We install a lock from Lada Kalina on VAZ 2109, VAZ 2108

How to replace the trunk lock on a VAZ 2113-VAZ 2115?

1) As for hatchbacks, the lock can be easily removed on them, but there will be no problems on sedans either, but the principle of replacement on two different bodies is different, first we’ll talk about hatchbacks, if you have a car with such a body, then remove them first the upholstery that is fastened inside the trunk lid with ten pistons, it can be removed very easily, all the pistons were pry off with a screwdriver and then the upholstery was put aside, for more details on how to do this, read the article: “Replacing a spoiler on cars”, point one in that Study the article in detail.

2) After the upholstery is removed, unscrew two bolts and thereby remove the lock from the car, but only when unscrewing the bolts, take into account the fact that under one of them there are several terminals, one of which goes to the tailgate wiper motor, and the other to brake light, well, that's it, the lock has been removed from the car.

Note! To adjust the lock on this type of car, take a spanner wrench (You can use a spanner if there is no spanner, there is simply a chance of breaking the bolts securing the lock) and use it to loosen the bolts securing the lock (Do not unscrew them completely, in this case, by the way, you are adjusting the position of the lock, because in a knocked down position, the trunk lid may be difficult to close, close with a blow, or it is very poorly fastened and opens at all on bumps), then move the latch in the desired direction, ensuring that the lock, when closing the trunk lid, enters the latch without strong force and that the trunk closes firmly (see photo 1), if you need to adjust the trunk lid in height (That is, the lid does not close well and there is play if you pull the lid), then in this case completely unscrew the bolts securing the latch, remove it and then the select the adjusting plates behind it (Always remember one thing, the more plates you put, the higher the trunk lid will stand and it will have a backlash, the fewer plates there are, the worse the trunk lid closes and the stronger it is pressed against the car body, and if there are no plates at all, then you simply won’t be able to close the lid, so look for a middle ground, see photo 2)!

3) As for sedans, they first remove the plastic clips using a screwdriver that secure the lock cover and then the cover is removed (see photo 1), and when it is removed, proceed to disconnect the rod, to do this, the tip of the rod (The rod is indicated in blue arrow in photo 2) remove it from the hole indicated by the green arrow, but keep in mind that the tip is bent and secured with a screw indicated by the yellow arrow, so first unscrew the screw, then straighten the bent end of the rod with pliers and only after that remove the rod from the hole in which it is is how this will all be done, remove the rod from the hole in the lock cylinder lever (see photo 3) and remove it, immediately after that unscrew the three nuts that secure the lock (see photo 4) to the trunk lid and remove it from studs and finally, unscrew the bolt that secures the lock cylinder (see photo 5) and remove it (see photo 6).

Note! The new lock is installed in its place in the reverse order of removal, when installing the nut at the beginning, do not tighten it all the way, but rather tighten it a little and try in different positions of the lock, closing the trunk lid, thereby you will adjust the lock to fit the lid and you will have it It's okay to close!

VAZ 2114 lock from viburnum on

Can a Kalina trunk lock be installed on a VAZ 2109 or not?
And why should this mechanism be chosen? In this article we will try to shed light on all these questions. The trunk lock on the VAZ 2109 at one point became a real problem. And it all started unexpectedly - a hole opened on the bumps, and as it turned out, a tooth broke off. It was very early in the morning, so I tied the door to the body and drove on; I installed the new lock (and its counterpart) a little later that day. But then problems began - I changed the trunk locks every six months or a year, and once I got one so bad that his tooth fell apart after a couple of weeks. The problem, it would seem, is not very serious, but how annoying it is is beyond words. And a couple of months ago it all started all over again - the Lyada knocks on the body, and on bumps it’s generally unbearable. While it was cold, I didn’t start repairs, but at the first rays of the spring sun I decided to get out to the car and see what was going on. This is where the story begins about how I managed to solve (so far partially) this problem.

Types of trunk lock failures

The lock on the trunk of a VAZ 2114 becomes faulty for various reasons.

Main problems:

1. The larva breaks. The reason is vibration from the trunk lid.
2. Deformation. This is caused by a strong blow from a foreign object.
3. Exhaustion of working resource. Associated with abrasion of the locking tooth or breaking off. The part wears out and requires replacement.
4. Failure of silumin elements. A complete replacement of the product is required.
5. Wear of seals. The lid will rattle and sometimes open on its own.

The problem must be solved by installing a working mechanism.

Attention! The part does not always require replacement. Sometimes the mechanism needs to be adjusted. By mistake, motorists often replace a working product with a new one.

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.

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

Adjustment and repair of the trunk lid and hood lock of the VAZ fourteenth model

If the trunk opens by itself, it means that there is a ghost in the car or it’s time to get the lock in order. More likely the latter than the former, so if the lid does not fit well or opens when the car hits a bump, it needs to be adjusted and the locking “lock tooth” checked. This is an element that, when closed, jumps inside the lock, due to which the part is blocked.

If there is abrasion at the place where the part is located, then you can replace it completely with the support platform. If the trunk makes strange noises, such as wobbling, the seal may have failed.

