Door locks form a whole system, which is understood as the whole complex of a mechanism that allows you to close and open doors from the outside and inside, fix the doors from the inside and lock the front doors from the outside with a key. Patented cylinder locks (so-called larvae) both front doors are combined with a common ignition key, trunk lid lock and fuel cap lock - if equipped. It must be emphasized here that proprietary locks are NEVER lubricated with oil. Their long-term flawless operation is guaranteed if dirt is removed from it by rinsing in technical gasoline, and after drying, apply flake graphite to the cams of the lock mechanism with a key. The internal lock is different for the front and rear doors, as well as for the left and right sides. The lock is installed in the door cavity with two screws accessible from the outside of the door. There is a profiled hole in the door leaf, through which, when the door is closed, the lock latch installed on the door pillar will pass and slam into the lock. Lock contact surfaces (ratchet) with a latch to increase slip and reduce noise when locking the doors have a plastic coating that increases resistance to abrasion.
The latch of the lock can be moved when mounted on the rack of the body door frame and this allows you to adjust the door to the body. The lock can be operated with an external or internal handle. The external handle is folding with a plastic handrail moderately raised on the surface of the door, in the sheet of which there is a recess for the hand. The handle mechanism is connected to the lock directly, namely by a steel cable with a plastic tip. The outer handles of the front door locks have patented lock inserts. These locks, when turned with a key, lock the handle. The lock is connected to the inner handle by a steel cable through a flexible sheath.
The rear door locks have a so-called child safety lock, which, when activated, prevents the doors from being opened from the inside.
The locks of all doors have two slamming positions and they can be secured with a push-button fuse from the cab of the car. The fuse is connected to the lock with a wire rod. Rear door and passenger front door fuses (but not the driver) can also be activated before closing the doors. The arrangement of the locks complies with the UNECE safety instructions. The locks do not allow the doors to spontaneously open in case of an accident, as they are fixed in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
