What are Lambo doors and how to make them yourself?

What could be simpler than installing lambo doors? It would seem: I took it, unscrewed the door, installed Lambo hinges, a shock absorber, screwed the door and it’s done! In practice, everything is much more complicated. A person installing Lambo hinges for the first time, even with special equipment, will have to spend at least a couple of days doing this task. In home-made conditions, it is of course possible for an untrained person to install Lambo hinges, but most likely, serious mistakes will be made that will lead to complete inoperability of the hinge mechanism. If you install lambo doors with your own hands, you will most likely lose time and money spent on the mechanism. In the most advanced cases, it is necessary to repair the car after improper installation of the lamp hinges.

How do we know all this? We are constantly asked to redo hinges due to errors made during the installation of various mechanisms. This is often due to the fact that some Lambo hinges called universal were actually created for a limited number of cars. Sometimes it is impossible to remake the installed mechanism - in this case, we install our own set of lambo doors. And the question arises: isn’t it better to do everything correctly and professionally right away, than to waste money, time, and most importantly, nerves later?

Which set of Lambo doors should I choose for installation?

A definite answer can only be obtained after consultation with professionals who have installed at least several lambo doors. There are a number of mechanisms with their own advantages and disadvantages.

• There are LSD hinges for specific car models, i.e. This kit is not universal, and the price for it is decent.
• GT Factory hinges are a universal kit, but require a lot of space for installation and two shock absorbers are installed on each side, as a result of which versatility is very limited.
• The set of Lambo Star Pro hinges, developed by our company, is also universal, does not require much space for installation, there is one shock absorber per mechanism, the load in this case is distributed evenly over the car’s rack.

Difficulty installing lambo hinges.

When installing lambo hinge kits, a number of technical issues arise that have to be resolved, and each car has its own problems, which only professionals can solve.

• Removing doors and fenders - already at this stage, some cars present surprises.
• Installation of the kit - if the kit is completely suitable, then the locations of the hinges are calculated and they are installed in their standard places. However, things don't always go so smoothly.
• If the hinges do not fit into the standard places, then the design of the kit requires modification. And refinement, in turn, requires specialists and special equipment.
• After the hinges are installed, you need to install shock absorbers. This requires calculating the correct installation location so that the load on the shock absorbers and the car body is distributed evenly.
• Some vehicles require body reinforcement.
• Finally, the wiring and fenders of the car are attached.

When tuning a car, many car owners do not stop at installing alloy wheels, various body kits and adding spoilers. To add individuality to the vehicle, some car owners decide to equip the car with doors that open vertically instead of conventional doors. Such cars, whose doors open upward, always evoke admiring glances.

To install the lambo structure, it is necessary to alter the door mounting points. You can solve this problem on your own.

Making lambo loops

All types of car door trims

How to make a folding mechanism yourself if you have no skills? To do this, you can make the drawing yourself. Another option that makes the work easier is to find a ready-made drawing.

They differ in connection types:

• welded - welded to the body using a welding machine;
• screwed - screwed to the car with bolts.

A 130-degree door has a different design than a 90-degree door, but can also be welded or bolted.

To make loops you will need:

• drilling machine;
• screwdrivers;
• drills of the required size;
• metal plate 0.5cm thick, thickness is key as the loop will hold a heavy
• design;
• marker for drawing a picture on the plate;
• drawing of a loop on paper.

Work order:

• apply the contours of parts to the metal, mark holes and recesses;
• drill out the spare part along the contour - taking your time with the drill to go through every centimeter;
• then drill the finished part for fastenings with bolts; how many there will be is decided by the car owner, depending on the location of the fastening;
• process the metal - clean and paint.

Experts recommend taking shock absorbers from the trunk of a Moskvich or from an old Ford Transit model. The drawings of the parts differ in the design of the mechanism itself - the opening of an angle of 90, 130 degrees, the mechanism.

What types of lambo doors are there?

For the first time, the vertical principle of opening car doors was presented by Italian automakers more than half a century ago in one of the concept cars. The Lambo design was named after the Lamborghini company, whose engineers first developed a special door hinge. One part of the hinge is fixed in the corresponding part of the body with the help of fastening bolts, and the other holds the raised doors open.

