Why doesn't the driver's door open on the Lada Priora?

Currently, many car enthusiasts are asking the question: why doesn’t the driver’s door open (despite efforts) on a new or not so Priora? It is worth noting in this regard that all problems mainly arise from the fault of the central locking. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the owners simply do not find the necessary information.

The main signs of a malfunction in the locking system installed by the manufacturer on Priora are as follows:

• the door does not close;
• does not open;
• unlocks on its own.

Moreover, car enthusiasts often complain that it is impossible to open the lock with a key, from a key fob or from the inside.

In reality, in about 90 cases out of a hundred, the culprit of the malfunction is the lock installed directly inside the driver's door.

How the system works

central electronic unit;

driver's door electronic unit (can be combined with the central unit);

electronic units for driver, passenger and rear doors (may be missing);

push-button switches for driver, passenger and rear doors;

limit switches for closing windows and doors;

control units and window lift drives.

In most car models, the power window and central locking control units are connected into a single system. When closing the doors, the central locking system must poll the limit switches of all windows so as not to accidentally park the car and guard it with the windows open. Therefore, the failure to close the doors is often associated with a malfunction of the window regulator controls.

For a 2005 VW Passat, the electrical circuit for the central locking looks like this:

This diagram does not show and label all the elements, but it is clear that the circuit is very complex, perhaps the most complex among the main electronic modules of a car.

At the same time, the central locking control circuit has the longest electrical wiring, which is distributed throughout the vehicle interior and has flexible corrugated hoses at the points of transition to the door space. Among other difficulties, car doors have maximum mobility relative to the interior; their interior space is susceptible to corrosion.

Despite the above difficulties, car models after the 2000 release have fairly reliable electronic central locking systems; their main malfunctions are often determined by mechanical breakdowns, faulty contacts, and wear on the door suspension.

Adjustment on Kalina

Typically, it is necessary to adjust the operation of the lock on this model if there is excessive noise that occurs when closing the doors. It rarely gets to the point where the locking device works poorly. To work, you need a Phillips screwdriver, a wrench and a screwdriver with an asterisk. The work is carried out in the following order:

• Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws securing the clamp. It is secured with two Phillips screws and one sprocket;
• We make adjustments. The shift here is made up or down;
• Tighten the screws in the selected position.

To reduce noise, you can put a silicone cap on the clamp. If this procedure does not help, then it makes sense to tighten the screws securing the door hinges.

The door does not open in cold weather

Most often this happens after washing a car or driving in the rain, when dampness gives way to negative temperatures. Usually the larva freezes completely in the lock. Sometimes the lubricant in the drive or rod also hardens.

Knowledgeable car owners advise warming up the constipation (for example, with a hairdryer) and then lubricating it with WD-40. Moreover, the procedure must be repeated after each significant wetness of the car.

In addition, it will also help:

• turning on autostart with constant heating of the interior;
• disassembling the door and adjusting the lock components;
• use any silicone-based lubricant.

The rear doors of the Lada Grant do not open from the inside, what should I do?

Car: Lada Granta. Asked by: Maria Cherkashina. Question: The child was playing around, now I can’t open the back door.

Boys, save the girl! I can't open the back door at all.

Trying to open the back door

The child played around with the door and now it doesn’t open from the inside at all. And it opens from the outside. The right one does not open, but the left one does. What to do?

The rear doors do not open - the child lock is “activated”

An expert on Lada cars with many years of experience. I own a Lada Granta car, I collect cramps based on the Priora.

Sometimes I stay overnight in the garage. My wife is more jealous of cars than of women.

Protection against opening the rear door from the passenger compartment is available on every car. It's called child protection.

Some useful tips

The first dismantling can cause a number of difficulties and wrong decisions. To avoid damaging the door and its upholstery, follow these rules:

• Do not attempt to remove a Torx bolt with a regular screwdriver. It is shaped like a star and cannot be grasped tightly with the normal end. At best, nothing will come of it. In the worst case, the edges will collapse and it will become difficult to twist even with the original nozzle. The bits are inexpensive, and will save a lot of time and nerves.
• It is necessary to de-energize the vehicle when performing any wiring work. A sloppy contact can easily short out to ground or to another wire. The consequences are a blown fuse, a short circuit, failure of sensitive units. A few minutes spent disconnecting the battery is not that much time.
• Each connection block has its own sets of grooves. Don’t be afraid to connect the contact “in the wrong place” - you won’t be able to insert it anywhere else.
• Do not leave damaged wire sections inside the door. They can cause poor contact or shortness.
• It’s better to get a new Phillips screwdriver with “fresh” edges. Unscrewing licked screws takes a lot of time and patience.
• When working with upholstery, try to keep the tool clean. Getting the covering material dirty is a matter of seconds.

Removing doors does not require much qualification. The tips given will help even an inexperienced motorist dismantle the assembly.

How to remove a door on a Priora: rear, front. Photo instructions 5 (100%) 2 votes

Device

The weakest point of the Priora locking system is the microswitch. The electrical package itself, used on the model in question, is a rather complex device. It is his responsibility to receive the owner’s command to unlock or lock the door. Having received a certain signal, it activates certain electrical networks that supply the drive. In this case, the electrical package can perceive orders in two ways at once:

• from the key fob;
• from microswitch.

