Got Lambo Doors?...

Roman Chariot has been installing lambo doors on all types of vehicle for years. We specialize in providing the best hinge on the market with quality installation. However, there a select few that want to show their car to the world with some class and certianly a little flair. Feast your eyes below on Mr. Keith Pickering's yellow 2003 Porsche 911 with lambo doors from LSD hinges. You can tell by the car and certainly by the model with his car that Keith is proud and honored to have Roman Chariot work on his "Precious".

It is customers like Keith that keeps us striving for the best! Thanks Keith from Team Roman Chariot!

The LSD door system consists of a specific door hinge which initially opens the factory door 30 degrees outwards, like a common car door and then upwards by the support of a gas shock with minimal effort.

The door opens in 2 steps:

Step 1: Open the door outwards as usual to a maximum angle of approximately 30 degrees. Allowing comfortable access to enter and exit the vehicle.

Step 2: Lift the door after reaching the opening angle of 30 degrees. This is done with ease as the door is supported by the gas shock to an angle of approximately 40 degrees.
The LSD door hinges are installed at the original mounting points of the dismantled factory hinges. A range of adjustability is built into each LSD door hinge for perfect alignment and operation. Additional features also include limits that prevent the doors from being open too far as well as avoiding contact of the rocker panel.

Call us to install your lambo doors!