Cars with doors that open upward have gained popularity among fans of “cool” tuning who want to make their car look like a sports car. Automatic Lambo doors are mounted on special hinges that secure the doors in the open state, regardless of their angular position.

Cars with doors that open upwards have gained popularity.

This design has several names - guillotine doors, scissor doors or lambo doors, and includes the following components:

• door panels. You can use standard doors or buy factory ones complete with hinges. It is easy to strengthen the corresponding part of the door, screw a purchased or homemade hinge to it and, as a result of using “original” doors, save money;
• hinges with attached gas-filled shock absorbers. Thanks to the action of shock absorbers, the operation of the hinge mechanism is softened, the amount of force applied to the door handle is reduced, and the door opens smoothly.

Existing lambo devices are divided into the following types:

• mechanisms in standard design. They provide a door leaf rotation angle of up to 130 degrees. The main advantage of the design is the possibility of comfortable entry into the car. The main disadvantage is the problematic use in domestic cars;
• VLS type doors. This is a classic solution for tuning cars. The opening process is carried out in two stages. Initially, the canvas opens as in conventional machines, and then rotates in a vertical plane. This design frees up the car frame and door pillar;
• hybrid design. A distinctive feature is the ability to rotate in a horizontal plane, as well as rotate the sashes vertically. The advantage of the design is versatility and ease of opening, the disadvantage is increased cost.

Fastening of special hinges is carried out both using electric welding and by bolting. The design of the hinges allows you to install Lambo doors on almost any car model.

Existing Lambo devices are divided into several varieties

A little history

Such doors were first used on the Alfa Romeo Carabo prototype back in the late 60s of the last century. At that time, this decision made an unforgettable impression on the public. This type of design is still liked by many motorists, which is why Lambo doors can be seen even on regular mass-produced models.

Types of Lambo doors:

• 130 degrees;
• VLS doors;
• hybrid solution.

Doors that open at a 130-degree angle are usually installed on tuned cars. Standard Lambo doors have a rotation angle of 90 degrees, but in some models it can even reach 130. The advantage of this design is that there are no problems when getting in/out of the car, compared to standard Lambo doors.

VLS doors are so-called scissor doors. They are designed in such a way that they first need to be opened slightly outward (like regular doors), and then lifted up. Such self-made Lambo doors provide the ability to release the A-pillar, as well as the door frame.

Hybrid doors are a truly unique solution, because they can be opened both horizontally and vertically. They are used by those who appreciate the advantages of two types of car doors.

It is noteworthy that on many production cars with standard doors, it is quite possible to make Lambo doors. For example, very often this solution is used by owners of VAZ cars. We will mention more details about how to make Lambo doors on a VAZ (read the Lada Priora review here) at the end of the article.

The principle of operation of Lambo doors

Doors that open upwards function quite simply:

• first, a horizontally directed force is applied to the door handle;
• then the leaf rotates 25-30 degrees, as in ordinary doors;
• after this, the canvas begins to rotate upward by 90 degrees or more;
• at the final stage of the opening cycle, the door takes a vertical position.

The secret to how a swing door works lies in the well-designed hinge design.

Swing door leaf

Any canvas can be used: panel, panel, all-glass, with an aluminum or plastic profile. There are no restrictions. But the glass door looks most impressive. It seems to float in the opening, because there is no frame... Based on the number of panels, swing doors are divided into single-leaf and double-leaf. More fabrics are not used. If a one-and-a-half door is needed, its wide leaf is made pendulum, and the narrow one is made swing.

Restaurants, cafes and bars often have swing doors with a porthole.

Attention! A swing door cannot be installed in a frame for a regular swing door!

Pros and cons of an opening door

When planning to install Lambo doors on a VAZ 2114 or another car model, you need to familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of such doors.

Main advantages:

• ensuring the original appearance of the car;
• the ability to drive with the door open;
• Convenience of parking when there is not enough space;
• possibility of self-installation.

Along with the advantages, there are disadvantages:

• the need to increase the height of the garage to open the doors;
• additional costs for re-equipping the machine.

It is also important to be careful when operating the swing door and open it carefully so as not to deform the hinges.

Lambo devices have many advantages

Types of guillotine type doors

To this day, several types of rising doors have been developed:

• Standard. Rising 90 degrees;
• VLS doors. Open upwards and not much outwards;
• Rising 130 degrees;
• Combined. They can open either upwards or in a standard way.