In the first case, having sensed the order to close, the immobilizer turns off the alarm and energizes the electric drive of the lock, closing or, conversely, opening the contact groups of the microswitch.

Why is everything arranged this way? Everything is simple, because the command in this situation can be received not only from the key fob, but also from the switch if the car owner used the key. This allows the immobilizer, when the security alarm is activated, after detecting a raised blocker, to immediately begin to act according to the alarm protocol.

So, the biggest problem of the Priora is water getting inside the door. As a result, the contact groups of the microswitch quickly oxidize and become overgrown with verdigris, similar to moss. The volume of the working surface increases significantly and the contacts stick together. In addition, the oxides have fairly good conductivity. As a result, the passing tension is perceived as an order to unlock or lock the doors.

It is possible to get rid of such a malfunction only after replacing the blocker, or the microswitch itself.

Other most common problems and ways to eliminate them are described below.

Necessary tools and detailed instructions

To begin with, you should understand that the car is already locked and do not panic under any circumstances. After all, excessive fuss will not help matters. You need to make a choice about how to open the car - this determines the choice of tool that may be needed when performing various manipulations. How to open a Priora without a key? Easily! All you need to do is have a small hammer, several screwdrivers (flat and Phillips), several meters of strong wire, wooden wedges and adhesive tape on hand.

The Lada Priora car has basic security functions in its arsenal - central locking is part of the standard security system installed by the factory. Therefore, to open your own car you will need a wire that does not have a large cross-section in diameter, but has sufficient rigidity. At the end of this wire you need to make a small hook, and the wire itself should be from 60 to 90 centimeters long. This hook needs to be squeezed between the rubber seal of the side passenger or driver's window and the glass itself.

Next, you need to push the larva so that it rests against the rod

As soon as this happens, you need to pick up the dog as carefully as possible, and then just carefully lift it. If all of the above steps are performed correctly, the door should open.

The next method, which will give a detailed answer to the question “How can you open the Priora door without a key?” If the first method fails or there is an acute shortage of thin wire, it is time to use the next method. For this you will need wooden wedges and adhesive tape. The width of the wedges should be within 30-50 millimeters; before using them, it is advisable to wrap them with a thin rag.

Then the wedges should be carefully driven into the gap, which is located between the body and the door itself. In order to preserve the paintwork of the car, it is strongly recommended to cover the entire work area with adhesive tape in order to avoid accidental scratches or chips. After this, you can insert a wire with a large diameter into the resulting gap and use it as a shoulder in order to reach the central locking button or get to the handle that opens the car door.

The third method involves having a thin and long metal ruler. If you have it at hand, then just squeeze it into the gap between the rubber seal and the glass directly opposite the handle to open the side door. Using vertical movements up and down, as well as small lateral deviations, you need to find the desired lever, which, even with a slight mechanical impact on it, will open the car door.

The fourth method is the simplest of those presented, but also the most expensive. If you don't even have the few minutes it takes to do the above methods, you can use a hammer or heavy stone to break the window. Please note that you should break the side window for the sake of safe driving, because if you break the windshield, visibility will deteriorate, but also in order to save the family budget.

It is also worth noting the fact that breaking the front window of someone else’s car without the owner’s consent can be prosecuted under the laws of the Russian Federation, and even a criminal case can be initiated. Before hitting, it is better to cover the impact area with a small rag or use your own jacket or T-shirt to prevent the glass from scattering randomly. It is also not necessary to break the entire window, just a hole where a hand can fit through is enough, so it is recommended to hit with a sharp end.

Each of the presented methods has the right to exist, because situations can be varied. But if you have time, a small and literally symbolic amount of money, then it is better to use the services of professionals.

In any locality there is a service center for Russian-made cars with a qualified employee who has excellent knowledge of the current issue and can open the front or rear door of the car quickly and without causing damage to the paintwork. How to open a Lada Priora without a key, using a ruler or other methods? It’s quite simple, you just need to read the instructions provided.

How to open a Lada Kalina car without a key if it slams shut

If for any reason you do not have the ability to use the two methods listed above, which provide the ability to open the Priora without a key, you need to break something or simply break it. In this case, glass is more reliable. But here's some advice to give.

Before breaking or smashing anything, you need to find out what the cost of restoring the damage will be in material terms. In general, what is cheaper is what is small in size. If you choose to damage the glass, you should simply purchase replacement glass in advance.

To hit the glass, it is best to use a heavy hammer. The blow to the glass should not be applied too much, trying to do it in the center of the glass being broken. With glass sheets, of course, there is always one point, an impact from which can break the glass if it is not applied very well. You, such points are located in the center of the glass.

If the proposed solutions to the problem of how to open a Priora are not suitable for you, it is better to contact a company that provides door opening services.

Professional employees of such a company, after checking your personal documents and documents for the car, using their own equipment, will instantly open the locked doors of the Priora. This method is certainly harmless and more applicable among the options proposed above for solving the problem.

