choose the right replacement components and find out the exact scheme for restoring functionality.

For a full analysis, you need to disassemble the door cards and visually assess the condition of the parts. This is necessary for self-repair; in some cases, it is not necessary to contact a car service.

External handle replacement process

The outer door handle of a Lada Granta car is removed not only for replacement, but also if it is necessary to repair the lock cylinder, lubricate or correct the operation of the locking mechanism. Work order step by step:

1. Open the front door.
2. Remove the casing.
   

   When working on reinstalling trim elements, it is recommended to purchase additional clips; the cost of one clip is up to 3 rubles. During the repair process, fasteners may

   break, the parts are consumer goods, have a bad fixing clip or a hard skirt.

3. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the three screws that secure the mirror frame to the car body.
4. Remove the retaining clip using pliers.
5. Remove the mirror and remove the hinges through the diagnostic hole.
6. Remove the bolt that secures the outside handle to the end of the door. To do this, you need to use a 8-mm head. If the screw is tight or acidified from rust, it is recommended to spray the fasteners with anti-corrosion lubricant.
7. Remove the bolt holding the lever. It is located in the inner tunnel.
8. Disconnect the rods from the lock using a screwdriver.
9. Moving forward as you move, slightly rocking, remove the outer handle.

All work with lock mechanisms, dismantling handles outside and inside, and reinstalling casings is carried out only with the battery disconnected.

We repair locks for VAZ-1118 car doors ourselves

It is known that locks for VAZ-1118 car doors have an interesting property - you can replace their cylinder without removing the mechanism from the door itself. On previous models, dismantling is more difficult: you need to press the bracket holding the cylinder with a paper clip or an awl, getting into the hole on a mechanical drive. In the Kalina model, that is, VAZ-1118, this bracket is pressed out by pressing with a ruler or a screwdriver. Which, in turn, is done on the installed lock (there is no point in removing it). Next, the replacement operation is discussed in more detail.

Design of VAZ-2109 locks and disadvantages

The lock cylinder is a cylinder that is equipped with a secret mechanism. In all locks with a flat key, the cylinder is replaceable. For example, on VAZ-2109 cars it is replaced like this.

Door mechanism VAZ-2109

The rotating part that is connected to the rod is called the “drive”. As we can see, this drive has a hole for removing the cylinder. By applying pressure with a thin axle or an awl, the larva is pulled out.

Actions after releasing the fastener

There is only one drawback - it is hardly possible to complete the steps indicated here without first removing the lock completely.

It should be noted that even when the mechanism is removed, it will not be easy to pull the larva out of it.

Therefore, before dismantling, be sure to insert a key into the cylinder and turn it left or right 90 degrees. The purpose of this action is to be able to dismantle the larva. This action is performed effortlessly, and the key is then simply pulled towards you.

Replacing the larva in Kalina

First of all, replacing the lock elements means that the door trim will be completely missing. Therefore, first we will figure out how to dismantle the trim on Lada Kalina cars. The second chapter is devoted to how to remove the larva and install a new one in its place. The last step will actually be the simplest.

Removing the door trim yourself

The casing is attached not only to screws, but also to plastic pistons. The number of screws holding the part in question is four:

Front door trim 1118

Numbers here indicate all fastening elements. But to get to them, you need to remove the screw cap “3”, as well as the inner door handle. The pawl handle also needs to be unscrewed.

If these actions are completed successfully, the casing begins to be dismantled, moving it away from the metal. Dismantling is carried out starting from any of the corners, but care must be taken: the pistons holding the plastic are fragile.

How to remove plastic trim

If the package includes power windows, you will need to disconnect the connector connected to the button block. Also, another similar connector is present in most trim levels - where there is a central lock. Both connectors must be disconnected.

All the steps described here involve electronics in any case.

Therefore, at the stage before dismantling the trim, you need to open the hood, take the “10” key and unscrew the negative terminal. We are talking about the battery terminal, which can be connected last (when the last screw is screwed in). Anyone who breaks this rule will look for blown fuses. Draw a conclusion.