Features of installing Lambo doors on a VAZ

For those who are concerned about the question of how to make Lambo doors, first of all, you need to start by looking for Lambo hinges. Today, ready-made Lambo hinges for VAZ can be purchased for 10–20,000 rubles, and they are made quite professionally.

But if this price seems excessive to you, then you can make them yourself. And it will cost you no more than 5,000 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages of scissor doors

The main advantage of such doors is their simply crazy appearance.

A car with such exterior elements will always attract attention, which is what those who install them are trying to achieve.

Another important advantage is the ability to open doors in tight parking conditions. Another plus is the convenience of visibility to the rear when reversing, but today, in the age of rear-view cameras, this problem is solved in a different way.

There are also disadvantages to such doors:

1. First of all, Lambo hinges are less reliable than standard ones; due to high loads, they quickly weaken and the doors no longer hold in the open position.
2. The second disadvantage is the inability to open the door in rooms with low ceilings, for example, in garages or underground parking lots. Also, often, in case of an accident, especially with a rollover, the doors do not open at all.
3. However, the main disadvantage and obstacle to installing Lambo doors on a VAZ is their high cost.

Purchased and self-made hinges

In order to tune a car, you will need to make Lambo hinges yourself or buy ready-made ones. It is advisable to first find out how much Lambo hinges cost in order to estimate the possible cost.

Making Lambo hinges for fastening doors

If you have the skills to perform plumbing work, you can try to make Lambo hinges with your own hands. To do this, you will need to find a drawing of a hinge suitable for a specific car model and purchase the necessary materials. You will need sheet metal and a gas shock absorber with the required rod length and load capacity.

How to make car doors open upwards - do-it-yourself installation

It is important to understand in detail how to make a Lambo door so that the hinge mechanism works smoothly and the doors fit snugly into the opening.

In order to install Lambo doors with your own hands, you will need to perform the following work:

You can install Lambo doors yourself

• draw up an action plan;
• make a swivel joint;
• dismantle the car fender;
• disconnect the wiring going to the door;
• remove the door leaves;
• try on the rotary joint at the installation location;
• strengthen the door pillar and the opening in the hinge fastening area;
• weld or bolt the hinges;
• attach the left and right doors to the hinges.

Let us dwell on the features of the main stages.

Drawing for universal Lambo hinges and other preparatory work

On specialized websites it is easy to find a ready-made sketch or diagram of a loop. You need to familiarize yourself with the drawing, transfer it to the metal, cut out the blank and fit it to the shape of the opening.

The material for assembling the mechanism is easy to purchase, and the tools for performing the work are always available in the arsenal of home craftsmen.

Installing and adjusting hinges on cars with doors that open upwards

Self-made or purchased hinges should be applied to the place of fixation and make sure that their size and shape match. If necessary, the mechanism should be adjusted. The loop can be secured using electric welding or ordinary bolts. It is worth giving preference to the second option, as it makes the adjustment easier.

Installation of car doors and door openers

Installing Lambo doors to a pre-attached hinge requires care. After screwing the door leaf, it is necessary to check how the hinge mechanism works, check the connection of the door to the seal and make sure that it can be opened easily. With an increased weight of the structure, additional reinforcement of the body will be required.

By performing work according to the specified algorithm, you can convert any car. For example, if you want to give a new image to an old V8, you can install Lambo doors on a VAZ 2108 with your own hands or turn to professionals for help. Experts will always help with practical advice and tell you how to avoid mistakes. You'll always be the center of attention as you step out of your car with the lift-up doors!

There are ways to tune a Priora car to make your car different from others and stand out on the road. These are all kinds of lighting, body kits, headlights, exhaust system upgrades and many others. Lambo doors change the entire concept of the car and make it exclusive.

The hand of a master can touch both the exterior and the interior. Probably one of the unusual ways to decorate your car is to install a Lambo door on a Priora. Price with installation is more than 20,000 rubles.

Wanting to install these devices, owners are faced with a painful choice: do it themselves, or outsource the work to a car service center. If you carefully understand each operation and the intricacies of installing a new door mount, there will be no problems - just treat your favorite car with due sensitivity, and the new product will definitely please you.

