S C Engineering Land Rover Defender Heavy Duty Security Rear Door Hinges (Version 2) – Lower Door Set

Upgrade your Defender with our Version 2 Heavy Duty Security Rear Door Hinges, designed and manufactured in the UK by S C Engineering. This updated design provides improved clearance around certain wheel carriers while offering a refined, modern appearance.

Unlike anodised hinges, these are finished in Cerakote C Series Graphite Black, making them highly resistant to screen wash, Traffic Film Remover (TFR), and harsh vehicle cleaning chemicals that can damage anodised finishes.

Fits

• All Classic Land Rover Defender models

Premium CNC Machined Construction

Each hinge is precision CNC machined from high-quality 6082 billet aluminium and hand-finished to ensure exceptional quality, fit, and finish.

Advanced Hinge Design

Our hinges have been engineered from the ground up rather than using inexpensive off-the-shelf bushes.

Features include

• Replaceable custom-designed nylon bushes eliminate dissimilar metal contact in the hinge pivot, providing smooth operation with virtually zero play.


• Greaseable design allows fresh grease to flush contaminants from the bushes, helping to maintain smooth operation throughout the hinge's service life.


• The bushes are designed to be hydraulically adjusted using a grease gun. As grease is injected, it acts behind the bushes like a piston, allowing any play to be taken up over time and maintaining a precise hinge fit.


• Hidden grease nipples are only visible when the door is open, preserving a clean, factory-style appearance.


• Enhanced Security

Security has been built into every detail.

• 10mm stainless steel hinge pins.


• Precision-machined dimples allow grub screws to securely lock the pins in place.


• Pins cannot be driven out from outside the vehicle, significantly improving door security.

Superior Thread Strength

The hinges feature M8 roll-formed threads, which are considerably stronger than conventional cut threads, providing maximum strength in aluminium.

Integrated Weather Sealing

Each hinge incorporates precision-machined O-ring seals that:

• Prevent water ingress.


• Eliminate the need for factory paper gaskets.


• Provide a cleaner, more premium installation.

Premium Stainless Steel Fixings

Supplied with high-quality stainless steel Torx pin security bolts rather than standard Torx fasteners, offering increased security and a higher-quality finish.

Cerakote C Series Ceramic Coating

Every hinge is coated in-house using Cerakote C Series, one of the industry's most advanced ceramic coatings.

Unlike anodising, Cerakote offers outstanding resistance to:

• Screen wash.


• Traffic Film Remover (TFR).


• Vehicle cleaning chemicals.


• UV fading.


• Corrosion.


• Wear and abrasion.

This premium coating is trusted by manufacturers including McLaren, Lamborghini, and Bugatti for demanding automotive applications.

Our Cerakote Process

Every component is individually prepared and coated in-house to ensure the highest quality.

The process includes:

• Thorough cleaning.


• Acetone bath.


• Aluminium oxide blast preparation.


• Final air cleaning.


• Professional Cerakote application using a dedicated spray gun within a spray booth.


• Controlled curing process for maximum durability and finish.

Although Cerakote is more labour-intensive and expensive than anodising, it provides a tougher, more durable, and chemically resistant finish with a much wider range of available colours.
