6mm Stainless steel door pins, with 4 machined dimples so grub screws lock into place. There is also 2 holes drilled though each pin as well. The security screw goes though the pin, and secure security caps in place. That means nothing can be undone, when door is closed from outside of vehicle. The door pins can’t be knocked out either due to design. It was not easy to fit all the features into a small part.
The main bolts, that hold the doors to bulkhead, are hidden behind the security caps. These cannot be removed, when the doors are closed. There also tricky to remove once fitted, but that’s the idea. They give a nice clean stockish look. Making your doors much safer. You will never be able to stop someone taking your doors, but slowing them up is the plan. Having no access to bolts, and blanking caps that can be undone from front. This helps the security of the hinge. There are extra things that can be done to these security hinges, which I shall not speak about, on here as their security products.
The mirror holes are recessed into the hinge body. Looks so much cleaner as there’s no bolts sticking out. Also stops bolts rubbing against paintwork
The hinge has a grease nipple machined into them. This helps the hinge in smoothness of movement. Also Helps with making the part last, as all high-end objects use grease to increase life. Also gives a barrier between the stainless steel and the aluminium. It also makes the hinge quite in operation as its lubricated. I have managed not to have grease nipples on show, unless the door is opened, as this would spoil the look.
The hinges are M8 roll tapped for strength. This is a formed thread not cut with a tap. Its many times stronger doing this in aluminium.
All the doors I have fitted, and tests I have done, have not needed shims to aline doors. That is why there is O-ring seals built into base of hinge. This stops any leaks and helps with high end look. You don’t have to use the stock gaskets, which spoil the look of your defender. Also make fitting them much simpler.
The hinge is Cerakote in a ceramic coating. This is a high-end coating to help product last. You won’t have to worry about washing your defender or using screen wash. You can use Traffic Film Remover and not worry who washes your Land Rover by using Cerakote coatings.
Every part that is Cerakoted is done in house to ensure quality. It has to be cleaned first. Then it has to be blasted with aluminium oxide. This takes any flaws out of part. Its then blowed down. I then spray the part with a special Cerakote spray gun in a spray booth. Then the parts are left to go hard and flatten. It’s a very thin coating which is used on many high-end products, like firearms but it’s not cheap.
We use Cerakote C series ceramic coatings. Much better than anodising, don’t have to worry about chemicals. It’s a way more expensive coating to anodising due to the prep and time it takes to do. It’s also hard wearing being a ceramic and non-stick. Not limited by anodising colours. Worth researching the coating to see what you think. Some info about coating from their website.