When closed, I personally filmed the back door: it’s an unscrewed door locking pin, plus two bolts (stars) in the handle niche, plus a bolt on the door opening handle, and that’s it, you carefully pull the door card towards you, it sits on the bugs on the sides, they are at the same time Oddly enough, they don’t suffer. The front one is heavier, the bolt is also in the opening handle, two with an asterisk in the niche of the closing handle, two at the bottom along the niche for the mess... two at the bottom edge. Here you will need to carefully bend the door card towards yourself and snap off the lock rods blindly, then the lower bolts. This is all done when the door from the car's interior is jammed. With jammed front ones there will be a lot of swearing, but they can be sorted out in the same way from the interior, just with less effort and more time. The service will charge from 1000 rubles for this, and the main thing is that it’s a Priora, everything is always understood in it, don’t ever rush to drag yourself to the service)) either beer and a careful consideration of the source of the problem, or swearing and effort))

I’ve never taken the door apart, so I can’t help...(

When open, it can be easily disassembled. On the nine and with the door closed, you can remove the upholstery.

I filmed on the nines and filmed on the backs, I’m talking about a person’s problem with opening the door...

who knows, I had something similar, I removed the trim and bent the rods, the trim can be easily removed by the way, without any services

Is it possible to remove the trim on a closed door? And How?

Make your life easier and brighter

How to remove the rear trim on a Priora

If the car has a full power package (front and rear electric windows), the procedure is practically no different from dismantling the front panels. If manual window drives are installed on the rear door trims, proceed according to the following scheme:

Prepare a thin flat-head screwdriver. Use it to pry the handle lock and press it away from the round socket (it is located right next to the casing).

Gently apply force with a screwdriver to the plastic elements. They “don’t like” strong pressure.

Move the latch so that it comes out of the socket. Take it off.

Pull the window handle and the base itself out of the mechanism shaft.

Unscrew the screw securing the door opening housing with a Phillips screwdriver.

Slowly pry up and remove the panel.

We unscrew the cap of the locking mechanism by hand.

The casing is freed from attachments, you can begin to dismantle it from the plastic clips. The procedure is the same as for the front door, except there are no screws at the bottom of the trim.

Causes of malfunctions

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The rod that connects the handles with the locking mechanism has disappeared. The door does not unlock from either side.
4. Wear of parts of the locking device.
5. 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.

The doors are frozen, what should I do?

In winter, you won’t be able to open a frozen door using force alone. The situation arises in two cases:

1. During the thaw, moisture got on the seals, and the frost formed an ice crust.
2. After washing, the owner of the car did not dry the rubber sealing elements of the body.

Using an ordinary hairdryer, the motorist will solve the problem. It is not recommended to heat surfaces with boiling water, as the enamel will fade and the car windows may crack.

By lightly tapping the perimeter of the sealing element, the frozen ice crust is destroyed. Antifreeze liquid will help if you pour it in a gentle stream. When you manage to open one of the doors, you need to start the engine and turn on the heater. The car interior will warm up and the ice on the frozen seals will melt.

If all the doors freeze, you will have to act decisively, using physical force. You need to pull the part sharply and firmly. It is better to choose not the driver’s one, but the one that is used less. Mechanical impact may damage the handle and sealing elements.

An emergency situation does not exclude entry into the car through the trunk, which is easier to open with a strong jerk.

Key programming instructions for Lada Kalina, Priora, Granta, etc.

1. Close all doors. Turn on the ignition with the training key and wait in the on state for at least 6 seconds.
2. Turn off the ignition. The indicator light in the warning lamp unit should flash quickly (at a frequency of 5 times per second) while the learning procedure is being carried out correctly. If the lamp stops flashing quickly, it indicates an incorrect operation, an out-of-time interval, or a malfunction. Remove the training key from the ignition switch.
3. While the warning lamp is flashing (about 6 seconds), insert the remote control and turn on the ignition. The immobilizer buzzer should emit three beeps. If the buzzer does not sound and the indicator has stopped flashing, this means: - the time interval of 6 seconds has been exceeded and it is necessary to repeat the learning procedure, starting from step 1; -immobilizer is faulty
4. Wait 6 seconds for the buzzer to emit two more beeps and turn off the ignition.
5. If it is necessary to train the second remote control, then you should perform steps 3...4 again, using the second learning remote control to turn on the ignition. If not, continue from step 6.
6. After turning off the ignition for no more than 6 seconds, while the indicator is flashing, remove the remote control, insert the learning key and turn on the ignition. The buzzer should beep three times. Wait 6 seconds until the buzzer beeps two more times.
7. Turn off the ignition without removing the training key, wait 6 seconds until the buzzer sounds a single sound signal. The indicator should flash twice as fast. If the sound signal does not sound and the flashing indicator stops, you should return to step 1 and repeat the learning procedure. If a repeated failure occurs when performing step 7, this means that the ECM was previously trained with a different key, in which case the controller should be replaced.
8. After the buzzer gives a single sound signal, no later than 3 seconds, turn on the ignition for 2...3 seconds and then turn it off (after turning on the ignition, the buzzer will sound three times and the indicator will stop flashing). The hazard warning lights should flash and the car horn should beep.
9. Remove the learning key. Wait with the ignition off for at least 10 seconds. Insert the working key and turn on the ignition. Wait 6 seconds, if the indicator does not flash, test start the engine, the engine should start. If the indicator flashes, turn off the ignition and wait at least 10 seconds. Turn on the ignition. The warning light should not flash and the engine should start. If, after turning on the ignition, after 6 seconds the indicator lights up with a constant light, then the learning procedure must be repeated, starting from step 1.

