What are Euro pens
Factory door handles for the VAZ 2114 are not particularly convenient or beautiful in design. Euro pens are an excellent replacement for them. They are called that because the idea of design and operating principle was taken from Western automakers. Such handles have long been used on many cars of European brands.
Opening the door with their help is very simple; you do not need to press the lever under the handle, as with the factory solution. To open, just pull the handle itself and the mechanism will work, after which it will return to its original position.
This principle of operation allows the Euro pens 2114 to look quite attractive and minimalistic. They do not have any protruding elements, buttons that need to be pressed or levers that need to be pulled. The lock cylinder is installed in the handle (in VAZ 2114 euro handles for front doors) and that’s it, the rest of the mechanism is hidden and cannot be detected at first glance.
