VAZ 2112: we install Lambo doors ourselves

The cars of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant have never been standards of style. This led to the fact that Zhiguli owners very often tried to somehow improve or decorate their cars. In the 90s, the concept of “collective farm tuning” even came into use. As you might guess, this concept was used in a negative context, and those who tried to carry out tuning tried very hard not to fall under this definition.

For this purpose, serious technical elements or parts were used, which are quite expensive. But you can save money by making them yourself. One of these elements is guillotine type doors. How to make such Lambo hinges on a VAZ will be discussed in the material below.

Installing a Lambo yourself.

You can install Lambo in specialized auto repair shops, or yourself. When choosing the first option, you should be prepared for factors such as:

1. Wasting a lot of money.
2. The waiting period is up to six months.
3. The total cost of work, which reaches 50 thousand rubles.

Therefore, you should pay attention to the second option. The biggest advantage of Lambos is the ability to mount them on absolutely any car.

Thus, even a person with average income and an old, Soviet-era car can turn it into a car a la Lamborghini.

Installation of the mechanism consists of several stages:

1. Drawing up a diagram.
2. Making loops.
3. Their location on the door and attachment to the car.

An example of how to make a Lambo on a VAZ can be seen in the video or learned from the article.

Drawing up a diagram is an absolutely necessary component for successful installation of hinges. That is why you should start with it.

For more complex varieties, the scheme will be completely different, for example:

Despite such differences in schemes, the work according to them will be exactly the same.

Once you have sorted out the drawing, you can move on to the next stage: making the hinges. You can create them yourself, or by turning to professionals. If you choose the first option, do the following:

1. First, a general diagram of the loops is drawn or it can also be downloaded from the Internet.
2. Then all the parts are carefully cut out and applied to chipboard or any other dense material.
3. Cutting out designs from this material.
4. Adjustment to car door dimensions. By the way, it should be taken into account that it is better to carry it out on a removed part of the car, so as not to break or dent anything.
5. Choice of metal.
6. Attaching the layout and cutting it out of metal.
7. Turning sharp edges and sanding.

After all the steps for making loops have been completed, you can begin the main work.

To position the hinges on the car door, you may need the following set of tools:

• a set of ready-made or self-made loops;
• wire cutters;
• Screwdriver Set;
• pliers;
• fastenings for hinges.

Next, the doors are attached to the car:

• the hinges are welded to them;
• car parts are mounted in place in the car;
• the side part of the car is disassembled;
• cables are drawn from the loop and attached to the body pillar;
• then everything comes back together;
• Lambo installation is ready.

In total, this procedure takes from a week to a month. However, with numerous bells and whistles, the installation of a Lambo can increase significantly - up to six months.

1. The door in the closed position should fit tightly against the seals.
2. It should open freely without clinging to anything.
3. It is necessary to strengthen the body when the entire structure is heavy.

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

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.

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 installing a Lambo style door opener:

After you have purchased a drawing of the door lifting mechanism from us, you need to make a part based on it. To do this, you need to contact a milling machine and turner who could complete the task. After making all the components, you need to prepare the installation site. To do this you need to remove the front fenders to gain access to the A-pillar. Then, on the front pillar, select a place so that: 1. The door is installed correctly, since it can be closed and, in the closed position, fits tightly to the seals without distortions. 2. The door could open in a horizontal plane ( i.e., the same as before installing the mechanism

) without deformation and jamming, and also so that when opening it does not catch the car body and interior trim. 3. So that after installing the door lifting mechanism, the rigidity of the body is not lost, otherwise it will be necessary to slightly strengthen the body structure by welding several spacers. Once you have decided on the place where the mechanism is attached to the door and to the body, you need to assemble the mechanism according to the assembly drawing ( included in the delivery package)

) and accurately mark the mounting location.
Once you have done this, you need to fix the mechanism to the body and door. This can be done either by bolting or by welding ( we recommend using welding
).
To do this, position the mechanism horizontally at the height of the mounting on the front pillar, and attach the movable lever to the door. After this, close the door, maintaining it at the desired level. After which you need to secure the base of the mechanism to the front pillar. Having finished attaching the mechanism, you need to move on to setting it up and adjusting it. You need to use movable bolts to adjust the door opening angle in the horizontal plane. It is also necessary to install 2 powerful gas shock absorbers ( calculated for a door of 40 kg
). The installation location depends only on the prevailing circumstances, but it must be selected in such a way that when the door is fully open vertically upward, the shock absorbers are not stretched all the way. And at the same time, shock absorbers should not interfere with each other during operation. After installation, adjustment and final tightening of all bolts, you need to put the wings back and check for functionality. If there is a need to adjust the working surfaces, it will be necessary to carry out this procedure.

