How to eliminate play in VAZ door hinges and adjust the door

Installing a hinge for a VAZ 2110 car door
Car doors, like the doors of a house, should look beautiful and reliable, easy to open and close. Big troubles are associated with a sagging door; it is not only not aesthetically pleasing, but also inconvenient. It can make a creaking or dull knock, and if it is not closed tightly, water will flow into the cabin. One of the ways to eliminate defects is to replace the hinges on the doors of the VAZ 2110. The article suggests that you familiarize yourself with doing the work yourself.

Why do doors sag?

There are several reasons that affect the reliability of door fixation and sagging:

The hinges and axles are badly worn. The door of the vases began to close poorly, and when opening it required considerable force.

How to fix sagging doors

Advice: Before carrying out work, it is necessary to determine the cause of the sagging.

Why the door sagged, a small test can help:

• With both hands you need to grab the bottom of the door and, with slight loosening, check the gap in the vertical plane. Play in the VAZ 2110 door hinge is not allowed.
• The door is grasped with hands from above and below. Then you need to try to turn it in a horizontal axis; there should be no movement of the door, no gap is allowed.
• A visual inspection is made of the places where the door hinges are fixed to the car body on a VAZ 2110 car, the hinges of the sagging door are compared with the same elements of a working one, the differences in them are determined and a conclusion is made.

After identifying the cause of the sagging, repairs can begin. This could be:

• If the door sag due to excessive wear on the hinge axis, it is necessary to replace the pin in the VAZ 2110 door hinge.
• If the entire mechanism has signs of wear or wear, then the VAZ 2110 door hinge assembly needs to be replaced, then the price will be less than installing several new parts simultaneously with heavily worn elements.

After replacing failed parts, it is imperative to adjust the door position. To do this:

Tip: To make the adjustment procedure easier, it is better to remove the mating part.

• The door is closed and its best vertical position is visually determined.
• If the door line runs parallel to the body, and the door itself is shifted down or up, it is necessary to slightly loosen the fixation of the upper and lower hinges and raise or lower the door. After this, secure the position with a fixing screw.
• If the corner of the door, the end of which is equipped with a lock, is located slightly below the desired level, while the door hinges on the VAZ 2110 are working properly, the fixation of the lower hinge is unscrewed and the door position is leveled. To do this, thin metal plates or washers are placed under the loop itself, as shown in the photo.

• If the edge on which the door lock is located is pulled up strongly, then the fixation of the upper hinge is unscrewed, and the adjusting plates are placed under it.

How can you align the door of a VAZ 2110 car?

You can align the door using a bolt. To do this:

• Take a bolt of the same size as the finger.
• The element is placed with its head up on the lower door hinge from the inside so that the bolt hangs on the edge of the hinge.

There are repair instructions for sagging doors after increasing the gap between the doors and their poor closing. To do this:

• You need to remove the door and disassemble its trim.
• Make a longitudinal cut in the bottom loop using a small grinder.
• The remains of the finger are knocked out with a core.

Tip: When replacing a pin in the hinges of a VAZ 2110 door, you can take a valve from a VAZ classic, which does not have filling inside.

• The valve must be cut to the same length as the loop, leaving a seal at one end.
• A new valve is inserted into the cut loop, with its thick end remaining on top.
• Then the part is welded with an electrode. When welding, you need to ensure that the finger rotates freely.
• The knot is finally cleaned with a grinder and painted.

Re: Resolved: repair of door hinges VAZ 2110

It's best to replace the hinge. The hinge is not expensive; any service center with a competent welder will replace it in half an hour. All that remains is to paint and lubricate it (to make it last longer)

Of course, you can get confused, drill out the rod, choose a new one in size, etc., but it can take a lot of time, it doesn’t always work out and in general it’s very difficult to do this, and not everyone gets good results. So I would suggest replacing. Good luck to you.

Re: Resolved: repair of door hinges VAZ 2110

For some reason, my passenger side sagged with such incredible play.

This problem started with front-wheel drive eights. Structurally, the hinge is too small for these doors (compare the VAZ hinge with the Toyota hinge), but you need to remember that the hinges need to be lubricated to prevent wear, and since no one does this, they fail (high-quality ones from Ino – suffers the same fate). The reason for everything is moisture, the door hinges are not protected from moisture, but when they get on them, rust is formed, which, when opened, forms and wears out the hinge. As soon as the loop wears out a little, dirt already penetrates into the gap - sand and the wear process increases significantly.

