How to open the trunk without a key on a VAZ 2107

Several simple ways to open a VAZ without a key

No one is immune from unpleasant situations, we are all human, sometimes we forget about some things. For example, we forget to take the keys to a VAZ car. At least once, a situation happens to car enthusiasts when they either left their keys at home and have no access home, or lost them and don’t want to call a tow truck. Of course, there is such an opportunity as calling a specialist who will help open the car.

If you need help opening a VAZ car in Rostov-on-Don, then our service experts are ready to help you with this at any time of the day.

Don't want to contact the service? Then reserve your nerves and try to open the car yourself. The process is not very complicated, but it requires some skill and some simple tools.

Next, we will look at several ways to open a VAZ without a key.

Use this knowledge only to open your own car, or a friend's car.

Before starting the autopsy

Before you take decisive action, remember if you left spare keys with someone you know just for such a case. If not, then take note of this method, perhaps someday you will leave your keys at home/lose your keys again.

How to open the trunk of a VAZ-2107 without a key

Situations when the trunk lid closes and the keys to the lock are lost or left inside are not at all rare. If you are reading this article, then you have a problem and you don’t know how to open the trunk of a VAZ 2107 without a key. Coping with such a task is not difficult, as it may seem initially, especially since more than one owner has encountered such a situation. Let's also consider situations when the luggage compartment lock on the seven gets jammed, as a result of which it is also necessary to resort to appropriate tricks.

Simple ways to open a VAZ

Now let's get down to the methods. Conventionally, they can be divided into two groups: radical - when actions are decisive and not always justified, and delicate - calmer, conservative methods:

Open the door with wire

As you understand, it is better to use delicate methods, since more decisive and drastic ones will lead to the fact that you will have to pay for repairs. For example, if you break the lock to your vehicle, you will have to order it along with new keys and wait a long time until the order is fulfilled. Thus, you will not be able to use the car. Well, having broken the glass, you will have to install a new one.

Trunk lock malfunctions

The VAZ 2107, like all passenger vehicles, has a rear compartment that is closed with a metal lid. To close the lid, a trunk lock is used, which prevents not only its opening, but also unauthorized entry by third parties.

The design of the trunk lock is quite simple, so it can break in extremely rare cases. Much more often there is a need to adjust the lock, replace it, or open it because the key to open it is lost. The most common damage to a lock is the cylinder, which wears out over prolonged use and therefore requires replacement.

If the lock cylinder fails and the trunk opens, the problem is solved by replacing the cylinder. In order to replace it, you will need to remove the mechanism from the cover. A new one is installed in place of the old and worn cylinder, which allows the lid to continue to operate normally.

The mechanism is adjusted when the lid begins to loosen and closes poorly. You can check the need to adjust the lock mechanism by pressing on its surface with your hand. If there is play, the lock must be adjusted. Adjustment is simple - to do this, you need to loosen the fixing screws, move the mechanism in the appropriate direction, and then fix the screws in that position.

Trunk lock repair

If preliminary research has shown that the VAZ 2107 trunk lock needs repair, then there is nothing else to do but do the work yourself. First you need to prepare the necessary tools, which include:

10mm wrench.
Marker.
Litol-24 lubricant.

Accordingly, a new larva will be needed, since the outdated one cannot be repaired. If the lock mechanism is damaged, then it will need to be replaced, so you should carefully inspect the device. The repair process consists of the following steps:

To begin, use a marker to mark the outline of the lock's location, which will eliminate the need for adjustments after repairs.
Unscrew the two nuts using a 10mm wrench.
Disconnect the mechanism from the lid and push the cylinder inside the trunk so that it falls out.

After this, carry out the appropriate manipulations to repair or replace the larva. If a new larva is installed, it should first be lubricated with lithol. It is recommended to lubricate the inside of the larva with silicone liquid. The procedure for installing the part is performed in the reverse order of removal. In this case, it is important to install the sealing rubber in place.

How to open the trunk of a VAZ 2107 without a key

How the trunk lock on the VAZ 2107 works and what it is is already known. It remains to figure out the question of how to open the trunk of a VAZ 2107 without a key, since you often have to deal with the need to dismantle the device.

If the rear compartment lid slams shut, you will need to use a spare set of keys to access the compartment. If you cannot find the keys, then there is an option to contact specialists who will help you open the device within 5 minutes. However, for these five minutes you will need to pay a lot of money, and besides this, you still need to find a good specialist.

