Removing locks from other interior doors is done in exactly the same way. Reinstallation of locks and latches is carried out in the same order, but in reverse order.
That being said, there are a few important points to keep in mind. First, before installation, all metal parts of the lock should be lubricated with thick lubricant.
Secondly, if necessary, you should adjust the length of the pull of the external handle - in this case, you need to ensure that the lock can be locked with a key without any difficulty.
Thirdly, you should adjust the new latch in the same way as when replacing the trunk lock.

The lock cylinder (lock cylinder) is a type of lock security mechanism, in the form of a cylinder, the working part of which can be rotated in the body only when a key is inserted into the cylinder hole. The uninterrupted operation of the lock cylinder protects the car from unauthorized entry and protects the owner’s property. Therefore, a malfunction of the lock cylinder is a serious concern that requires an immediate solution, and many car enthusiasts are seriously thinking about how to change the lock cylinder of a VAZ 2114 with their own hands.

Replacing and adjusting the trunk lock

The work is carried out in the following order:

The casing is removed.
Replace the support mechanism. If the lock's supporting tooth breaks. Replace not only the cylinder, but also the new body. In general, this work is no different from what needs to be done to repair a door lock.
Adjustment is carried out using the lower clamp. Unscrew the nuts and remove the washers. Assembling and disassembling the lock will help you adjust the lock. In this case, you need to act using the selection method. The desired result is the moment when the door closes effortlessly and does not vibrate when slamming and driving the car.

More extensive work is required if the retainer bushing is broken. If you are changing the lock assembly, then before its fasteners are fully tightened, you need to adjust the latch. Only after the lock closes perfectly can you tighten the fastening nuts to the maximum.

Reasons for replacing the VAZ 2114 lock cylinder

In the cold season, when you try to open a frozen lock, it turns out that it simply turns and does not open, and with excessive torque, the lock cylinder can come out of the handle socket along with the key. This problem is most often caused by the destruction of the locking ring and the falling out of the fixing post located in the plastic cap of the rod.
Another variant of the problem may be the partial functionality of the lock cylinder. Over time, the internal pins of the lock and the teeth of the key wear out, then, when you try to turn the lock, the parts of the lock cling to each other and prevent it from turning. At first, this problem does not seem that serious, but over time, selecting the desired “position” of the key becomes irritating.
The need to replace lock cylinders often arises when upgrading door handles to new domestic ones or to European handles.

Repair of interior door locks

Losing keys or jamming a lock is an unpleasant situation for any car enthusiast. Do not break the door or locking mechanism. Carefully open the door so as not to damage the rods and the body of the locking mechanism. After this, proceed to the rest of the work. Instructions for removing and replacing the Euro handle cylinder are as follows:

Remove the door trim. This job won't take much effort, but be careful not to damage the material.
Disconnecting the rods is one of the most difficult parts of the job. Pick up the bottom one with pliers and remove it from the handle. Then it is easy to insert it back. To remove the top one, press the screwdriver against the handle, thread the unnecessary wire through the rod and pull sharply. Without a screwdriver, the rod will bend.
Using a 8 key, unscrew the handle.
Before further work, remember the position of the lock. Pull out the pin from the side and remove the rod.
Remove the spring and pull out the cylinder.
Lubricate the groove where the cylinder was located with WD-40.
The new cylinder is supplied with the key. Do not remove it until the lock is installed. Sometimes a new part needs to be carefully finished with a file. This happens if it is made in China or is simply of poor quality.
If the pin does not fit into the hole freely, then you need to lightly file the place for it.

Assembly occurs in reverse order. Don't forget to connect the rods and check the lock's functionality before you lock the car for the first time. This work will take you no more than an hour. The trim is always installed last, after adjusting the locking mechanism.

Why do door locking mechanisms fail on a VAZ-2114?

There are several situations when it is necessary to replace the locking mechanism cylinder of a VAZ-2114:

Destruction of the locking ring and loss of the fixing post from the plastic cap of the rod. This breakdown often occurs in winter. You may notice that the lock simply begins to turn, but the door does not open. If you apply force, the lock cylinder and the key will come out of the handle socket.
Modernization, in which door handles are replaced with new ones or European-style models are installed.
Wear of mechanism parts. Due to intensive use, the mechanism partially loses its functionality: its pins and internal teeth wear out. With this breakdown, the lock cylinder stops turning because its metal parts cling to each other.

Recommendations from experienced car mechanics

There are several tips that you need to follow when handling the VAZ lock cylinder and when replacing it. Experts recommend:

If the lock is jammed and has problems opening, you need to choose the time to replace it. Lubricating the mechanism or repairing it are only temporary measures that can delay the failure of the locking device for several months.
To avoid having to replace it again after a year, it is necessary to lubricate regularly. To do this, you need to use silicone-based products.
Along with the cylinder, you will have to change the springs. Please note that they must be purchased separately.
Before removing the lock cylinder from the packaging (new) or before dismantling it, you must insert the key into it. This will help hold the pins in place. If this is not done, they will fall out, and the work contractor will have to collect them from the floor of the box for a long time.
The service life of the lock depends on the user. If you carry out preventive maintenance in a timely manner and work with it carefully, the mechanism will last longer.

