Manufacturing
Each ECD kit starts out as an AutoCAD design in one of our many software applications. Our engineers use only the latest advancements in 3D modeling techniques to ensure stress is evenly distributed across the ECD hinge to allow for a lifetime of enjoyment. Once the design aspect of the ECD kit is complete a sheet on high strength, low weight, heat treated 100XF DOMEX steel is cut using laser cutting and metal stamping techniques to manufacture each ECD hinge. Robotic welding is used to ensure proper welds that last the test of time and provide an esthetically pleasing end product. Each ECD kit is put thorough a series of strength and pressure tests to ensure standards are met.

About Us
Engineered using leading edge technologies and superior development methods.

The ECD lineup has been sold worldwide and has been recognized as an industry standard.

The ECD kit stands alone with regards to price, quality and ease of installation. Each ECD kit offers both vertical and horizontal adjustment points right on the hinge mechanism; this avoids timely readjustments. An industry first!

The ECD hinge will allow your door to open both normally and vertically. The ECD kit is fully adjustable to open to 120 degrees vertically.

Backed by a lifetime warranty. We stand behind our product for the lifetime of ownership.

Don't be fooled by cheap imitation kits or those who promise difference without delivering proof.

The ECD kit is designed and engineered to be the first kit on the market to be fully integrated and offer true universal application. We pride ourselves by allowing our designs to fit many vehicles, not just a few. Our product line is so expansive that we have not seen a vehicle that the ECD hinge could not be installed on. The key to it all is the first patented design of its kind. The genius of the ECD patent lies in the lower hinge flange. It is fully adjustable horizontally, laterally, and vertically to allow for perfect fitment every time. Don't be fooled by those who promise a bolt on kit and claim that "you'll notice the difference as soon as you open the box" but deliver nothing more than a cheap universal kit. Each ECD kit is designed to line up perfectly with your OEM bolt holes to allow for perfect bolt on fitment every time. We guarantee this by offering ECD template technology in every kit we sell. The ECD template technology will allow verification of OEM bolt patterns that match your kit's flanges. This technology ensures that your kit will bolt up perfectly every time. In some automotive applications the ECD kit can be installed as a weld on application as well.

The ECD kit includes two high powered gas lift supports. Each gas lift support is rated between 650 and 1100lbs. The proper pound rating is applied to the vehicle's door weight to allow for effortless operation of the ECD motion. Combine that with the seamless design of the ECD hinge and you've got a kit that can be used for everyday service, not just the local car shows.

But if it's bragging rights you're after, the ECD kit is the finishing touch to give your car that edge. We've been well represent in such venues as SEMA, VIP Auto, and Import Nights to Name a Few.

Each ECD kit comes set from the factory to allow for 85 degrees of vertical travel. Your ECD kit will allow for both normal and vertical motion of the door. If it's off to the market and you need a quick getaway, simply open your door horizontally as you currently do and you're on your way. Should you decide to "show off" a bit the ECD kit will provide jaw dropping results once your doors become vertical.
 
 
Each ECD kit is guaranteed by a lifetime replacement warranty against structural failure. The gas lift supports are guaranteed for a period of 6 months by the manufacturer's warranty. We offer replacement gas lift supports to our existing customers at our cost for the lifetime of ownership.