Manufacturing process and features

In the process of making Lambo doors, the main nuance is the manufacture of hinges responsible for opening them.
To make hinges for the Lambo door with your own hands, you will need to purchase shock absorbers from Ford Transit (those that raise the rear hatch) and luggage shock absorbers from Moskvich. Install a foreign shock absorber at the bottom of the structure, which will bear the main load. Attach the shock absorber of a domestic car on top - it will help the device stay in any position. For ease of alignment, you will need to make marks on the door arch, as well as the door. When trying on, take into account the location of the lambo door - it will not touch the front window pillar.

Lambo hinge installation process

Some versions of the drawings indicate the need to screw an additional strictly vertical tube from the bottom of the structure, which provides better support.

Some blueprints suggest there is a button that will raise your car door, but it will still need to be opened manually to the side. To make it easier to open the doors, you can attach a handle to the bottom of the structure, which will allow you to close the door while sitting in the vehicle.

There are a number of other features that you need to consider when making and trying on devices:

• To avoid damaging the car fender, remove a piece of the door “goose” and cut out a part of the pillar for it. To do this, you will need a 3 mm thick stand, which is cut with a channel;
• You can also weld a reinforcement into the door to prevent damage to the mechanism and injury when opening or closing the structure;
• Car enthusiasts installing such a structure need to check the alignment of the holes and adjust the gaps. If necessary, they should be covered with a rubber or sealant seal;
• When operating in harsh climate conditions, shock absorbers may wear out ahead of schedule.

Lambo door kits – article number, price, manufacturers

Contacting a car dealer will lead you to be horrified - the price with installation is almost twice as much as a regular set of tuning hinges. Technically, these parts can be made independently, but due to the complexity of the design, it is worth abandoning this idea. If you want to save money, buy used parts.

• The most popular is AutoTK. The article number of the kit with gas stops for doors weighing more than 45 kg is 1000001764. Cost is 10,377 rubles. If the weight is less than 45 kg, the price will drop to 9,744 rubles. Without gas stops - 7,333 rubles.
• Universal kit Hofer LH-1. Cost – about 15,000 rubles.

Many people praise the kit from AutoTK: if you do it yourself, you can make a mistake of just a couple of millimeters, and then constantly listen to the creak when closing and opening the door. So far there have been no complaints about the quality of this company's products.

Volkswagen XL1

One of the most interesting and rare Volkswagen models in the entire history of the brand went into production for more than ten years, and the project was personally supervised by Ferdinand Piëch.

As a result, the small-scale (total circulation was 250 cars) two-seater XL1 of the 2013 model was distinguished by ultra-low fuel consumption, achieved not least due to its modest weight (795 kg) and precise aerodynamics. The air resistance coefficient was an insignificant value - 0.189.

The XL1 also featured a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on a 0.8-liter two-cylinder turbodiesel. Together with the electric motor, it produced 68 hp. and drove the rear wheels through a robotic box. Using a battery alone, Volkswagen could cover up to 50 km, but since diesel fuel consumption was 1 l/100 km, even with a modest 10-liter tank the total range was decent.

Malfunctions - what can break

First of all, it is necessary to dispel the myth that they break almost immediately: after three weeks they really need to be adjusted. The hinges will “sag” a little under pressure, so their position needs to be adjusted.

Another point is related to the untidiness of passengers. Not only do they manage to break the handles of standard doors, the urge to pull the handle towards yourself with all your might does not fade away with tuned parts: if they are pulled too hard, forcing them to move in a horizontal plane, the mechanism becomes loose.

There are several common problems that owners of tuned Priors face:

• If the machine sits idle for a long time, the hinges sag a lot.
• An open door will swing, thereby wearing out the mechanism more. There's nothing to be done about it.
• In winter, they should not be opened too suddenly. This also applies to sudden ascents. Frosty weather is shock absorbers' worst enemy.

What to look for when choosing a lambo door installation kit

When choosing VAZ components, three options for lambo doors are usually considered:

• 130 degrees. The standard is only 90 degrees. When, with the help of modifications, it was possible to increase the turning angle by 40 degrees, it became more convenient to get out and get into the car - this is evidenced by the reviews of the owners.
• VLS. The opening mechanism is as follows: first you need to pull them towards you by the handle, and then lift them up. Structurally simpler, but no less reliable.
• Hybrid lambo doors. They can move in both planes - horizontally or vertically.