Re: Resolved: repair of door hinges VAZ 2110

hello, repairing the hinge cost little money, the old rod came out easily (I was surprised), I drilled it out and hammered in a valve pusher rod from a Ural engine instead. Just the right diameter. Well, I also had to adjust the lock.

Door hinge repair options

Failure or severely deformed hinges are repaired using the following methods:

Complete door replacement. It is complicated by the fact that it is not always possible to find new VAZs for old ones. You have to buy old elements that are partially worn out.

Replacing door hinges, as well as fingers, is the most rational option in this case. It's inexpensive and relatively easy to do. If necessary, additional equipment can always be rented at a service center or automotive supply store. The cost of the hinges themselves for the VAZ 2110 and similar models is only about 300-500 rubles. You can also find old, used ones for sale. You will have to pay less for them. But new VAZ 2110 doors will cost several thousand rubles. And they are sold, as a rule, without glass and cladding. Their installation is an additional waste of money.

What will be needed for repairs

If the outside lock stops opening, go straight to the store. You will need to purchase:

• several new plastic tips suitable for VAZ;
• set of screwdrivers - one flat, Phillips;
• a set of plastic rivets that secure the casing.

All parts are sold at an automotive supply store. It is better to buy spare parts with a reserve, several sets. The parts are inexpensive. They can also come in handy if the door stops opening not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Take the sheathing fasteners just in case, since the sheet may have to be removed.

Replacing the entire hinge

If the door is sagging, then the likely cause is deformation or mechanical wear of the hinges. It is corrected by completely replacing them, along with the fingers. You don't have to buy them. You can make it yourself if you have a metal cutting machine. Such repairs will be cheap - you will only have to pay for the purchase of high-quality metal plates.

It is recommended to cut the loops strictly along the boundaries of their wedging. Fingers are placed last. And again, you need to lubricate them, hammer them, and lock them, as the manufacturer himself recommends. Replacement without taking into account their manufacture (if you do it yourself) will take at most several hours, including removing and reinstalling the doors. All that remains is to make the adjustment. And you should understand that in the next few days the noose may fall. This is shrinkage. The door may creak and may not always slam shut normally. If necessary, readjustment is performed.

General information about the operation of a car lock

VAZ 2110 door lock adjustment

In a car, the design principle of all locks is almost identical. However, the ignition system lock is rightfully considered the most reliable. From a vehicle security perspective, the ignition switch is the last line of defense against theft. Car doors are a functional element that is daily subject to mechanical influence from the outside. Few motorists actually treat the doors of their own cars with care. Main functions of car doors:

• protective, which consists of maintaining security;
• insulating, is to create a visual seal of the car, thereby significantly increasing the level of comfort of movement.

Note. During operation, all metal elements of car doors, which are not practically difficult to notice with the naked eye, must be regularly coated with anti-corrosion substances, since exposed metal areas significantly increase the likelihood of metal rotting due to exposure to external adverse factors.

A Practical Look at a Car Door Lock

VAZ 2110 trunk lock adjustment

Cases when there is a practical need to adjust the car door lock:

• an unsuccessful attempt to steal and, as a result, mechanical damage to the lock;
• ultra-long service life;
• exposure to adverse factors;
• careless handling of a car door, etc.

Door lock repair

In mechanical structures, repairs come down to replacing or restoring a faulty cylinder, cleaning and lubricating the internal lock mechanism, adjusting or replacing rods. It is not recommended to repair the internal locking mechanism itself, since it is assembled with rivets.

Even if the craftsman removes the rivets and is able to restore the operation of the levers, it will be difficult to put the body back together. If its parts fail, it is better to purchase and install a completely new locking block assembly.

If the door lock does not work correctly, when the key does not turn or the door does not close, you need to do the following:

1. Remove the car door trim.
2. Remove the door lock cylinder.
3. Carefully disassemble the cylinder, thoroughly clean, rinse, lubricate, carefully reassemble in the reverse order and install in its place.
4. Remove the internal locking element. Rinse and lubricate. If there is a malfunction, replace it with a new one.
5. Check the serviceability of the closing handle mechanism, the door button, all parts are connected to the internal locking mechanism.
6. Adjust the locking latch.