To replace the lock, you will need to have a set of screwdrivers, pliers, and silicone grease on hand. But the most important thing is to purchase a complete cylinder kit.

Try to choose high-quality spare parts, since cheap locks from China (about 150 rubles each) usually do not survive the winter season. It is best to purchase domestically produced kits (AvtoVAZ or DAAZ), which are more expensive, but will also perform their functions for several years.

Recommendations

Reassembling and lubricating individual parts will not work if the fragments are heavily worn. It is better to remove the cylinder from the core and install a new one. Recommendations for replacing the VAZ 2114 door lock:

Partial repairs or lubrication will only temporarily restore life to the closing mechanism. If problems arise, it is better to replace the entire cylinder.
After installation, it is necessary to periodically lubricate the mechanism. Experienced motorists use silicone substances for this.
The repair procedure is carried out in a well-lit room at a comfortable temperature.
To change the element, you will need a set of screwdrivers, pliers and lubricant.
Sometimes the springs have to be replaced along with the cylinder. They are purchased separately.

Procedure for replacing the lock cylinder

For work, it is best to place the car in a box with good lighting. If it is winter, then the garage must be warm, otherwise the work will be difficult to complete. You need to act following the step-by-step instructions:

Insert the key into the lock and open the door. You will only be able to access the lock mechanism from the interior.
There are three self-tapping screws at the bottom of the decorative trim; unscrew them using a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the trim. Pull out the power window switch along with the wiring harness from the opened pocket. Disconnect them.
Use a screwdriver to remove the armrest handle cover.
Under this plug there are two screws that need to be removed.
Press out the fasteners securing the decorative plate on the inside of the door handle. Take it off.
Using a screwdriver, pull out the 6 pins from the holes in the door panel and remove it.
Unscrew the two nuts securing the handle, use a 10mm wrench for this.
Disconnect the rods of the outer handle and the switch from the inside of the lock. They are usually held in place by plastic hinges, so you will need a screwdriver to remove them. You need to use it to pry off the hinges.
Remove the door handle along with the rods. Move this part to the table, it will be more convenient to carry out further disassembly on it.
Remove the pin from the rod end.
Remove the plastic tip from the door lock cylinder.
Guide the locking spring beyond the ends of the slots on the lock handle and cylinder. Then delete it.
Take out the old lock cylinder along with the key.
Remove the new part from the packaging (it should have a key installed). Lubricate all rubbing parts with WD-40 or silicone grease. Insert this part into the handle.
Reinstall the new spring and check its operation. When you turn the key in the lock, it should return to its original position.
Install a pin on the tip of the rotary rod. Then reassemble the unit in reverse order.

In a similar way, disassemble the remaining three doors to install new cylinders on them. Replacing a part on the first door will take a lot of time to dismantle. Once you remember the position of the screws and the order of actions, the work will go faster.

Reasons for replacing the lock cylinder on a VAZ

Most often, the lock cylinder in the doors of VAZ-2113, 2114 and 2115 has to be changed in the following cases:

In case of defects or breakages of the locking ring or fixing post. Both of these parts are located in a plastic rod cap and are easily destroyed under the influence of an aggressive external environment - during large temperature changes, in the cold season, etc. The problem is often discovered when a car owner tries to open the car in cold weather. The key starts to turn, but the mechanism does not work. If the cylinder is additionally loaded at this moment (for example, by pressing the door, knocking on it, pushing or pulling), the part will come out of the handle socket.
When worn. During the operation of the car, the internal pins of the device wear out and when you try to turn the key in the cylinder, the parts begin to cling to each other, which ultimately leads to their destruction.
If the car owner decides to upgrade the door handles or install European locks.

Features of door adjustment

The adjustment work involves changing the height of the rods.
The rods are attached using plastic tips that have a ball joint inside. Correct adjustment of the door lock is carried out by pulling out the groove. Next, you will need to twist slightly counterclockwise or clockwise. The lock is adjustable by selecting the ideal length. So please be patient. After the repair, you will have to adjust the sash slamming mechanism. By the time you move on to setting it up, you can already return the trim back to the door, since the work will be carried out with the latch on the body. Move the clamp up or down until you achieve the perfect result. The door should latch easily, without noise or effort. This adjustment can be made without replacing the lock cylinder if you are not satisfied with the need to apply force when closing.

Installation of a new larva

To install a new lock cylinder, you will need to follow a few simple steps:

Unpack the new kit, prepared for replacement, and lubricate the internal moving parts.
Install a new return spring. Usually it is not included in the standard replacement kit and is purchased separately. When installed correctly, the key should rotate freely back when in the hole.

Installing a new return spring

Install the pin in the end of the swivel rod.
Reassemble the door in the reverse order as described in the previous section.