As for the Priora, VLS doors are most suitable for it. They are characterized by the following characteristics:

• Metal: steel with 0.45% carbon.
• Bearings: needle. Type: 941. Dimensions: 20 mm x 26 mm x 14 mm. Quantity: 2.
• Load capacity: 95 kg.
• Angle of movement in the horizontal plane: 30 degrees.
• Angle of movement in the vertical plane: 90 degrees.
• Possibility of fixing at the top point: present.

A selection of cars with a very unusual input and output.

Evolution is doing its job: let original, but not always convenient or rational solutions die out, giving way to purely profitable ones. This is why mass-produced modern models are globally so similar, but differ mainly in small features such as Jeep designer Easter eggs or Skoda Simply Clever pieces.

But among the one-off cars, there are still cool design elements that you don’t need to look for under a magnifying glass - they themselves literally scream about their unusualness. Some of these ways to stand out include butterfly wing doors, a cross between gull wing doors and guillotine lambo doors. In this case, access to the car is provided by hatches that hinge upward and sideways on cunning hinges. This is how the usual ritual of getting behind the wheel turns into a spectacular show.

Scroll through the slides to see cars with these unusual doors.

Installation work

The preparatory stage of installing Priora lambo doors is as follows:

1. Place the car on a level surface and apply the handbrake.
2. Remove the front doors, then you need to remove the front fenders. Below them will be your work area - a piece of metal above the wheel arch.
3. Place marks for installation accuracy. In essence, this is similar to installing door hinges for interior doors, just keep in mind that it should not touch the body when moving, and also fit tightly to the seals - otherwise you will experience all the delights of a trip with raindrops.
4. Place a channel - a metal plate 3 mm thick - in the intended place, this will strengthen the body.

How to put

Installation of Priora lambo doors is carried out as follows:

1. Place special stickers on the wheel arch and then on the door - this will help correct its position.
2. The installation of the lamp loop can be done with bolts or welding. In an amicable way, you can first fix them with bolts, and after adjustments based on the results of a couple of weeks of use, weld them.
3. Install gas shock absorbers so that when the doors are at their highest point, they should be fully open.
4. Try moving the lambo doors. If everything works, install the fenders to check if the doors are touching the body.

Instructions for using lambo doors:

When operating a car with lambo doors, you and your passengers will be faced with the problem of being unable to open and close the lambo door; for this you will need a little training. When installed correctly, a door behaves like this: 1. When opening the door, you need to push the door out of the opening by 15-20 cm without much effort and push it up a little. 2. The door should easily lift itself into the air to its extreme position. (set independently and adjustable). 3. When closing, you need to pull the door down and the force should not be too great; even a fragile girl with a properly configured set can elegantly lower the door to its lowest position. 4. Next, without removing your hands from the door handle, smoothly pull the handle towards you, not forgetting to press down a little. This is necessary so that the door slams exactly in the area of ​​the lock and does not hit the lock pawl on the doorway. These simple instructions will help you use your Lambo doors beautifully and reliably for many years to come.

Technical data.

A set of “Lambo hinges” is installed to replace the standard hinges by drilling into the mounting areas on the hinge the necessary holes corresponding to the seats in the door and on the car body. Installation by welding the hinges on the door is also possible. When purchasing the product “Lambo hinges - universal,” you should take into account that you will need to extend the door wiring harness by 15-20 cm to control the mirrors. window lifters, etc. If necessary, the kit can be dismantled and the original hinges returned to their place.

The load capacity of the shock absorbers included in the kit is 800 lbs. (Enhanced)

When purchasing a set, keep in mind that these Lambo hinges are designed for increased door weight, usually with installed acoustic podiums or with additional sound insulation. In this case, the load is compensated by powerful shock absorbers. Also, before purchasing, make sure that doors with protruding acoustic podiums will not allow your door to open completely 60 degrees as in advertising photos. That the truth will not at all prevent you and your passengers from getting into the car.

Using lambo doors in winter.