If an electronic central unit is installed on a VAZ 2110, then the part is repaired at a service station. Almost none of the car owners have the necessary tools and equipment to check the signal quality and repair the ECU.

Why adjust doors?

The door of a modern car should close silently, with a slight push. Understanding that adjustment is required will come if the cause of the breakdown is identified:

1. The hinges are in the wrong position - the parts are checked for mechanical damage.
2. The gaps between the door and the body part have been increased - poor adjustment was previously carried out.
3. The door handle or lock needs to be replaced - the fasteners are poorly secured.
4. Body deformation occurs as a result of an accident, locksmith work, or improper installation of the door card.

If the driver carefully inspects the car, he will be able to replace sagging or sagging doors. When the door closes with a loud knock or this action requires force, the position of the door leaf has changed.

If the structure opens arbitrarily during movement, the problem is sought in the closing mechanism.

How can you align the door of a VAZ 2110 car?

You can level the door using a bolt. For this:

• Take a bolt of the same size as the finger.
• The element is placed with its head up on the lower door hinge from the inside so that the bolt hangs on the edge of the hinge.
• The door is carefully closed, and the bolt is clamped inside the hinge.
• The door is slowly closing and the result is visible.
• If necessary, the operation is repeated.

There are repair instructions for sagging doors after increasing the gap between the doors and their poor closing. For this:

• You need to remove the door and disassemble its trim.
• Make a longitudinal cut in the bottom loop using a small grinder.
• The remains of the finger are knocked out with a core.

Tip: When replacing a pin in the hinges of a VAZ 2110 door, you can take a valve from a VAZ classic, which does not have filling inside.

• The valve must be cut to the same length as the loop, leaving a seal at one end.
• A new valve is inserted into the cut loop, with its thick end remaining on top.
• Then the part is welded with an electrode. When welding, you need to ensure that the finger rotates freely.
• The knot is finally cleaned with a grinder and painted.

The most reliable, but not the easiest way is to replace the door hinges on a VAZ 2110. Any option is selected depending on the degree of wear of the hinges and the sagging of the door.

External alignment

In this way, you can repair all dented parts that can be accessed from the outside, including doors. There are several options for removing defects using this technology. One of them is carried out using glue and special equipment, represented by an applicator and a mini-lifter. Repairs begin by gluing the applicator to the damaged area. After the glue has completely dried, you need to pull out the central point of the dent with a mini-lifter, and at the end of the work you need to remove the remaining glue from the car body.

Following the same principle of straightening dents from the outside of the part, you can pull out the defect with a piston or similar non-specialized devices, such as suction cups. As in the first case, the surface of the dent needs to be sealed with glue and a suction cup attached to it. Repair of the defect is carried out by pulling out after the glue has completely dried.

Another way to remove dents from the outside, also based on pulling them out, is to use a magnet. The repair consists of moving it across the defect area from its center to the edges, pulling it towards itself.

To avoid damaging the paintwork, place a rag under the magnet. It should be borne in mind that only a small dent can be corrected using this method.

The next method of externally straightening dents differs in principle from those discussed; it is based on temperature differences. Such repairs are carried out using a hair dryer and a can of compressed air. Moreover, to repair a dent in this way, you will need a powerful hair dryer capable of creating a temperature of 300-650 °C. Repairs begin by heating the surface of the defect, then immediately blowing it with a can of compressed air. A large temperature difference (more than 350 °C) leads to straightening of the dent. Depending on the size of the defect, this operation may have to be performed at several points.

If after this work there are traces of dents, they can be removed by tapping with a mallet. In this case, the damaged area should be covered with a soft rubberized material to avoid damage to the car’s paintwork.

Installation of a ready-made kit

If you decide to buy a ready-made set - VAZ Euro trim panels Lux 2, you will get a more stylish version of the interior.

In addition, such plastic panels improve sound insulation, which is always important for VAZ.

You can also install them yourself.