If the key is left in the luggage compartment, you can get to it from the passenger compartment. To do this you need to do the following:

From the interior, disassemble the back of the rear seat, for which you just need to dismantle the back.
Remove the fiberboard stand to create a gap through which you can get to the keys in the compartment.
To do this, you need to use a hook made of steel wire of the appropriate length to reach the key, hook it and remove it.

This is the easiest and most painless way to open the lid without deforming the car.

If the key is lost, then there is no point in getting into the luggage compartment. To do this, it is recommended to take a powerful flat screwdriver (one with a blade instead of a key in the cylinder), insert it into the cylinder (maybe hammer it in there a little) and forcefully turn it towards opening the lock. But this option should be used as a last resort, since the larva will then be unsuitable for use.

There are also such ways to open the trunk lid:

Tap your fist on the location of the license plate. This barbaric method helps in 30% of cases. It all depends on the force of the impact, so if you are tired of trying to open the trunk lid, then use this method.
Use an awl or knife to pierce the rubber seal. Try to reach the lock tongue through the rubber seal, and by sliding it to the side, open the trunk lid.
Try using any other key (from another car, house, garage) that is suitable in size. There are times when this works.

Which option is better depends on the situation. In any case, coping with such a problem will not be difficult. To make sure you don’t have to try to open the trunk on the seven, you should regularly monitor the quality of the mechanism, apply lubricant and change the cylinder.

How to open the trunk with different types of locks?

Mechanical locks

Mechanics on hatchbacks and station wagons are the simplest case - if access to the interior is preserved: we are dealing with a breakdown, and not with a single set of keys forgotten inside. You need to recline the seats and remove the rear parcel shelf, if there is one, to gain access to the interior of the trunk. Structurally, two options are possible:

when the rear of the trunk door is completely closed by the trim;
or there is a separate hatch above the lock.

The second option is preferable - by opening only the hatch, we find the broken rod or, conversely, remove it if the cylinder does not turn. To open the trunk, we pull or push the rod, depending on the kinematics of the lock.

If the trim completely covers the door, then it is impossible to remove it when the trunk is closed. In this case, you will have to get to the lock mechanics by unscrewing the accessible fasteners or pulling out the open pistons, and then carefully bending the casing on top towards you. But this is not always required - look carefully at the lock, is there a forced release tab on it? It hides in a small groove; we pry it open with a key or a thin screwdriver. Sometimes it's even signed.

On sedans, access is difficult or impossible - the presence of a separate volume often pushes designers to place stiffening crossbars behind non-reclining seat backs, or there may be a gas tank there, as on the Mercedes-Benz W124. If the backrests recline or, at worst, there is a wide enough hatch for long cargo, then it will be possible to get into the trunk, otherwise this method will work when we unscrew the backrest from the passenger compartment and remove the cross member. A classic example of such a car is the Renault Logan already mentioned in the introduction: first we pull out the bottom cushion, then we unscrew the two bolts that secure the backrest from below. It is pushed up, after which, after unscrewing the four bolts securing the cross member, we climb into the trunk.

Pneumatic locks

The lock actuator does not necessarily have a mechanical drive - the trunk also opens pneumatically, which is known to owners of old German cars. If all pneumatics are controlled by a common compressor accessible from the cabin, we get to it (usually by removing the bottom cushion of the rear sofa) and blow into the desired tube. The reason the trunk lock fails in such cars is cracks in the tube, due to which there is not enough pressure to open the trunk. By using a tire compressor or pump, we are more likely to open the door if the tube has not completely burst.

Power locks

What to do if there is no cylinder or pull system on the door, but only a button? Moreover, it is the corrosion of the contacts of these buttons that prevents the trunk from opening. In such cars, the control of the electric trunk is controlled by the on-board switching module - BCM. To force open the trunk lock, we close the terminal to which the faulty button is connected to ground. On a Nissan Qashqai, the lock control circuit looks like this:

By closing pin 12 on the BCM, we will force the trunk to open. Naturally, there are also mechanical methods of opening: in this case, as with a mechanical lock, we will have to climb into the trunk. There are two options:

with monoblock lock;
or with an actuator connected to the lock through a rod.

In the first case, you will have to remove the cover from the lock to get to the mechanical part and manually release the locking tongue; in the second case, we disconnect the rod and use it to open the trunk.