In the harsh climatic zones of Russia, the use of Lambo hinges can be seriously difficult. The reason for this is the gas-filled shock absorbers of the kit, which push our door up. At severe subzero temperatures, gas, as we know from the school physics curriculum, is compressed, which naturally affects the performance of the kit. This means that in winter the effort required to lift the doors will be greater in proportion to the air temperature. When closing the door at minus 30, sometimes you have to hold the door with your hand so that it does not fall when boarding and disembarking passengers. This fact must be taken into account when purchasing. However, the customized Lambo hinges can be easily removed and in return for the winter you can install a standard set “until spring”, which will solve the problem radically and practically. In the spring, the kit easily returns to its place and the beautiful car continues to please the eye of the owner and others.

The myth about bad weather and Lambo doors.

Many people say that in bad weather, streams of water and dirt pour from the Lambo doors into the cabin and onto the entering or exiting passenger. This is fortunately not true. Even in heavy rain, water flows to the lower corner of the open door and does not fall on the passenger. Unless rain from the sky can fall into the open doorway and dampen your mood.

Disadvantages of Lambo doors:

1. Inconvenient, in comparison with ordinary doors, whatever one may say.

2. Everyone has to be trained to open or close such a door correctly. Otherwise, the door pawl will hit the doorway. 3. Quite often, when the car and doors are used intensively, it is necessary to adjust the gaps and the kit. With daily driving and frequent opening and closing approximately once every 3 months.

4. When used in harsh climatic zones, shock absorbers may fail earlier than expected. If you close the door suddenly at very low temperatures, the shock absorber may become depressurized.

5. During installation, it may be necessary to trim the inside of the front fenders to properly position the hinge kit. If you do not solve the problem with improvised means (with a rubber seal or another method), this situation can lead to extraneous noise at speed and dust in the interior. 6. Despite the simple installation and the coincidence of the mounting holes with the factory ones, it is almost impossible to ideally set the gaps in the door as on the factory hinges. 7. Storing a car with Lambo hinges installed in a garage with a low ceiling can be difficult.

Pros of Lambo hinges:

Types of door stops

Retainers can be of different types and extremely varied. There are devices on the market for doors that are either built into them or mounted on the leaf. Such devices allow the door to close softly, without unnecessary noise, absorbing the force of the impact. The advantages are the impossibility of pinching fingers, and, on the contrary, the ability to ventilate the premises through the gap remaining between the door and the frame.

Floor door holders, as their name suggests, are secured to the floor, limiting the door's ability to come into contact with the wall. This is a very simple mechanism, but at the same time it performs a very important function - protecting property from premature damage.

In addition, the lock for opening the interior or entrance door can be equipped with a magnet. In this case, the door is securely fixed and does not open, and it does not require much effort to open it. There are other devices with the same functionality - wall-mounted. If you don’t want to spoil your expensive floor covering, you can always use a wall-mounted version of the limiter.

Some stops are attached with one side to the door leaf using self-tapping screws, and the other, soft side, rests against the wall or floor. One of these limiters is the door lock STN 0960. This is a Russian-made door lock that is installed on any type of door, regardless of the material of manufacture.

This type of limiter and this device in particular is a very good way to protect property from damage. Let's imagine a situation - there is an expensive wardrobe behind the door, guests come and, not knowing about its existence, open the door in a big way. The wardrobe is naturally damaged, and the mood is indelibly spoiled.

With the help of a simple lock, this situation can be avoided. In addition, such fasteners are necessary in houses where plasterboard partitions are installed. Any draft can lead to the door handle breaking through the wall, which will also lead to dire consequences.

Another type of door lock latch is with adjustable opening angle. It allows the door to open to a certain angle, similar to the ventilation mechanism on plastic windows.

The lock can be attached directly to the door handle, eliminating the need for a lock. This door lock retainer can be of three varieties.

First, the roller lock. When closing the door, such a mechanism is hidden in a groove corresponding to its size and will not allow the door to open. Once you pull the door towards you, the roller easily comes out of its “socket” and the door opens.

Secondly, the foley, the principle of operation of which is similar to the roller, but instead of a roller, a tongue is used that falls into the groove and gets stuck in it, easily “released from captivity” when you press the door handle.

Thirdly, a magnetic latch for doors made of plastic or glass. The door is attached with a magnet to the metal frame, but with a slight force the magnet “releases” it.

One of the common mechanisms is a regular latch, which, when it fits into the hole in the bracket, secures the door in the open position. You can easily make such a door lock with your own hands.