Door trim VAZ 2110 Lux

We have already talked about how removal is carried out, and now about some of the subtleties of installing Lux 2 upholstery:

• The kit usually includes only the upholstery panels themselves in the amount of 4 pieces. Everything else for them - caps, meshes for the speakers - needs to be purchased.
• Don’t really believe sellers who claim that the Lux 2 upholstery will exactly fit the doors of the VAZ 2110. Don’t be surprised if some of the clips don’t fit, usually 2 of them in the front door, and 1 in the rear.
• Be sure to secure the bottom of the casing with long self-tapping screws.
• If your front doors are not equipped with power windows, you will have to make holes for the handles.
• With conventional window lift handles, a gap will form in the rear doors, which will need to be masked, for example, using a piece of hose. However, it would be better to immediately install electric windows on all doors - it’s convenient, plus the trim panels will fall into place without problems.

Adjusting the lock

After 3-4 years of operation, drivers note a defect: one of the doors of the VAZ 2110 car begins to close poorly. For example, it is loose when the part sticks out when closed. It also happens the other way around: when you try to slam the door hard, it doesn’t close. In such cases, adjust the latch. To work you will need good lighting and special tools:

• a large screwdriver with a socket head at the end of the handle;
• a key that will be used as a lever;
• crosshead screwdriver.

Work order:

1. Using a screwdriver and a square key placed over it as a lever, partially unscrew all three locking mechanism lock screws. This is necessary to move it relative to the plane on which it is mounted.
2. If a closed car door protrudes outward relative to other body elements, then it is necessary to move the latch towards the passenger compartment.
3. The adjustment is carried out experimentally. There are no clear parameters for how far the latch needs to be advanced.

During work, it is necessary to check the overall geometry of the body. If the misalignment of the doors occurs due to violation of the geometry parameters, then repair of the locking mechanisms will have to be carried out constantly.

• When the door does not close completely, even if a lot of force is applied to it, it is necessary to move the latch closer to the outer edge of the car body.
• If the gaps between the car door and the body are uneven, this can be corrected by moving the lock up or down. The defect is corrected by adjusting the door hinges, placing washers of various thicknesses.

After the lock is adjusted, the bolts are tightened as tightly as possible.

Lada 2110 Chira › Logbook › adjusting door gaps, replacing all door mechanisms

Good day!

I decided to take such a wasteful step, BUT the effect surprised me! They don’t open like that on new machines)) I don’t regret spending it one bit (I regret that I didn’t do it earlier).

As a result, new door lock mechanisms

, new locks (modified) everything is greased

, everything is new, even the door handles

, new electric door locks

At the Shakhty car showroom, Lada costs 250 rubles each

(TIP! when buying new ones, compare them with the old ones, aligning the mounting holes and check the lock stroke, they are all different... closer to the factory ones, the Saturn manufacturer, the Starline rod stroke is too short (that is, it may under-open or under-close) there were no others, did not compare

+ pay attention to the wires that go to the lock so that they are not thin

The doors were bent, washers were placed, a slight sagging of the driver's door was eliminated, all without any special tools, just with “bare” hands)))

Somehow the car started to look fresh with them))

Tigran said how it still opened for you) the spring was standing sideways...

Total spare parts for about 3000 rubles, work too, + electric drives 500 rubles

Typical faults and solutions

Most often, VAZ 2110 owners encounter the following problems with the locking mechanism:

1. It is impossible to close the door or a lot of force must be applied. Reasons: the latch is too moved inside the passenger compartment or the lock drives are incorrectly adjusted. Remedy: Move the lock outward slightly or adjust the drives.
2. The door does not close completely and remains closed only in the first (emergency) position. Reason: The locking mechanism has failed. Remedy: repair or replace the locking mechanism.
3. The door lock does not work. Causes: the locking mechanism has been adjusted incorrectly. Remedy: adjust the locking mechanism.

If the car has been converted to an electric lock, then it is necessary to diagnose the operation of the electrical signal from the key fob to the catchers, check the connection diagram and only then disassemble the door panel. The rear door lock is checked in the same way after diagnosing the central system.

Adjusting door handles

A No. 20 screwdriver will help you adjust the Euro handle, but first you need to disassemble the facing panel. Step-by-step algorithm:

1. Removing the plugs. Unscrewing the bolts.
2. Removing the cover. Handle recess.
3. Disconnecting the retainer wires.

Checking/inspecting the mechanism will tell you exactly what the problem is. Most often, the cause of the violation is contamination or excessive tightening of the internal bolt. If it breaks, you have to change the retainer, washer or retaining ring. When the elements are cleaned and lubricated, assembly is carried out. Screw tightening is no more than four turns.

