Noiseless lock on VAZ-2107 and other brands: installation and maintenance

Everyone knows perfectly well how door locks work in the cars of Togliatti Automobile Plant, especially in classical models. The sound of clapping doors of "classics" can not be confused with anything. Very often, to close the door "Zhiguli", you need to put a lot of effort. Long and painstaking adjustments of locks do not lead to the desired result. Even if it is possible to bring the work of the mechanisms into proper operation mode, then normally after a short time the settings are lost. What solution exists in this situation? How can I eliminate this "illness" of the car? There is an exit - this is the installation of silent locks on the VAZ.

What is a noiseless lock?

These mechanisms - the development of manufacturers of parts for tuning the car, allowing once and for all to forget about the poor closing of doors on VAZ models.

You can install silent locks on the classics, as well as other later cars for the Tolyatti plant. There are models for different cars. They are installed both on foreign cars, and on domestic cars.

Very popular are silent castles on "Prioru". The special design of the mechanisms allows to bring to nothing the resistance when closing the door. Enough little effort - and it almost silently translates into a closed state. The mechanism is a latch that works from the slightest effort. The lock reliably closes, thus there is no effect of the half-closed door so well familiar to owners of this brand of the car. Install a silent lock on the VAZ-2107 is not difficult, and the result can significantly improve the quality of its operation. Door mechanisms on "Zhiguli" start to work better, than on some foreign cars.

Durability of silent locks

The operational experience of these mechanisms shows that the period of their use without any special service is at least seven years.

With careful operation of the machine, the locks can last until the end of the ride on this car. Features of their design allow you to count on a long period of use. The details of the castle do not break with time, and their wear and tear is quite insignificant. In standard locks there is a constant mechanical contact between the metal parts of the system. In noiseless mechanisms, the effect is made between the high-strength plastic components that are coated, which significantly reduces wear. Another important factor is the strength of physical contact between parts of the constipation. Noiseless locks-2107 have much less impact between nodes than in standard mechanisms. Having installed such locks on the car, you can forget about the constant problems associated with closing the doors.

Maintenance of silent locks

Noiseless locking mechanisms do not require any special service. Before installation, they must be lubricated for better performance. It is desirable to conduct the treatment with special compounds for locks, which are now a great variety. Subsequently, it is desirable to periodically lubricate the mechanism.

Probably, in due course it will be necessary to spend small adjustment of work of locks. Adjusting the closing of the door is not a difficult process. The progress of its implementation is described later in the article. The work of locks is so clear that it does not take time and effort to maintain and repair them during operation. Installation silent shut-off mechanisms on the car allows to receive remarkable result and not to reflect on carrying out of any works connected with service during all term of their use.

How difficult is it to install a noiseless lock?

As a rule, such an operation leads to a significant alteration of both the lock itself and the elements that drive it. This way of solving the problem is too time consuming and does not always lead to the desired result. The installation of silent locks on the VAZ makes it possible to improve the work of locking the doors in a simpler way.

For all models of "Zhiguli" VAZ-2101-2107, as well as "Niva", the design of a silent closing mechanism is the same. To mount it on a car, you do not need to resort to such operations as drilling, welding, cutting holes or other actions leading to a structural change in the parts of the machine. Uncomplicated manipulations, which can be done by most motorists, will enable silent locks to be installed. 2106-2101 - these are the models that, in addition to the described "seven", most in need of such a modification.

What is needed to install locks on the machine

3. The next step is to remove the decorative rim from the inner handle of the lock opening.
4. After that, you can remove the door map. It keeps on plastic clips, very often they break during this operation. When installing the panel back, you must change the damaged latches to new ones.

Having carried out the above points, the preparatory stage can be considered complete. Next, you need to remove the old locks.

Removing old locks

To remove the old lock, you need to unscrew the five bolts that are in the end of the door. They hold the lock and the window rail. After that, we remove them, releasing the locking mechanism from the latches of the lock drive rods. Plastic fastening of rods and pushers can be flipped off using a flat screwdriver. Exposure to them should be carried out with extreme caution, so as not to damage them. The last step before installation is removal of the outer opening handle. It is removed by unscrewing the two nuts that hold it from the inside of the door. To unscrew them it is more convenient with the help of a socket wrench. After this, the handle can be freely removed from the outside. Now everything is ready to install new locks.

Installation of new mechanisms

To establish a silent lock on VAZ-2107 it is possible in the reverse order from the disassembly process with some changes. The new mechanism is connected to the drive system in the same way, except for one part. Adding a pull rod pusher to the rod of the outer door opener is added. Before installing it, the rod itself is disconnected, this part is fastened to it, then everything is mounted into place. The handle is placed in its original position and fastened by means of two nuts. Clicking on the new lock all the traction of its drive, the mechanism is installed in its place. Then fix it with bolts. The window rails are also screwed.

2. The decorative ring of the inner door release lever of the lock is fixed in place.
3. The handle of the window regulator is put into place and fixed with the help of a retaining ring.
4. The final stage is the installation of an armrest on its position with the help of three bolts.

The silent lock on the VAZ-2107 is installed. Now it remains to configure it correctly.

Adjustment of the mechanism

Having established silent locks-2107 on the car, for full use of all advantages of mechanisms it is necessary to adjust them correctly. Adjustment is carried out by means of displacement of a fixing bolt of a latch. To begin with, you should let him go a little and close the door. He must take his place. Then gently open the door, trying not to move the bolt. Next, you need to check the quality of the door latch. If it does not completely satisfy, then you need to continue the configuration. By releasing the bolt and displacing it, it is necessary to achieve a clear mechanism. The door must be closed from the minimum physical impact on it. Repeating the adjustment operation on all the doors, you can enjoy the faultless operation of the car locks.

User opinion