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.

Types and classification of swing doors

We have already figured out the technical nuances of this type of entrance doors, now we need to understand what types there are. The first classification is divided according to the materials used in production:

1. Glass
2. Aluminum
3. PVC
4. Wooden

The pendulum door has become so popular in recent years that when renovating apartments, this option is already included in the design from the very beginning. Glass doors are mostly installed in apartments; it looks aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, the glass is almost not scratched and does not lose its appearance, and if you do not try to break it, it will last a very long time. By the way, special tempered glass is used for the door leaf to prevent collapse from even a very strong blow. In terms of transparency, there are also no problems; it can be changed with the help of special tinting paints.

Swinging interior doors made of aluminum are stronger than their purely glass counterpart, but in fact, here the same glass is placed in a metal frame. The shape, type and size of the frame vary, which generally changes the overall image; this can be convenient when building an interior.

A PVC door is the same double-glazed window, only here a pendulum hinge is also installed so that it opens in both directions. Here the problem lies in the unchanged appearance, since such doors are the same in appearance as any plastic windows and nothing can be done about it. Wooden ones are somewhat less common, since this option is not mass-produced using the pendulum principle. They can also be combined with glass and are the most aesthetically pleasing option of this type.

Second classification.

This type of canvas is also classified by the number of sashes. They are:

1. Single leaf
2. Bivalve

The principle of operation here is the same - if the width of the opening or arch exceeds a meter, then, at the owner’s request, two doors are made. If the size is smaller, it will not be beautiful, so these standards are adhered to. Otherwise, it is customary to install exactly the same special loops so that the canvas turns in both directions.

The network “blew up” LADA Samara with doors like Lambo

A wonderful example of folk tuning was discussed online.

“At least as good as foreign cars”: The first review of LADA Vesta Sport was shared by a satisfied owner

The motorist does not yet regret the million he spent.

In Russia, you won’t surprise anyone with tuning LADA cars, but sometimes you come across examples on the roads that will take your breath away. We are talking about just such a brainchild - the unique LADA Samara with doors like Lamborghini supercars.

An unusual VAZ-2114 was filmed in the Republic of Dagestan, where this type of tuning is quite common. Usually local motorists lower their VAZs and LADAs, but this example received an incredible modification - gullwing doors that open upward, like a Lambo.

The “charged” car also received an aerodynamic body kit, a new exhaust system and a unique black body color. Some commentators have suggested that the car is equipped with a turbo engine.

“It will compete with the Bugatti Chiron!”, “The best VAZ-2114 in the whole village”, “Respect to the owner!” - LADA Samara “blew up” the network.

Let us remind you that VAZ-2114 cars were produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant from 2001 to 2013. The five-door hatchback is a restyled version of the VAZ-2109 and differs from its predecessors in the special design of the front part of the body with new headlights, hood cover, radiator grille, bumpers and the presence of moldings.

History of the origin of lambo doors

It is believed that these doors, which captured hearts and minds, were born due to the world famous Lamborghini, a company located in the region of the same name in Italy. Futuristic guillotine doors were installed for the first time on a production Countach. They are known abroad as "Scissordoors, Lambodoors and Lamborghinidoors".

The palm in the innovative approach rightfully belongs to the manufacturer Alfa Romeo. After all, it was on their Carabo concept car, produced in 1968, that similar doors were installed. The designer and developer of the mechanism was Marcello Gandini. This model was designed for purely practical reasons: a planted sports car had little rear visibility, and it was safer to back up with the door raised and your head outside the car.