Functions and purpose of the central lock

The car's central locking is the “heart” of the security system. Responsible for monitoring the locks in the car. That is why it is called central. The signal sent from the key fob symbolizing the central control unit closes or opens the doors, windows, trunk and hatch.

Central locking is one of the car's auxiliary comfort systems. The development of the central locking system does not stand still. New car models are equipped with a system that ensures automatic closing of door locks when driving. Some car models combine central locking and alarm systems under a single control.

Problems, solutions

The reasons for car blocking are conventionally divided into two groups - electronics and mechanical faults leading to blocking.

Alarm fault

A signal is sent from the device's key fob to the central locking, and the car is automatically locked. The key fob may not work if the battery is low. The car remains on alarm. To eliminate the malfunction, the key fob battery is replaced.

The system malfunctions, the signal is not transmitted to the receiving device, and the car is not blocked. The problem has two common causes:

1. Malfunction of the car alarm system.
2. The appearance of interference on the device frequency.

Security systems and radio stations operating on the same radio frequency create malfunctions in the operation of car alarms.

In both cases, the owner will have to open the car with the key and unlock it. The operating instructions indicate methods that allow you to disarm the car without using the key fob.

Mechanical problems

Dust, dirt, and various debris get into the lock cylinder, which can cause the mechanism to jam. Parts break, causing the locking device to malfunction. The car door cannot be opened from the inside. Another reason for a mechanical lock malfunction is unsuccessful attempts to break into the car by intruders. When breaking in, the door with the keyhole jams. The driver gets into the car, opening others. You can get into the car through the trunk.

In case of mechanical breakdowns of locking devices, repair or replacement of the mechanism is necessary. Working with imported cars is difficult because it requires professional skills. Therefore, it is better to contact specialists to determine why the front door of a foreign car does not open from the inside. For prevention, it is recommended to clean the locks, remove dirt, lubricate the locking mechanism, and periodically use the key to open it.

Algorithm of actions in case of jamming with central locking

Most often, the driver's door with central locking does not open on frosty days. The following problem is observed: the levers on the key fob open, you can only enter from the passenger side, or all the doors except the driver's open. It happens, on the contrary, all the doors are jammed, the driver's door can be opened with the key. All this could be a sign of a blown fuse: its electrical circuit stops working. In such a situation, there can be a huge number of reasons for this, including faulty wiring, broken wires; a specialist will be able to accurately determine them after diagnosis. It is worth calling a specialist to unlock it. What advice can you give to a car owner?

1. From time to time it is necessary to open the doors with a key. This will help prevent the cylinder from sticking and will keep the locking mechanism in working order.
2. There is no need to try to warm the locks using a hairdryer or boiling water.

Castle repair

What should you do if the door does not open from the inside of your VAZ 2110:

1. We open the car door from the outside with the key.
2. We remove the lining. Unscrew the fastening screws around the entire perimeter.
3. Take a flat screwdriver. We pry off the handle attachment.
4. There are a couple of screws under the handle. We unscrew them.
5. We remove the speaker of the acoustic system. Simply remove it without disconnecting the wires.
6. Carefully remove the trim, pulling the panel towards you along the perimeter.
7. Under the trim panel there is the base of the handle, it is attached to the screws, unscrew them. Now the plastic tip of the VAZ becomes visible.
8. Remove the old tip from the thread.
9. We screw in a new part instead.
10. We try to open and close the door several times. The lock should open the first time.
11. Insert the tip into the pen.

Device

The weakest point of the Priora locking system is the microswitch. The electrical package itself, used on the model in question, is a rather complex device. It is his responsibility to receive the owner’s command to unlock or lock the door. Having received a certain signal, it activates certain electrical networks that supply the drive. In this case, the electrical package can perceive orders in two ways at once:

In the first case, having sensed the order to close, the immobilizer turns off the alarm and energizes the electric drive of the lock, closing or, conversely, opening the contact groups of the microswitch.

Why is everything arranged this way? Everything is simple, because the command in this situation can be received not only from the key fob, but also from the switch if the car owner used the key. This allows the immobilizer, when the security alarm is activated, after detecting a raised blocker, to immediately begin to act according to the alarm protocol.

So, the biggest problem of the Priora is water getting inside the door. As a result, the contact groups of the microswitch quickly oxidize and become overgrown with verdigris, similar to moss. The volume of the working surface increases significantly and the contacts stick together. In addition, the oxides have fairly good conductivity. As a result, the passing tension is perceived as an order to unlock or lock the doors.

It is possible to get rid of such a malfunction only after replacing the blocker, or the microswitch itself.

Other most common problems and ways to eliminate them are described below.

Peculiarities

Unlike other models coming off the assembly line of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, the Priora does not have a separate control unit on the central lock. Its functions are performed by a single electrical package controller. In addition to this unit, the vehicle protection system installed at production also includes an APS-6 type immobilizer. Thanks to this, the car owner does not need to install an additional security system on his car.