How to get to the door mechanism

According to the recommendation of the magazine "Behind the Wheel", in the absence of casing, access to the lock is always available. Simply put, there will be no need to remove the inner lining made of metal. The steel sheet is simply bent to the side.

Lock mechanism

The rotating part with the protrusion is called the “drive”, and this is what you will need next.

Replacing the larva will be easy:

1. The key in the cylinder currently fixed in the door is turned 90 degrees;
2. Using a steel ruler, knife or thin screwdriver, you need to press the locking tongue located opposite the slot in the body of the cylinder. You need to place a screwdriver between the rotating and stationary parts of the mechanism. Know that in the driver's door the slot is made from the bottom (looks “to the floor”), in the passenger doors - from the top!
3. By pulling the key towards you, the larva is pulled out;
4. The new cylinder is installed like this: with the key inserted, it is pushed into the lock until it stops. The locking tab will need to be pushed inward.

The following photo illustrates the “second step”.

Slot above the locking tongue

The slot itself, when the mechanism is assembled, is located between the drive and the lock body (at least that is how it is designed). You need to manage to squeeze a screwdriver into the space between these parts. Sometimes this action does not lead to a positive result, and then the lock has to be removed as an assembly.

Recommendations from the magazine “Behind the Wheel”

Let’s turn again to the “Behind the Wheel” review, which discusses how to remove door locks in a VAZ-1118 Kalina. If the casing has been dismantled, this is not bad. Next, according to the recommendations, unscrew the screw securing the inner handle:

The door handle is attached here

The lock mechanism is connected to two rods made in the form of rods. Both of them are dismantled by disconnecting the plastic clips:

Disconnect the rods from the lock

To disengage the latch, press on the plastic tab with a screwdriver.

At the last step, as you might guess, all that remains is to unscrew the screws holding the mechanism motionless.

Three screws, cross head

But first, you need to dismantle the external handle. To do this, unscrew two bolts equipped with an “8” hex head.

Two bolts hold the handle

By the way, if the central locking connector is attached to the mechanism module, it is also disconnected.

Central lock connector built into the module

Let the wiring harness for the central locking drive remain in the door.

Of course, all door locks must be unlocked with one key, which is supposed to be used in the future.

The work indicated here is carried out on each of the four doors. In addition, it is very desirable that the ignition key also unlocks the doors. However, replacing the cylinder on the steering column will not be so easy. Can you handle the total amount of work that needs to be done? Decide for yourself.

Review of spare parts prices

*prices are current as of November 27, 2018.

Recommendations for choosing and replacing door handles

When choosing spare parts, always give preference to original ones. Good, high-quality parts are always 10 - 15% more expensive than analogues. At the same time, by purchasing a factory part, you can count on a long service life of the mechanism. A cheap counterfeit does not provide even a third of the required resource. The final choice is up to the owner of the technical device. The deciding factor is the budget.

The process of replacing the inner door lever

The inner handle will have to be removed not only if the part breaks. Dismantling is necessary when replacing the casing, installing additional sound insulation, or repairing a window regulator. To completely replace the outer handle trim and internal operating mechanism, you will need to remove the trim from the door. Step by step procedure for replacing parts:

1. Disconnect the negative terminals from the battery.
2. Unscrew the 3 trim screws located at the bottom.
3. Remove the plastic plug by prying it off with a screwdriver.
4. Unscrew the screw located in the middle part of the door trim.
5. Remove the screws located in the armrest niche and the two that hold the handle fasteners.
6. Insert a flat-head screwdriver wrapped in a rag or a plastic wedge from a special tool kit between the trim and metal door frame.
7. Carefully pulling back the screwdriver or wedge, unfasten all the clips securing the casing.
8. Move the panel slightly away from the frame and disconnect the block with wires from the locking lever. Disconnect the power window wires.
9. Remove the door trim.
10. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw securing the base to the inner door panel and pull the bent end of the rod out of the hole in the inner handle lever.
11. Remove the inner handle.