Of course, this element carries not only an aesthetic, but also a practical load. Thus, the door design allows for unhindered parking in narrow spaces. But, of course, they install them precisely to add spice to their car.

Types of Lambo doors.

There are three types of Lambo devices:

• standard modification;
• lambo installation with scissor effect;
• mixed modification.

With the standard modification, the door opens at an angle of 130 degrees. Such a mechanism can only be installed on a regular car by seriously modifying it. However, it is not difficult. The most important thing is to make the loops. The advantages of this modification: low cost, quick opening of the mechanism.

Lambo installation with a scissor effect differs from the standard: it opens to the side, then upward by 80-130 degrees. This type is simpler and, as a rule, its installation can be done both by the car owner himself, who wants to make the car unique, and by employees of specialized auto repair shops.

Hybrid Lambos are a combination of the first two types, which means that they can open to the side or up. This type is the most perfect, although it requires some effort and a large investment of money for the manufacture of parts and installation of doors.

Advantages and disadvantages

Lambo-type sash models have several advantages:

• maneuverability increases (you can drive a car with the door open);
• it becomes possible to park in narrow places;
• The Lambo hinge is installed in the same place as a regular one, so the “butterfly” design can be easily converted from the classic one.

Disadvantages of an upward opening door:

• there is a problem with opening a door with a lambo hinge in a low garage;
• the cost of Lambo hinges is higher than conventional equipment for car doors;
• To check the operation of the mechanism or install it, you must seek help from a service station with experienced auto mechanics.

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.

Door installation steps

First you will need to make the actual loops. To do this, you will need an experienced turner who will make them according to the drawings you provide. Drawings can be found on the Internet.

Preparatory stage

The hinges are attached to the body in three ways, either by bolts, or by welding, or a combination. The most reliable method is a combined one. You first install the hinges on the bolts, and after adjusting them, weld them together.

These doors will serve you for as long as possible. True, in this case you may need either a welder or a welding machine. Therefore, this method is not always suitable.

After you have decided on the option of mounting the hinges, remove the front fenders of the car.

Clean the area where the hinges are mounted under the wings. For this operation you will need a grinder. If the place where the hinges are attached falls under an uneven part of the body and trim, then a metal plate will need to be welded to this place.

In general, the installation location of the hinges under the wings should be reinforced in any case, since according to the design of the car, the thickness of the metal in these places is insufficient. When making homemade hinges, you will need shock absorbers to hold the doors.

In general, the order of preliminary work when installing lambo hinges looks like this:

1. We remove the fender of the car,
2. We remove the doors
3. We disassemble the doors
4. We strengthen the place where the hinges are attached under the wing.

Installing hinges

The hinges must be installed as high as possible so that the doors close as tightly as possible and do not touch parts of the car body. Mainly the hood. Another important nuance is maintaining body rigidity. The fact is that during installation you will have to cut the front pillar. After this, you definitely need to strengthen this place. Typically, a 3 mm thick channel is used for this.

After installing the hinges, you need to install shock absorbers

During their installation, you need to pay attention to the fact that when the doors are open, the shock absorber rods are fully extended

Hinge installation procedure:

At the place where the hinges are attached under the wing, we mount a hinge with bolts, We cut out part of the door pillar and reinforce this place, either with a channel with a wall thickness of 3 mm, or with sheets of steel of the same thickness, while carefully scalding them, We mount the door part of the hinge, We measure out the places where the shock absorbers are attached, two pieces per hinge and reinforced with a sheet of metal with a thickness of 3 mm, Assemble the hinge and connect it to the doors, Adjust the doors

We draw attention to the fact that the door does not touch any parts of the body. First of all, the hood or windshield frame, we mount shock absorbers, we check the operation of the door with shock absorbers.

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.