In reality, there are quite a lot of reasons for the central locking malfunction. Problems often arise due to:

If this or that problem occurs, you should pay attention to the window regulators, as well as the adjustment of the mirrors. If they do not function, then, most likely, the failure occurred due to a malfunction of the signal wiring coming from the 5th pin of the driver's door module or from the 5th pin of the HZ terminal, which supplies the controller itself.

Also, quite often, the failure of the central locking is caused by a malfunction of the immobilizer itself, because both of these elements are interconnected.

A breakdown in such a situation will be indicated by an audible alarm and flashing indicators.

Below we describe the most common breakdowns with central locking in Priora and ways to eliminate them.

How to prevent such situations?

"Forewarned is forearmed!"

To prevent difficulties, do not forget about timely lubrication of the locking elements. Fasteners and hinges require close attention. Children should not be allowed to hang on the doors or lean on the body themselves: this leads to their deformation. The slightest misalignment can cause the locking device to jam.

Blocking is caused by poor-quality drying during the washing process, or a sharp decrease in air temperature after the heat. We advise you to constantly monitor the condition of the seals, wipe them from condensation in rain or snowstorms. You can prevent condensation from forming by not immediately closing the doors before leaving the “swallow” in the cold: the advice is to keep them open for a while. It is highly not recommended to use a lighter to “freeze” locks. A good alternative option is a keychain-defrost, a special anti-freeze spray.

Rubber gaskets must be lubricated with silicone grease containing water-repellent substances. Thanks to this technique, a film coating is formed that serves as good protection. In winter, it is better not to leave the “steel horse” in the cold; the best solution would be to use a heated parking lot.

Currently, many car enthusiasts are asking the question: why doesn’t the driver’s door open (despite efforts) on a new or not so Priora? It is worth noting in this regard that all problems mainly arise from the fault of the central locking. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the owners simply do not find the necessary information.

The main signs of a malfunction in the locking system installed by the manufacturer on Priora are as follows:

• the door does not close;
• does not open;
• unlocks on its own.

Moreover, car enthusiasts often complain that it is impossible to open the lock with a key, from a key fob or from the inside.

In reality, in about 90 cases out of a hundred, the culprit of the malfunction is the lock installed directly inside the driver's door.

Repair of electric central locking

Central locking systems with solenoids are factory installed on domestic cars. Such systems begin to malfunction after a year or two, for example, the passenger door does not close from the central lock, or the central lock closes and opens immediately. The reason for this is the sensitivity of the system to humidity and temperature changes. The solenoids begin to “stick,” which subsequently leads to their complete failure. The way out of the situation is to disassemble each of them, clean and apply new lubricant. It is better to immediately replace the solenoids with drives with motors.

If the central locking does not close the rear doors, or other incomplete operation is noted, the reasons can be sought in the following:

In this case, it is optimal to start repairs by testing the power supply to the drive that does not operate. When you turn on the “close” mode on the remote control, power should flow to the first wire - this moment is recorded with a multimeter. When you try to open the central locking system, the voltage disappears on this wire and appears on another. If the test results are exactly like this, then the problem is in the drive itself, which is easier to replace with a new one, since not every malfunction can be eliminated, especially on your own.

If the problem is in the wiring, you will have to test the entire circuit up to the activator separately. The most common problem is a break in the wire running between the door and the body. Despite its placement in additional corrugated insulation, a break or break in this place is commonplace. Therefore, checking the wiring can be started from here, but if after restoring the wiring the power is not restored, the problem may lie in the relay or the wiring after it. Possible problems with central locking are described in the video:

The door does not open in cold weather

Most often this happens after washing a car or driving in the rain, when dampness gives way to negative temperatures.
Usually the larva freezes completely in the lock. Sometimes the lubricant in the drive or rod also hardens. Knowledgeable car owners advise warming up the constipation (for example, with a hairdryer) and then lubricating it with WD-40. Moreover, the procedure must be repeated after each significant wetness of the car.

In addition, it will also help:

• turning on autostart with constant heating of the interior;
• disassembling the door and adjusting the lock components;
• use any silicone-based lubricant.

How to replace a door lock cylinder in a Priora

The lock cylinder is used to replace or repair the door (painting, straightening).

1. First of all, you will need to perform the following manipulation: remove the door trim.
2. Then, from the inside, you need to carefully use a Phillips screwdriver to pry off the rod that is directed towards the cylinder. Now the larva is attached only with the help of a single metal bracket, which is pryed and removed with pliers.
3. After this, you need to get the larva (assembled) from the other side.
4. It’s time to start installing a new larva. It must be placed in the same place and the door lock rod must be attached to the previous area. It is necessary to take into account that when replacing one cylinder, it is time to use another key. The latter will be able to open the door manually without the help of a key fob.

Most car lock cylinder failures do not happen suddenly. The main factor leading to damage is considered to be prolonged non-use of the lock due to the presence of a remote control. As a result of such downtime, the lock itself begins to rust and oxidize, or, conversely, the car owner uses the lock regularly, and, like every spare part of the car, it is subject to wear and tear. In addition, some parts may break.

It is important to periodically check the lock for functionality, because this is not a long and especially not difficult manipulation. However, such care in a certain situation will help you save both money and precious time.

There are times when a motorist has other plans or does not have the necessary skills, in which case you should not break open the door or break the glass. Then it makes sense to contact specialists who will quickly and efficiently open your car without damage and restore the lock’s operation.