If the hardware is damaged or there are cracks on the body, a new part must be installed.

Removal

When you have purchased the required number of seals, you can begin to work.

The first step is to remove the old rubber elements, after which the installation of new parts begins.

Let's tell you more about the dismantling procedure.

Percussion

You can straighten and completely remove a medium-sized dent by tapping it on the back side with a rubberized mallet. However, to do this you need to have access to the damage site. In the case of a door, this will require removing the door panel. Typically, repairs using this technology are carried out with mallets of various sizes, and to seal areas that are not accessible from the inside, hooks are used. However, in this case, traces will remain of them, which distinguishes this method for the worse from others discussed in this article. Read on to find out what else you can use to straighten a dent.

Reasons for replacing the lock cylinder

Blocking of the internal or external mechanism occurs due to improper operation, burglary or severe frost. Prerequisites for the device to break soon: creaking, difficulty turning the key, the rod has difficulty entering/exiting the core. At such moments, the larva can be saved if you go through it: apply lubricant to individual elements and remove contaminants.

For VAZ 2110, replacing the driver's door lock cylinder will be required when:

• climatic changes;
• failure of the locking ring;
• pin falling out;
• violation of the integrity of the thrust cap;
• wear of columns or teeth.

Causes of problems opening the door

The first step is to understand the causes of the breakdown. Usually the prerequisites appear long before the “hour X”. The driver just doesn't notice them. At first, the malfunction is manifested by a single idling of the handle.

Why is it difficult to open the door handle on a VAZ 2110 from the inside:

• the plastic rod end is worn out;
• the lock got wet after washing;
• a foreign object got inside;
• the door is frozen;
• The battery died when the child lock was on.

The first reason is most common. The VAZ rod end is made of plastic. Over time, the material dries out and becomes brittle. The tip breaks during daily use. The driver's door lock may become jammed.

To prevent problems in winter, after washing your car, do not immediately drive outside from the garage. Wait until the doors dry. Additionally, wipe the locks with a dry cloth and treat them with an antifreeze agent. If it is not possible to stay longer in the box, drive the car into a warm garage or indoor parking. The latter are available in all major shopping centers.

Repair or replacement of larva

Not every motorist is in a hurry to replace the cylinder; first, disassembly is carried out and the internal parts are checked. If the front pins are not broken off, lubrication will extend the life of the lock. Disassembly and repair step by step:

1. The casing and internal handle are dismantled: the clips are removed, the screws are unscrewed.
2. The rod is detached from the closing mechanism.
3. A similar method is used to dismantle the external handle.
4. The bracket is removed from the cylinder with pliers, and the plastic retainer is unfastened. To do this, it is pryed off with a screwdriver. To remove the clamp, you need to unscrew a special screw.
5. The lock washer and the internal drive rod are removed. Then the core is removed.

Next comes repair or replacement, and then collection. If reassembly and lubrication of individual parts does not produce results, then the cylinder will have to be changed. A new larva is inserted into the core. Then the door part and the lock are reassembled.

Refinement of the base and mechanisms

One of the main disadvantages of a door lock is that it makes a lot of noise when closing. And the culprits of this shortcoming are the outer part and the locking bar, which engages with it when closing. The reason for the loud sound lies in the fact that all the parts that come into contact with each other are metal.

The best way out is to purchase a silent lock, in which the parts in contact with each other are made of plastic. You can modify the mechanism yourself, as a result the door will close even quieter and softer.

1. Dismantle the outer part of the old lock without removing the casing.
2. Remove the small retainer latch spring. Insert the large spring into place.
3. Cut or remove the shaped rubber seal. The part often comes out of its seat because the block is skewed against its base, which prevents the door from closing normally.
4. Slightly grind and adjust the nose of the locking ratchet, which, when closed, engages with the latch on the stand.
5. Glue a rubber gasket or any vibration-absorbing material to the base of the door where the lock will be attached.
6. Lubricate and install the new modified mechanism in the place where the old one stood.