Where did they come from

The so-called “Lambo” (the name comes from the Lamborghini brand, the first car in the world equipped with this type of door) are standard car doors that open not sideways, as everyone has long been accustomed to, but upwards - thanks to a very unusual fastening design, which is based on one single hinge . So:

• For the first time, such a door mechanism was developed and implemented by an Italian designer named Marcello Gandini, who worked at Bertone in 1968.
• Then his conceptual design of the AlfaRomeoCarabo car created a real sensation, surprised and delighted the public
• Therefore, if you really want to make your car more attractive and impressive, then you can make similar doors with your own hands, simply by converting your domestic car

In modern development there are already three types:

• Opening 130 degrees
• So-called VLS doors
• And a hybrid model of scissor doors with conventional doors

The described models, in the very first case, are used, as a rule, for modified (tuned) car models:

• In standard scissor doors, their rotation angle was 90 degrees, but now some open up to 130 degrees
• The advantage of the 130-degree model is the fact that they do not interfere with leaving the car and getting into it, unlike conventional scissor doors

Here is the second option with the configuration of standard guillotine doors:

• However, they are designed differently, the doors open slightly outwards at first and then begin to open upwards
• This allows you to make the door frame free, as well as the A-pillar of the car body.

The third type refers to universal types:

• It can open vertically and horizontally, it all depends on the need, as well as the availability of free space around the car
• Used to get all the positive aspects from both types

For cars with an ordinary type of door, including domestic ones, the doors can be made in the Lambo style, because the location of the hinges is convenient and coincides with the location of standard fasteners, so major alterations are not required, our instructions will help.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of “scissor doors” is their aesthetic and very unusual appearance, however:

• While the Lambo is driving, the doors of the VAZ 2112 can be in the open position, and will also allow you to get out of your vehicle, even if it is parked in a very narrow place
• And thanks to the fact that hinges of this design are located at the same points as conventional fastenings, it is not at all difficult to convert a car to fit the Lambo doors of a VAZ 21120
• The disadvantages include a slight reduction in the landing opening, as well as the need for the height of the parking space to allow the doors to be opened (so that the door does not touch the ceiling); in addition, difficulties arise with evacuating passengers if such a car overturns on the roof

Before you begin installing a Lambo door on a VAZ 2112, you should carefully study the design drawings:

• From the drawings you will see that when installing the door you will need to remove the wing and weld the fastening mechanism
• If you want to install Lambo doors on a VAZ 211240 (as well as 2110, 2109, 2108) and some completely different models of domestic cars, you must take into account that all these models are characterized by insufficient strength, the thickness of the metal located under the wings
• That is why it will be necessary to first “weld” the so-called “strengthening slingshot”
• And on rear-wheel drive VAZ models, in addition, additional problems may arise when removing the wings

Advantages and disadvantages

The undeniable advantages of such a constructive alteration include the non-standard appearance. A large number of reviews and photographs demonstrate this. Maybe that’s why VAZ 2108 owners are happy to remodel their cars. The considerable narrowing of the door volume and, as a result, the difficulty of getting into the car can be called the main disadvantage. In addition, you must constantly monitor the height of the parking space. If you roll over onto the roof, it will also be difficult to get out of the car.

Before you start improving the appearance of your car, the owner must first carefully read all the information on the modification. Carefully study the drawings of the mechanism, photos, video materials. You will notice that installing this structure will require dismantling the wing. On rear-wheel drive VAZ models, difficulties may arise when removing the wings. The thickness of the metal in the area where the hinges are attached to the VAZ 2108 is insufficiently thick. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think about increasing the rigidity of the body in advance and prepare the so-called reinforcing slingshot ahead of time.

You can buy factory-made loops for fastening, costing about 25 thousand rubles, or try to make them yourself. Nowadays it is easy to find a sufficient amount of information on making loops. So, having some skills, it’s quite possible to make loops yourself.

Lambo hinge set

So, if you redo everything yourself, then it is advisable to purchase rear door shock absorbers from the Ford Transit 85N ahead of time. They must be installed from below, since the load is greater there. And for installation on top, shock absorbers from the Moskvich AZLK 2141 trunk are quite suitable. Thus, the load will be distributed evenly and the Lambo door will be able to stay in any plane.

The opening mechanism must be installed in such a way as to subsequently ensure a tight fit to the seal along the entire plane. When opening, the door should not cling to body elements or trim.

During the installation process, one nuance arises: in order for the front fender of the car to remain intact, it is necessary to remove part of the strut. Such an operation can affect the rigidity of the body, so the rack needs to be reinforced with a channel with a thickness of 3 mm. You can also strengthen the device itself in the mounting area. Before installation, it is advisable to mark the contact area with chalk to facilitate alignment in the future.