Prevention

If you take simple steps in advance, on a winter morning you won’t have to urgently decide how to open the door in a car frozen in the cold. It is well known that the best option to combat any problem is prevention. Prevention is always easier than correction.

To prevent the castle from freezing

We have already found out that water frozen inside the lock can prevent the car door from opening. Ice literally glues the parts of the mechanism, blocking their movement. It doesn’t matter whether moisture got into the keyhole during washing or as a result of a thaw - in the cold the result is the same.

We already know about the MAX product, we just need to add that if you use it regularly, your castle will not be afraid of winter frosts. A film of molybdenum disulfide molecules will prevent ice from sticking to metal parts and hindering their movement.

The Silicone Wax spray Suprotek Aprokhim also showed excellent results. This lubricant was specially developed to prevent icing of car door locks and wiper blades. It does its job perfectly. Suprotec “Silicone Wax” also protects rubber seals from freezing and battery terminals from corrosion.

To prevent the seal around the door from freezing

The importance of this measure cannot be overestimated. When the door lock is frozen, you can get out of the situation by spraying MASK or a similar product inside, but when the seal around the perimeter is frozen, it is much more difficult to deal with. We need to prevent this problem.

Prevention is the only effective means of dealing with a situation where the doors, hood and trunk of a car are frozen on a frosty morning. Pouring hot water is harmful to paintwork, and defrosting it with a hairdryer takes a long time, and it is not a guarantee that you will not damage the varnish. You shouldn't open it with brute force unless you want to break the handle.

Here we will again need the spray lubricant from Suprotek Aprokhim. Before the onset of winter, apply “Silicone wax” to the seals, and you won’t have to worry about how to open a frozen car door - there won’t be such a problem.

Gift set Aprokhim (gasoline). Additive, lubricant, liquid key

The auto chemical gift set contains three packages of SGA fuel additive, Silicone Wax, MASK key lubricant and car interior air freshener. All this is packed in a thermos bag, which is included free of charge.

The “Aprokhim” set is profitable when purchasing - all products included in it have a discount from the retail price. The “Aprokhim” set is a wonderful gift for a car owner, regardless of the occasion.

How to tighten your grip on a grant

Good day. Probably many owners of the grant were tormented by the backlash of the door handles, so this misfortune befell me, although trouble is a strong word. The first step is to remove the door card, it is held on by 5 bolts.

After we have removed all the bolts, we begin to pull off the door card. I started bending from bottom to top. Don't forget to remove the door lock.

Now you need to find the bolt that holds the place of the handle that is dangling.

The next stage is removing and bending the culprit of this play - the hook!))

We bend the handle and pull it out, take the pliers and squeeze it just a little.

The place where the handle scratches the door can be lubricated with grease or Movml or something else.

Now we insert it back into the handle and screw it through the same hole through which we unscrewed it.

Well, we tighten everything in reverse order).

Maybe my post will help someone

Modification of the rear handle on the VAZ 1118 Kalina - 1 answer

The handle begins to wobble due to the fact that the metal petal with the “groove” unbends during operation. This is the peculiarity of the mechanism.

To fix this, to repair Kalina’s door handle, you need to remove the door trim, and then tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver and then try to bend the shaped petal.

It happens that the thread on the handle breaks off (if you overtighten the nut). To fix it, you need to remove the handle and grind off the screw head, then drill out the remaining parts from the petal into a cone. Next, you need to select a suitable countersunk screw and solder it.

Car: Lada Kalina. Asks: Vladimir Smirnov. 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.

How to open a car door if the handles are broken

An applicable option for how to open a car door: if the handle breaks, it will depend on which door you need to open, the front or the back. The panel, the back of the seat, or the way the locking mechanism is fastened may interfere. Most often, two methods help: opening through the glass seal and removing (complete or partial) the door card.

How to open with a hook through a seal

This is what the jumper looks like, which we hook with wire

If the driver's door handle is broken and the other one also does not work, you can try to gain access to the lock rod by removing the outer glass seal (if possible). This is often done during thefts!

All you need is a rigid piece of wire or another thin oblong object about 30 cm long. You can remove such a piece of iron in the field, for example, from a windshield wiper blade.

The opening procedure is as follows:

We take out the rubber or plastic outer glass seal molding. Usually it is simply removed upwards; it is enough to pry it from below with something thin and sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc.). To avoid damaging the paint, you can wrap the instrument with tape, tape, or adhesive tape.

How to open a door on a VAZ 2110 and other models through the external seal molding

This method of opening the door is suitable in many cases when the outside handle is broken, but not always, there are exceptions. If the lock is located closer to the interior door panel, or too low, then it may not be possible to open it from the outside in this way. Then you need to get into the salon through another door and gain access to the fastenings of the door card in order to remove it and activate the mechanism manually. This is how you should act in situations with broken internal and external handles, as well as when the door lock is blocked.

How to open a door by disassembling the door card

Removing the door card is the most universal method of action. When the door is locked or due to a lock failure, getting to the fastenings is not easy.

In most cars, the upholstery is secured with clips (also known as clips or clips), but in addition to them there may also be screws that are located not only in the handle, but also at the bottom of the door.

How to remove a door card if the handles are broken?

