What are Euro pens?

It is impossible to say for sure why they are called Euro pens. Apparently, this somehow relates to European cars, Western auto production. Let's be honest, the factory door handles on the “fourteenth” are far from being an example of automotive design art.

Euro handles are a set of door handles that significantly transform the appearance of the car and allow you to open and close doors more comfortably. They have a comfortable design and are pleasant to hold with your hands. Plus, the quality of individual handle models significantly exceeds even VAZ factory elements for opening front and rear doors.

Remove the decorative trim of the interior door handle by prying it off with a screwdriver or knife. Now nothing prevents us from removing the door trim and pulling it out from the bedbugs.

The second nut is located on the outside:

Many people tune their cars, some increase their speed characteristics, while others prefer to improve the appearance and increase the comfort of using their personal cars. This type of tuning includes Euro handles for the VAZ 2114.

Varieties

The Lynx Euro pens have a factory designation, which determines the differences between the sets.

1. IN 1. This designation indicates that the package contains four handles - two rear and two front. In this case, the front larvae do not have.
2. AT 2. There are also four handles, a pair for the rear and front doors. Only here the larvae are present.

Which one should I choose? The question is purely individual. On the one hand, B1 have a solid, smooth structure that is not spoiled by key holes. For external tuning they are simply perfect.

The second option is preferable for those who value quality, visual appeal, but at the same time reliability. After all, the presence of a cylinder will give you the opportunity to open the car with a key if problems arise with the alarm or key fob.

Replacing the inner handle

If the internal door handle of a VAZ 2114 is broken, then cosmetic repairs are impossible. To repair, you will need a standard set of tools: several types of screwdrivers, a sharp knife and a 8mm wrench. It is better to change the part while in the salon. Algorithm for replacing a part:

1. The lining is removed. It is pryed off with the thin end of a screwdriver. It is important to remove all fragments of decor.
2. The door card is being dismantled.
3. The rod is disconnected.
4. To remove the remains of the broken opening device, the fasteners are unscrewed.
5. A new element is installed. It should be attached to the rod, and then the facing elements should be reassembled.

The trim on the VAZ is fixed with special clips. To remove them, you can pry up the edge with a screwdriver. Proceed with caution as they are plastic and may break. This is affected by rough handling, material wear or cold.

Quality checking

Whether it be Lynx or European pens from another manufacturer, you definitely need to make sure of the quality of the products offered to you. There are some useful tips for this.

1. Buy directly from good stores rather than ordering online. Today it is important to order many spare parts online. But the problem is that you won't be able to see or touch them until delivery. If we are talking about online ordering, check the reliability of this online store, read reviews about it, study the nuances of delivery and payment. The best option is to pay the courier on the spot. This way you can first look at the handles, and only then, if everything is good, pay for the order. Well, when you are in a regular store, there will be nothing difficult in studying spare parts in detail.
2. Package. Surprisingly, it is important to pay attention to the packaging. Factory products must have barcodes, certificate marks, full instructions, a warranty, and so on.
3. Content. If each pen is packaged in a separate bag, this indicates a responsible approach by the manufacturer. After all, the transportation process takes a lot of time, and you yourself know the quality of our roads. Constant shaking leads to friction between parts, which leads to scratches and damage. Separate packaging will prevent this from happening.
4. Instructions. Good manufacturers provide detailed instructions for installing them along with Euro handles. There is nothing complicated about this, but the very fact of the presence of this instruction already speaks volumes.
5. Quality. Alas, it cannot always be determined visually. Nowadays low-grade materials are so skillfully disguised that only laboratory tests can help you in some cases. As for European pens specifically, the best guarantee of quality is purchasing products from a trusted manufacturer. Such as Lynx, for example.
