Adjusting the front door lock (VAZ-2108)

Before adjustment, outline the contours of the retainer 21 (see figure 161) of the lock on the body pillar. If the door closes too tightly, loosen the screws securing the latch, move it outward and tighten the screws.

If the door closes weakly, the latch is moved inward. In this case, the door should not sink or protrude relative to the body. If the door rises when closing (sag in open position), the retainer is lowered.
