Trunk lock for VAZ 2114 - adjustment and replacement

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.

Twisting the fastening nuts

conclusions

As you can see, doing this work yourself is quite simple. It does not require any special tools or special knowledge. Knowing the setup points and following the recommendations above, you can easily cope with this work yourself.

Among living people, there is an opinion that our auto industry creates, to put it mildly, not very high-quality cars. This point of view may be too biased, but the fact that owners of domestic cars sooner or later are forced to spend personal money on car service is an indisputable fact.

But it is also worth noting the fact that some repair work on domestic cars can be done with your own hands. For example, adjust the lock or trunk lid, which we will talk about in this article.

How to adjust the trunk lock on a VAZ 2112, 2110, 2111

1). Loosen the lock nuts.

2). Remove the protective cover from the lock.

3). Move the lock in the correct direction and tighten the screws.

4). We are now testing the ease of driving the lock.

Five) . If necessary, the setup process can be repeated again. But if the lock closes well, tighten the mounting bolts.

In cases where the lock on the body does not fit into the lock on the lid when closing, then unscrew the bolts securing it and move it in the desired direction, after which we tighten the bolts back.

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?

Basic faults

The main trunk problems that the owner of a VAZ car may encounter include:

• inability to close the trunk - the reason for this is most often the misalignment of the guides or the locking platform;
• inability to lock the trunk - the reason for this, as a rule, is the bursting of the lock mate, made of silumin;
• the appearance of cracks - can occur either due to skewed fasteners or due to damage to the door frame itself;
• the appearance of squeaks during opening/closing - occurs, most often, due to wear of the seal.

Misalignment of the trunk of the VAZ 2114
To eliminate them, it is necessary to dismantle the trunk and replace worn elements (and in some cases, for example, with a general misalignment, a simple adjustment of the door is sufficient - we will tell you how to adjust the trunk of the VAZ 2114 at the end of the article).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Replacing the trunk lock for VAZ-2109

VAZ 2114, 2115, 2113 technical characteristics. trunk volume of Lada 2114

VAZ 2109 “Sputnik”, popularly called the “nine”, is a five-door car developed in the late 80s of the last century and mass-produced for more than 20 years. Its disadvantage: almost all the time the rear of the car remains contaminated with dust, sand and dirt. Various types of debris found on the road surface can end up on both the car itself and some of its parts. Often the trunk lock, the fifth door of the VAZ, suffers from this.

Everyone who has encountered this non-critical, but rather unpleasant breakdown of the VAZ 2109 trunk lock, has tried to somehow solve it. Today, there are several options for getting out of this unpleasant situation. The first, quite simple and logical, is to buy a new one and install it in place of the previous one in the same way as the mechanism was installed at the manufacturing plant.

But this option does not solve all problems, since the new lock will also become unusable over time and will require replacement. In addition, it is impossible to repair the lock itself, because it is a non-removable mechanism. In this case, craftsmen have adapted to installing an electric lock on the Lada Kalina on a VAZ 2109. All of these methods have their own significant differences, each has disadvantages and advantages.

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.

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.

How to adjust the latch and replace the trunk lock on a VAZ 21099, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108

Breeding

1). First, remove the lock from the trunk lid. Unscrew the two nuts that secure the lock to the lid.

2). Then remove the lock itself.

3). From here we take out a small spring and check its condition. In cases where the spring is heavily compressed or skewed, we replace it with a new one.

4). Then remove the button with the cylinder from the inside of the trunk lid and check the condition of the button in the same way. If a button becomes slow or doesn't work at all when pressed, we also replace it with a new one.

Installation

1). First we put the whole system back together. That is, a previously removed button with a cylinder and a small spring is installed in their place.

2). Next, install the new lock and tighten the same nuts.

3). Then check how the trunk lid opens and closes. In cases where a clear knocking sound is heard in the lock area, this means that either the lock does not fall into the lock hole, or the lid closes very poorly.

In this case, adjustments need to be made.

This is approximately how you can adjust the trunk lock on a VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2108

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!

These erasers are not for adjusting, but for turning off the light. If the car has not been beaten into the ass, it is enough to adjust it, as I wrote above, and here everything will hum, but here it will not jump or rattle)!

There are always others on the right, because they usually open from there, and the disease is the bell ringers.

No gaps if you see this often after body repair or repairman. So remove the lid, the oval hinge so that it can be adjusted both here and there, and lift the latch in the lid to the end and the mustache so that you don’t have any gaps, I did it))) Good luck!

If the trunk does not close on a VAZ-2112, this means that the lock on the lid is lost and, therefore, will need to be adjusted. It's quite easy to do. It should be noted that the lock is the same in all VAZ models, so with the help of this guide you can replace all cars of the VAZ family.

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.

Adjusting the trunk lid

Having talked about how to replace a door with your own hands, let's talk about how to adjust the trunk lid on a VAZ 2114 after installation.

To do this you will need:

• When closed, outline the approximate location of the symmetrical arrangement of the lock and its lock;
• Release the fastener, and then fix the lock and its analogue in the new position (do not tighten the fastener “to the end” - enough so that the parts of the lock retain their position);
• Check the functionality of the trunk - if it opens and closes, unlocks and locks without problems, the locking position should be constantly fixed; if difficulties or misalignment occur, the fastening should be loosened, and the position of the lock and lock should be adjusted, then repeat the test.

Thus, almost every driver can repair or replace the trunk lid of a VAZ 2114. The most important thing is not to put off this event “for later,” because when the first signs of distortion or difficulty with locking appear, you can do this by simply adjusting the lock, whereas with a break latch, you will have to replace the entire device.
