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.

The video shows the “TuneAuto” handles, they are slightly different from the “Lynx”, they have three attachment points, and only one handle, the driver’s handle, has a hole for the lock cylinder. The hole for the lock cylinder is always oval. If you insert a cylinder with a key into this hole and twist the key, it will rotate very tightly, since the hole in the handle itself is oval)), but if installed correctly they last quite a long time, they should be installed on 1-3 year old cars, since these handles have weaker design; when installing “TuneAuto” euro handles, it is often necessary to replace some tired external locks (chocolate bars) with new ones to make it easier to open the door; in principle, such replacements of “chocolate bars” often occur when installing “Lynx” euro handles, because with any installation of euro handles the quality of the installation also depends on the locks and mechanisms on this car; if the locks or internal mechanisms are worn out, this often happens with the driver’s door, because it “suffers” the most - it is used, you will have to replace one or another mechanism so that this door no longer bothers you.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to check the quality of Euro handles on a VAZ 2114

Before purchasing any euro handles, you need to make sure of the quality of their performance; after all, they must provide uninterrupted access to the car under any conditions. It will be a shame not to get into the car in the cold because of low-quality handles, for which you also paid extra.

In order to be confident in the quality of the purchased components for your car, you need to:

Buy spare parts in good, trusted stores and do not pay for the product before you have looked at it. For example, in your city you may not have exactly the Euro pens you wanted or your color. You will have to order them online, then it is better to look at the reviews of those who have already bought there or ask for delivery by courier to check everything before making payment.
Look at the packaging; the manufacturer will not pack a quality product in poor packaging. In addition, it must have markings, certificate marks, and so on. The kit must include detailed, complete instructions and a warranty card.
Appearance is also very important; various defects indicate the irresponsible approach of the manufacturer, if he allows this in the appearance of his product, what can be said about the reliability that he has built into the handle mechanism.

After you have chosen and purchased a kit in which you are completely confident, you can go to a car service center. Installing Euro handles on a VAZ 2114 is a fairly inexpensive procedure and many service stations often carry it out, so they will not have any problems with it.

But you can do everything yourself.

Installation of Euro handles on a VAZ 2109

Euro handles are used to improve the appearance of your car and its comfort.
Among the range of auto parts you can almost always find handles in the color of your car. If the desired color is not on sale, you can buy unpainted ones and paint them yourself or send them to a company specializing in car painting. The set should contain 4 handles, each for its own door. In addition to the handles, there are also plastic rods; be extremely careful with them to avoid breaking them. To make the handles last longer and make you happy, lubricate all internal mechanisms of the handles and rubbing parts before installation.

Since a description of the removal of plastic door trims and door handles is in any instruction manual, let’s move on directly to installing the Euro handle on the VAZ 2109.

Euro handle installation process

In order for the keys to the locks to remain the same, it is necessary to use the cylinder from the old handle (the method of removal and installation is also described in the repair and operation books). Before installing the cylinder in a new handle, you need to wipe it from dust and dirt with a clean rag, then apply lubricant to it (lithol is suitable). Installing the Euro handle on a VAZ 2109 proceeds in the reverse order. The handle is secured with two nuts. Under the nuts you need to place a wide washer and an engraver from an old handle. To prevent the handle from rubbing off the paint on your door, install a spacer underneath it. Tighten the handle fastening nuts, while monitoring the tightening force. If over-tightened, the mounting bolts may crush the plastic mount. We install the lock opening and unlocking rods. You can try a new pen. We close, open the door, if the lock works, you can use it. For vehicles equipped with central locking, the length of the door locking rod may need to be adjusted. Before performing this procedure, try to lock the door in all possible ways: with a key from the outside, a latch from the inside, or a key fob. If the door can be locked using all these methods, the door can be assembled. If the length of the rod is not enough and you cannot lock the door, straighten the rod a little with pliers or pliers. Recheck the lock's operation. Installation of the euro handle of the front right door occurs in the same way. The difference in the installation of the rear handles is that the opening rod is attached with a screw and its length is adjustable by folding. In order not to be mistaken with the length at which you need to make a bend, take the rod and attach it to the rod of the other door. Bend it to the desired length. For convenience, install the rod before installing the handle. Check the functionality of the new handles.