What to do

Like any other passenger car, the VAZ model 2107 is equipped with a storage compartment located in the rear of the body. The lid, locked with a separate lock, protects its contents from bad weather, prying eyes and the criminal element. Accordingly, it is difficult to open it without a key.

The locking mechanism of the VAZ-2107 is structurally simple. Of course, any professional burglar can easily get into the trunk if he needs anything there. The owner of a VAZ-2107, who has lost the key, will fumble for a long time, not understanding where to start.

There is no need to panic. Better remember if you have a spare set at home. If there is, then it’s better to go get it. It’s easier to open anything with your own key than with improvised means.

It’s another matter when the trunk slams shut and the bundle remains inside. So you won't be able to leave. In large cities, the situation will be corrected by contacting a company specializing in hacking. Professionals will open the rear compartment of a VAZ-2107 in a couple of minutes, but they will have to pay.

If the cabin is open, then calm down - you can save money by climbing into the luggage compartment from there.

First of all, pull out the rear sofa 2107. Dismantling is not difficult - the seat is attached to two clamps, and the backrest is held in place at the top by plates inserted into the shelf, and from the bottom by wire loops.

Second option

If the key is lost or broken, when a part remains in the well, the option described above, of course, is not suitable. How to get to the depths of the trunk of the 2107 model in such a situation?

We'll have to act more radically. You will need a strong screwdriver (regular flathead) with a wide tip. Press (or hammer) the end directly into the cylinder. After this, forcefully turn the latter in the desired direction. Remember, after such a barbaric opening, the core will probably have to be changed.

Other options

If you don’t want to break anything, then do this:

put on a glove;
Punch your fist into the center of the license plate with all your might;
a sharp blow can knock the tongue out of the groove.

The chance of success is one in three.

The next option is a little harmful - you need to carefully pierce the rubber sealing tape that seals the trunk lid in the lock area, a little to the right. Use a thick knitting needle or a sharp knife. Insert a piece of wire with a hook at the end into the resulting hole. Use it to feel the valve and pull it to the side, pressing the lid with your free hand.

If the trunk lock of the 2107 Lada is very old and holds weakly, then try pressing the tongue with a metal strip, a credit card or a ruler. Be careful - these improvised master keys often get stuck in the groove of the lid.

Some experienced motorists give the following advice:

lift the cover on the right side;
push it to the left as hard as you can;
pull up sharply.

When the key is simply lost, then try using any other one at hand. If it’s tight, don’t push it in completely, so as not to lose it too. Dip literally half a centimeter into the larva and try to turn it. You don't have to use any force, but be sure to press down on the top of the lid.

Sometimes a piece of the key remains sticking out of the VAZ-2107 well. Grab it with pliers and twist it in the unlocking direction - this will certainly help.

Try all the methods described - one of them will most likely work.

Button does not work

If the electric drive stops working, then, first of all, it is recommended to disassemble the button itself and try to short-circuit the wires connected to it directly.
When the trunk does not open, it means that the activator relay has failed. Usually specialists place it next to the button. Replace it with a good one.

Sometimes this doesn’t help, then you have to look for a break in the wires. Use a tester for this.

It would also be a good idea to inspect the fuses. If the lock has been lubricated for a long time, then the work of the traction overloads the electrical system of the car, and the fuse-link of the protective device may not withstand it.

When none of the above tips work, you will have to climb into the trunk through the interior by removing the rear seat, as described above.

How to take a discharged device with you?

The described options mean that after closing the doors, the battery needs to be picked up. How to do it? Remove the device, lock the car with the key, and don’t forget about the rear doors. Does not work? We proceed like this:

park the car in the required place, preferably where it is more convenient to carry out manipulations;
turn off the engine;
turn off the ignition;
leave the key in the ignition;
press the button responsible for opening the doors;
pull the handles of the driver's door, open the hood;
remove the battery terminals;
close the hood;
Use the key to close the driver's door.

Everything is simple, it requires minimal skills, basic keys, tools, compliance with safety rules (working with electricity, lifting the body with a jack). I don’t want to mess around, I don’t have time, I doubt my skills - a call to the service station will help. There are special emergency teams that come out and help close the back and front doors.

For the Opel Astra car model there is a special algorithm for solving this problem:

The lock activator does not work. All doors, except the driver's, are fixed with a special hole located on them. You need to insert the key into it, make it click, and close it. Use a key for the driver's door.
Open the driver's window, exit the passenger compartment, and close the door. Use the button on the console to lock the trunk and doors through the window. press the button that closes the window, remove your hand.
Leave the cabin, close the doors, leave the passenger front open. On its side, press the interior button that locks the doors. Close the passenger door. All doors and trunk are closed.