Door hinges are attached to the body using bolts or welding. Next, you need to adjust the hinges with movable bolts. The location for installing shock absorbers must be selected taking into account the fact that during operation they should not interfere with each other. The installation must be carried out so that the shock absorbers are in the fully extended position when opening.

Shock absorbers

When fitting, most likely, the services of a milling turner will be required. Sometimes welding work may be required. As in any process, many questions and difficulties may arise here, which only a specialist can quickly cope with:

• Already at the preparatory stage, many cars present “gifts”. Sometimes it can be very difficult to dismantle wings and doors;
• If the loops purchased or made by yourself do not fit where they are planted, modifications are necessary. This operation requires a professional in this field and special equipment;
• Accurate calculation of the space for installation of all components. The load on the body should be distributed evenly;
• For VAZ models, it will be necessary to strengthen the body elements;
• Reinstallation of electrical wiring and previously removed body parts.

From the above, it is clear that the process is quite labor-intensive. The conversion operation will take more than one day and will require a certain amount of design and body work. But it all depends on the desires and capabilities of the car enthusiast.

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.

Classification

Depending on the type of installation, the following model drawings are distinguished:

• welded They are attached by welding, which sometimes causes inconvenience during installation;
• fastened with bolts. The bolts are installed on standard or car-drilled holes.

The variety of mechanisms and possibilities of how many degrees the doors open has led to the existence of the following mechanisms:

at 130 degrees. This design is used to create minimal obstacles when getting out of the car and is a modified version of the “scissors” model;

Lambo door mechanism

VLS doors (“scissors”). Their drawings provide for opening the car components, first a little outward, and then upward. This approach allows you to free up the front pillar and door frame;

Mechanism of the German company LSD

a hybrid of ordinary doors and “scissors”. They open both vertically and horizontally, which does not interfere with exiting the car and at the same time frees up the door frame.

Hybrid door mechanism

Owners of domestically produced cars can install a similar mechanism. Many people are interested in how much effort it takes and how much it costs. If you have the skills of a turner-milling machine, have a friend with experience in this field, and also purchased the necessary materials yourself, then production will cost you several thousand rubles (purchased Lambo doors cost several tens of thousands, which is an exorbitant amount for a domestic car). Plus, due to the location of the hinges on domestic cars, you won't need to make a lot of adjustments to get the doors to open upwards.

Installation process

If you install the Lambo mechanism correctly with your own hands, it will not touch the hood, wings or other surfaces of the VAZ 2108. The structure is secured with bolts. A drawing according to which you can make the product and install it can be found on the Internet, guided by your car model. When installing a purchased product, the diagram is included in the kit. The drawing indicates permissible deviations.

For more reliable fastening, it is recommended to use welding after adjustment. If you make the entire structure with your own hands, then for better wear resistance, install gas struts from the luggage compartment of a Moskvich or Barguzin. For easy opening, you may need a stop from the luggage compartment of the VAZ 2112.

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• Remove the car fender. Disassemble the standard car door opening system.
• If necessary, construct a template for the new mechanism so that you can try it on the door frame as you work.
• Clean and polish the area where the doors will be welded using a grinder.
• If the surface of the body is uneven, then you will need to additionally weld a metal plate under the hinges, which will strengthen the mechanism and level the body. Also cut a hole in the post to cover the hinge.
• Secure the lambo hinge with 3 bolts.
• Weld a platform to secure the gas stops for opening the structure, closer to the car headlight.
• In some cases, it may be necessary to cut the car fender. However, in order not to spoil the wing, you can remove part of the door goose or cut the stand to its shape.

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.

Is it worth doing?

The doors differ from ordinary ones in that they tilt upward. Initially, this solution was invented for sports cars that differed in width. This made it difficult to see. To reverse, you had to open the door and lean out.

In the 2000s, cars with doors that open up became fashionable, as such cars looked like they were in Hollywood films or at exhibitions. This type of opening allows passengers to get in and out comfortably, even where there is little parking space.