Before removing the trim, be sure to look for a diagram or video of disassembling the door of your car, since the procedure is similar for everyone, but different models have their own nuances. The general algorithm of actions is as follows:

We remove the “shell” of the handle, which often sits on one screw and/or latches. If after this you immediately gain access to the rod or cable and it becomes clear that the part on the handle that acts on this rod or cable has broken off, you can immediately pull it manually and open the door.

Prior door lock does not open

What could this be and the price of the issue?

Car 2008 I hardly ever use the rear doors. About two years ago I noticed that the left door stopped coming off. Somehow it opened, I filled it with VD and the hinges and into the lock itself, it seemed to be better. About six months later it was necessary, again no. Well, okay, it seems, it’s not really necessary, there’s also the right rear one). And then the other day I looked and the right one was jammed.

Now both rear doors cannot be opened either from the inside or from the outside.

The car is mine, I’m the only owner, there were no accidents - that’s for sure, it’s summer now and car washes have nothing to do with it either. There are no children either - I didn’t do any child locks, everything was fine with the levers. The buttons on the alarm remote control are responsive, i.e. there is a mode for opening only the front doors - no, I have it set to all 4. Yes, it’s a hatchback body. The storage is in a garage and everything is fine with the body and geometry.

Remove the seat then the trim (there are no bolts there). You pull the rod manually, open the door, fill all the connections of the rods with VD (there is no need to spare the VD, you need to pour it humanly) and after that, work the lock 30-40 times, and then pour everything well with silicone grease.

And let them adjust your rods; they are 100% not adjusted.

In the service, this whole procedure will cost mere trifles. You can do it yourself, but since you are a woman, ask your husband or lover)))

My nephew Priora, the back door behind the driver did not open, we did everything ourselves and quite quickly. Prior has such a disease.

The door is locked

Sometimes it happens that when you open it with the key, the driver’s door lock does not respond and it remains locked. Moreover, often the rest function normally. As a rule, the problem here lies either in the electric motor of the lock or in the jamming of its mechanical part.

Adjustment and lubrication will help here. If the motor breaks down, it will need to be replaced with a new one.

How to properly replace door hinges.

The repairs made, of course, depend on the cause of the sagging and the condition of the hinges. If the driver's door is sagging due to worn-out hinges, then you can replace the axle (if the hinges themselves are in good condition), but it is still safer to replace the entire set, since the entire structure is subject to wear.

To replace door hinges you need to do the following:

• First, remove the driver's door;
• then the loops are cut off, since they are welded;
• to remove all the remnants of the loop, you need to drill them out;
• To install a new hinge, you need to make (drill) a hole on the side for a bolt, which after installation will need to be trimmed with a grinder.

After the replacement has been made, it is very important to make adjustments following the algorithm:

To facilitate adjustment, the mating part of the lock is dismantled; The correct position of the car door along the vertical axis is determined. To do this, it is closed and the offsets are determined. We can eliminate this defect by loosening the door hinges and then raising (or lowering) the doors; The fasteners are tightened well and the location relative to the opening is checked. If the end part is shifted downwards, the lower fastening is released. After this, using thin metal plates, achieve the normal position of the door, placing them under the hinge. If, on the contrary, the edge of the door is raised, the same thing is done only with respect to the top hinge. Horizontal position is adjustable. If the door is too recessed into the interior, the hinges move closer to the edge. Otherwise (when the door protrudes outward), the hinges are moved inside the car

This process needs to be given special attention, since a violation of the horizontal position can cause the door to jam due to improper functioning of the lock. After the doors are correctly aligned, the mechanical lock and its counterpart are adjusted.

After all the manipulations done, the car door should open and close without difficulty with a characteristic bang. The tightness of the bolts should be checked regularly. All locking mechanisms and hinges must be lubricated periodically.

To ensure the durability of your car door hinges, do not do the following:

• leave doors open for a long time;
• lean with your full weight and do not hang heavy objects;
• slam doors hard.

• Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
• Hides from photo and video recording;
• Suitable for all cars;
• Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
• Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.

Cheap replacement for a jammed lock on a Priora.

The old lock on the Priora is jammed

The door lock is stuck in the open position (the door will not close). I had to disassemble the door and get the internal door closing mechanism:

After a light wash in alkali and acid, it is clear that the lock is heavily corroded and the movement of the main levers is difficult. The main release lever was jammed, which was the reason why the door would not close. The advantage of the design is that the lock is more likely to jam from corrosion in the open position than in the closed position. I think there is no need to explain the advantages: if the lock is jammed in the closed state, then it is very difficult to disassemble the door

Based on the design, it is difficult to give advice on what to do if the lock on the Priora is jammed; you definitely cannot use increased effort to open the lock!

. When experimenting with the above rusty lock, the best results when using the lever to open are obtained by repeated, small, rhythmic blows on the opening mechanisms. That is, instead of forcefully pulling the inner opening handle, it’s better to easily pull it 10 times without applying significant force. You can try to unscrew the lock button inside the cabin and blow WD40 into the indicated hole so that at least a little gets on the internal lock and at least somehow lubricates the mechanism.