You can install the new handle in the reverse order, taking into account that the front tab of the base of the part should go beyond the edge of the technological hole in the inner panel.

Removing the door trim of the Lada Kalina with your own hands

The doors of any passenger car, including the Lada Kalina, are lined from the inside with special decorative panels. For various reasons, sometimes it becomes necessary to remove this trim, and here ignorant motorists are faced with a problem - there are no fastenings for the door card on the outside. In reality, the disassembly technology is not complicated, although it does include a couple of nuances that need to be taken into account.

Why is the door trim removed?

Most often, the trim of the rear or front doors is dismantled in order to get to the internal cavities where the window lift mechanisms are installed. Although during the entire period of operation of the car there are other situations when it is necessary to remove the trim:

• for installing acoustic speakers built into door cards;
• in case of failure of the electric window lift buttons;
• for dismantling glass for the purpose of tinting or replacement;
• to repair or lubricate window lift mechanisms;
• to replace facing panels that have become worn or scratched over the years of use of the machine.

Front door cards Lada Kalina

It is also necessary to remove the trim during body work, when it is necessary to weld rotten elements, renew the car’s paintwork, or carry out anti-corrosion treatment.

Note. Many motorists remove the upholstery to make additional vibration and sound insulation of the body themselves.

Lada Kalina rear door trim

Preparation for dismantling

To unscrew the fasteners and remove the door trim, you need to prepare a simple set of tools:

• screwdriver with cross slots;
• long flat screwdriver;
• a pointed tool, such as an awl.

Door disassembly tool

Since the door card of the Lada Kalina car is held on by plastic fasteners (otherwise known as clips, pistons), there is a warning regarding the working conditions. It is strictly not recommended to dismantle door trim in the cold, when the plastic becomes brittle and easily destroyed. Hence, there is a risk of breaking all the clips during the process of removing the decorative panel. Therefore, in winter, perform this operation in a heated garage or box.

In the summer, there are no requirements for premises; remove the casing even in the open air. There is only one recommendation: in windy weather it is better to drive the car into the garage, otherwise a lot of dust will be brought into the interior when the doors are open.

This is what the door card lock looks like

Advice. In cars that are 5 years old or more, the plastic from which the retainers are made dries out and becomes brittle. When separating the trim from the door of such a car, you will probably ruin some of the clips. So it’s worth buying new ones in advance, there are 8 pieces in the front door, and 10 pieces in the back door.

Instructions for removing the cladding on Kalina

The first three operations are performed the same way for all Lada Kalina doors. The exception is the trunk hatches of hatchback and station wagon cars, where the disassembly procedure is much simpler. Here's what to do:

1. By hand, unscrew and pull out the cap of the latch designed to lock the door lock from the inside.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 4 screws holding the music system speaker.
3. Remove the speaker and disconnect the wires from it.

Unscrewing the blocker and acoustics

Advice. The acoustics can be attached either to the door card itself or to the metal door frame. If, after removing the speaker, you observe the first option, then during assembly it is better to redo the fasteners by drilling holes for self-tapping screws. The acoustics should be mounted to the door, not to the upholstery.

Attaching the speaker to the casing is wrong

The further procedure of work differs depending on the location of the door that you are disassembling.

Front passenger door

Here the decorative panel is held on by 8 clips, 2 screws securing the internal handle and two self-tapping screws located under the plastic pocket. The algorithm for dismantling it is as follows:

1. Using an awl, carefully pry the edge of the plastic plug hiding the screw in the door handle and remove it. Remove the second screw cover in the same way.
2. Remove both handle screws.
3. Pull the door opening handle towards you, unscrew the fastening screw and remove the lever. After which you will be able to remove the entire handle.
4. Unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of the door card, under the plastic pocket.
5. Take a flat head screwdriver and pry the top right corner of the trim panel to disengage the first tab. Grab the casing with your fingers and release the remaining pistons manually.
6. After separating the panel from the door, disconnect the wires coming from the power window button. To do this, pry the connector tab with a screwdriver and pull the block out of the button block. Dismantling of the cladding has been completed.