So, the reasons for the malfunction are as follows:

• it is necessary to tighten or dismantle the seals;
• the locking platform or rod is in an awkward position;
• Gaps have appeared or the core of the device has burst.

It must be remembered that the trunk lock is replaced completely, because the door and hood unlocking structure cannot be disassembled.

The process of installing a lock on a VAZ 2109

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is it advisable? It seems to me that yes, because in three years I have changed at least six locks! It is also advisable to install gas equipment to save on fuel. Each lock costs on average 400 rubles (once they were 350, and then the price went up). Therefore, it is better to do it once and for a long time. And if you got here, you obviously encountered a similar problem. It can be solved, do it, don’t be afraid, you won’t make it worse. Subscribe in the comments and share your experience. Perhaps someone has tried Grant's Castle? What are the advantages?

Installation of the larva

So, you have removed the lock, and now you need to remove the plate securing the main spring from it. There will be no special problems with this, as well as with dismantling the guide. Difficulties arise when removing the repelling mechanism. It is held on a hinge. To pull the latter out, you need to drill a hole with a diameter of no more than 3.5 millimeters on the side, against its end.

The pin is simply knocked out with a hammer through the resulting hole. Only after this will you be able to gain access to the larva itself.

The named element of the locking device is fixed with a special pin. Since you won’t need the old cylinder, you can safely knock it out without worrying about its integrity.

Place a new one in place of the old one. Secure it with a 50 mm nail shortened to the required size - it fits easily into the pin hole. This circumstance can subsequently create problems - an improvised pin can spontaneously fall out due to vibration. After this, the castle will, of course, need repairs again. To save yourself the trouble of wasting time, coat the nail fragment with silicone sealant.

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.

And you haven’t yet seen how the doors are adjusted, also the trunk can be the old proven way =)

It's scary, I don't think it will work))

No matter what the trunk lid says, it should not stand, even if it is a sink, it needs to be adjusted

Yes of course I want that

You get to such a raccoon. The pots are all crooked!

I want to do it with my own hands)

You still need to grind the clubs, they are in your 10, these gaps are also impressive). I’ll make it myself soon or I’ll look for a ten with 12 keys)

I also have 10 sticks, and the gap between the wing and the body is also larger than on the left

That is, like mine, but on the other hand?

No, the gap on the right is as big as yours, it is an order of magnitude larger than on the left

Is it clear that he has solved the problem one way or another or is looking for a solution?

Also the search is regulated for everyone, but the gap has not narrowed much

The same thing they suggested here is to just try to take the body out and sand down the oval cuts there with a round file to move the lid on the sides.

I did not understand the truth of the question, where exactly do you want to adjust, if there are headlights and reflectors, then open the trunk there (on the lid itself) there are rubber gaskets so that they simply screw in and squeeze out, and they adjust the gap. Are you talking about this? Did it help at least?))

Instructions for dismantling and replacing the mechanism

1. Buy a suitable device. You can choose the appropriate part for your Lada Granta car. This is a good option because it has an electric drive and a limit switch. Unfortunately, when installing a part of this option, you will have to install your own fastening; you can make it from a small steel angle, for example, 40 * 40 * 4 mm.
2. The corner can be cut with a suitable tool, for example, a grinder. It is important to consider the size of the purchased device, as well as the location where it will be installed.
3. The manufactured metal part must be coated with a suitable color.
4. Then plug the hole from the previously installed lock. To do this, you can use the plug from the manual window lifter. It also needs to be painted the same color.
5. If during installation of the product it was necessary to get rid of the wiper, you can use the wires coming from it and connect one to the drive of the part, and the second to the connector of the mounting block.
6. Return the bracket and tighten the finished fixation device.

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.

Kit selection

Installation will not be possible if you do not have at your disposal a set of equipment necessary for installation. Buying it is not difficult, but you need to think about which specific option is best for you.

In total, 2 solutions to the current situation are being considered. Namely.

• Factory set. Purchased from trusted and reputable manufacturers. The kit contains almost everything you need, so you don’t have to assemble different elements. But the price is naturally higher;
• Amateur kit. Here we are talking about independently preparing all the necessary components. The motorist is faced with the question of where exactly to get them and how to choose a set so that everything fits. It is difficult to do this without relevant experience and certain knowledge. But you can save a lot of money financially.

I don’t know what exactly you will choose, but I want to give one piece of advice. Buy an electric drive equipped with an inertia mechanism. This will allow you to turn off the drive when an obstacle appears in the path of the luggage compartment lid. Roughly speaking, the drive will not pinch your hand or head when you poke around in the trunk.

So the inertial mechanism is a very useful thing.

If we talk about assembling a homemade kit, then it is important to collect several basic elements. These include:

• power window module 2 pieces;
• 2 mechanisms for lifting glass;
• wires;
• diodes;
• electromagnetic relay;
• five-pin relays;
• four-pin relays;
• Relay connection block;
• springs for the lid lock;
• power tools;
• wiring;
• nuts, bolts;
• Bulgarian, etc.

As you can see, the set is quite impressive. Therefore, consider whether it is worth trying to assemble the kit yourself. Sometimes it is much easier and even more economical to purchase a ready-made factory kit with a guarantee and all the associated benefits. Price does not always play a key role.