Castle repair

The 2107 locking mechanism itself is extremely simple, so it rarely fails. Mostly problems arise with the larva. It has to be replaced when the key is lost or broken, and besides, it itself can fail over time.

To install a new lock on the trunk of a VAZ-2107, prepare the following tools:

10 mm socket wrench;
installation (needed for subsequent adjustment).

Also stock up on silicone grease and the lock itself or a serviceable element to replace the one that has failed.

First of all, open the lid. Next you need to do the following:

draw a line around the lock mechanism (this way you won’t have to adjust the new one);
unscrew the two nuts securing the mechanism;
pull out the lock;
close the trunk;
push the larva inside.

Then a new device is installed, adjusted by installation and tested for functionality.

Through the salon

If there is access to the interior, open the trunk through it by removing the rear seat. For Russian classics you will need a certain set of tools: a 10mm head and an extension for it. To open the lock, two nuts securing the lock itself are unscrewed. Before starting work, it is better to put a flashlight in the trunk - this will make the work much more convenient. If the nuts can be unscrewed, the trunk

It is possible to open it by simply pressing the lock cylinder from the outside -
the entire lock
will fall inward. Later, all that remains is to assemble the entire structure again.

How can you open the trunk of a VAZ-2107 without a key?

It often happens that car owners of VAZ-2107 and other car models, due to their carelessness or the negligence of their loved ones, leave the keys in the trunk. What to do in such a situation and how can you open the trunk of a VAZ-2107 without a key? This is the question every driver asks himself if such a nuisance happens to him. First of all, you should not panic ahead of time, because there are many methods that many car owners have already tested on themselves, and without any problems they were able to open the trunk even without keys.

Next, we will look at several ways to open a VAZ without a key.

Before starting the autopsy

Ways to open the trunk without a key

Of course, the easiest way is to use an additional set of keys, but if a duplicate does not exist, contact special companies that provide such services. But the cost of such services cannot satisfy everyone, so we will consider the simplest methods that experienced drivers have already tried on themselves and achieved the desired result.

The most primitive method is to use a sledgehammer and a crowbar, but we will not analyze it, but will consider options that will help open the trunk of a VAZ-2107 from inside the car.

So, if the driver is sure that the keys are left in the trunk and you can freely get inside the cabin, then you can try to get to the keys in several ways:

Dismantling the back of the rear seat. This method is very effective, and it is carried out in the following sequence:

the backrest from the rear seat just needs to be removed;
the plywood stand is also removable to gain access to the small space between the stiffeners and the rear seat back;
into the gap, which is quite a decent size, you need to carefully insert your hand with a hook made of hard wire;
a bunch of keys is hooked and pulled out.

If you cannot find the keys in normal lighting, you should try to insert a small flashlight into the gap to simplify the search process.

Hit the mount that secures the license plate with your hand. This method, according to many, often gives the desired result, although it causes, albeit minor, pain to the driver. If the car owner decides to use this method, he will have to make a sharp blow with his fist in the area where the rear license plate of the car is recorded. Due to a sharp impact, the metal can be deformed, which will allow the inside of the lock to “play”, and the trunk lock will simply open.

Craftsmen assure that you can open the trunk of a VAZ-2107 using various available means, for example:

strong, but not very thick wire;
a nail file for polishing nails, of course, if it is made of metal;
with an ordinary awl. Using an awl, pierce the seal that is provided around the entire perimeter of the trunk. Next, you need to find by touch the location of the “tongue” of the lock and try to move it away. If this process is successful, the trunk lock will simply open.

Use a screwdriver to open the trunk. This method is used only if other methods do not give the desired result, since the lock is most often opened with a screwdriver, but it has to be changed due to a broken cylinder. But, despite this, many car owners use a screwdriver to open the trunk without keys, convincing themselves that replacing the lock with a new one is a fairly simple and hassle-free task.

Sometimes brute force will help

Another method will definitely help on Russian cars, but not on the newest foreign cars. There is some free space above the license plate. Often, a sharp and fairly strong blow to this area allows you to open the trunk without a key. This is explained by the fact that the metal will play together with the lock; for a moment, the lock tongue will move away from the strike plate. It is better to strike with your fist - it is not advisable to use any tool, since you can destroy the car’s coating or leave a noticeable dent on the car.