Passenger side panel removed

Advice. When prying up the edge of the door card with a flat-head screwdriver, you should place a rag under it so as not to scratch the paintwork on the inside.

Nuances of disassembling the driver's door

On this side, the decorative panel is removed in the same order as on the passenger side. But due to small differences in the design, it is necessary to take into account the following nuances:

• To make the trim easier to remove, you need to remove the plastic panel covering the rear-view mirror adjustment lever;
• the first screw for securing the armrest is located under the plug, and the second is in the recess of the handle;
• the door opening handle is located on top of the armrest and is removed after unscrewing the fastening screw.

The plastic socket for the mirror drive can be easily removed by hand

The panel on the rear view mirror adjustment is removed using a flat screwdriver, which is used to pry it off from below. On vehicles equipped with electrically controlled mirrors, there is no adjustment lever, and instead there is a plug on the panel.

On the driver's side, the screw is hidden in the armrest

Reference. Some drivers unknowingly try to pick out this plug to disconnect the panel. The action is useless, since the element is easily removed by hand, but unsuccessful attempts leave unsightly scratches on it.

Screw securing the lever for opening the door

Rear door trim

Here the upholstery is pressed to the door by 10 plastic clips and 2 screws securing the handle. The disassembly technology is as follows:

• The first step is to remove the mechanical window lifter handle. Use an awl to pry up the plastic half-ring that secures the lever to the axle. Pull it out and remove the handle.
• Pull out the 2 plastic plugs on the door handle and remove the fastening screws. After this, the element will be easily removed.
• Using a flat-head screwdriver, pull out the lower far corner of the decorative panel and snap out the first piston.
• Grab the door card with your hand and remove it, releasing the remaining clips along the contour. The casing has been successfully dismantled.

Car : Lada Kalina. Asks : Smirnov Vladimir. The essence of the question : Why are the rear doors of the Lada Kalina difficult to open?

Good afternoon, please tell me why the rear doors of the Lada Kalina are difficult to open?

Rear doors don't open well

Be it Lada Kalina or Lada Granta - both of these cars are now very popular among Russian car enthusiasts. However, on some models during operation, a malfunction such as rear doors that are difficult to open is observed.

And this happens because the doors or locks were poorly adjusted at the factory. This deficiency can be eliminated by contacting an official dealer, or you can fix everything yourself.

Door adjustment process

While adjusting the door

Before you start work, first inspect all the gaps for the correct geometry of the body, on the sides, top and bottom, and depending on where the inaccuracy is found, you should start working.

Tools required: Impact screwdriver and socket set

Adjusting the bottom of the door

1. Open the car window.
2. Apply light blows with your palm to the bottom of the door.
3. In order for you to understand more clearly what we are talking about, we bring to your attention a video about how a similar issue is resolved at the Renault plant.

Adjusting a door with a large gap at the top

1. We lower the window completely. Depending on the configuration, we use either a mechanical handle or a window lifter for this.
2. We close the door until it clicks.
3. Pull the top edge of the door away from you or toward you.

Door lock adjustment

1. First of all, loosen the three bolts that secure the lock in place.

Door locking mechanism (shackle adjustment)

Replacing an internal part

Replacing the internal handles on the rear door of a Granta is slightly different from dismantling the external part. The internal element has more fastenings and is partially hidden by decorative trim. Algorithm of actions:

1. The cladding is dismantled. To pull it out, you need to pry up the edge. To do this, use the thin edge of a screwdriver or a sharp knife.
2. The rear door card unwinds. There is a rod inside that is important to disconnect.
3. To remove the remains of the broken opening device, the fasteners are unscrewed. The handle is removed and a new part is mounted.

Before installation, the internal niche is cleaned. This can be done with alcohol infusion or detergent.