If the lock is jammed in the closed position without disassembling the door, you can try: 1) unlock the door as much as possible using the button, key, and key fob (it’s better to have more attempts with a little effort than one attempt with a lot of effort, when it will cut the cravings to hell), 2) try open the door using a mechanism inside the door (several light and sharp efforts), which IMHO provides greater travel and pressure on the internal unlocking lever. Or from the handle on the outside of the door. If it doesn’t work out, there’s no need to panic or be nervous. Try this a couple of times.

If this does not help, then, on the contrary, you need to block the door as much as possible; it is organoleptically better to block it by the button (pip) and press it in conveniently, then make several light and rhythmic efforts to open the door using the internal door opening handle, then pull the internal opening handle door and at the same time with the other hand pull up the lock button, the combination of these actions on an old worn-out internal lock provides a slightly greater stroke of the opening lever. You can try this several times. If all else fails, then remove the seat and disassemble the door in an awkward position.

—————————————————————— Repair of the Priory castle

It is economically unjustified to repair an old lock and buy a 2170 lock, because there is a cheap lock with a 2108, the installation of which was previously described www.drive2.ru/l/5487127/ I even found records about modifications to the lock www.drive2.ru/l/465001060646257535/ for blocking it if necessary.

Now 06/04/2021 the price tags for internal locks (right - left) in my city are as follows: LADA 21080610501210 (21080610501310) - 272 rubles LADA 21700610501200 (21700610501300) - on average 1,337 rubles, the cheapest 881 rub. The main difference in the locks is that the lock from the Priora has a slightly different shape of the lever and an electric locking drive with a separate rod and bar. Lock 2108 is successfully upgraded to 2170, welding, drill and grinder to help. Profit in (1337 - 272 =) 1065 rub.

The new one looks like this:

A very important feature of modifying the lock 2108 to 2170 = you need to drill out and very accurately attach the bar for the locking gear motor to the new lock. First, the bar from the old lock is drilled out:

Then drill and tighten with one bolt, try it on in place on the car, bend/turn as required under your door, mark, double-check and only then tightly weld/rivet/screw it with bolts

.
Rivets are a more stable and reliable solution (the mechanical characteristics are more stable, they will not unwind or burst from vibration). The part is welded very poorly; you must first clean the galvanized layer and only then will it work out more or less. car roof rack like a boat
The old lock 2170 served for over 10 years in harsh conditions and failed due to corrosion. The factory mechanism is galvanized, but this was not enough for a long period of operation. The simplest solution is to additionally coat the lock levers with any film-forming compound. I cleaned the lock (gasoline, alkaline degreaser), sandblasted the welding area of ​​the strip and painted it with cheap NTs 132 gray. All costs for additional materials are covered by the difference in the cost of lock 2108 and 2170 (

1065 rub. difference) I painted in violation of technology: it is supposed to be matted first, then primed, and only then NTs132. But it’s just a Priora, more primer... still better than it was:

Why does the central locking system not work?

Quite often a situation arises when the central lock cannot be opened with a key or key fob. As a rule, the problem here is solely due to a faulty relay or due to damaged wiring.

If the key normally opens the central locking system, but the key fob does not, then most likely the battery in the latter is simply dead or its button needs to be cleaned. Experienced specialists note that in their practice, signal receiver or transmitter failures have occurred extremely rarely. You can check it simply - just use a spare remote control or insert a new power supply into the existing one.

The inability to open with the key is due to incorrect operation of the activator. This device is located directly in the driver's door, and it is responsible for distributing the signal through the locking mechanism. First of all, in this case, check:

To inspect the activator, you will need to remove the trim from the previously mentioned door.

Doors don't open well

Priora inherited the same locks on the doors, which were installed on two-wheelers and tens (which cannot be said about Kalina, where the door locking system was thought out).
Of my four doors, only one could be opened without effort, and the trunk also did not want to remain open, trying to crush its owner. Therefore, after waiting for warm spring days, it’s time to change something. I forgot to tell you about one more thing, maybe someone has come across it. When you open the driver's door, the central locking is activated and all doors lock spontaneously, and if you forget to slam the driver's door and leave the key in the ignition, you will have to go get a second set. It was very difficult for me to remove the casing; this is not the first time I have performed this procedure. Once again I want to note that the door trim is not comparable to previous VAZ models, everything is clear and thought out, the clips do not break, everything is done by a carpenter. Although the AvtoVAZ team added a bit of ointment, for which, when removing a simple trim, you need to stock up on a trox star wrench, which you need to unscrew two screws. What prevented me from installing the screw under the Phillips head screwdriver. So, friends, stock up on a set of such keys; Priora now has such fasteners everywhere. I can’t understand why the doors open worse and worse over time. Either the rods are stretched out, or there is free play in the lock mechanism, but one way or another you can adjust the opening mechanism by unscrewing the plastic along the thread and thus lengthening the long rod.

By lengthening the rod, we reduce the free play of the opening mechanism and it turns out that the mechanism is in a charged state. Just pull the handle and the mechanism, like a “cocked trigger,” immediately opens the car door. Now the doors work smoothly - just pull the door handle lightly from the outside and it opens easily. The remaining problem is that if you pull the driver's door handle too hard, the central locking is activated and all doors are locked. I couldn't achieve any results by adjusting the rods. It feels like the mechanism itself needs to be replaced.
