Vertical car doors are very futuristic and flashy. Many people use the vertical doors to improve the appearance of their cars. Some people also use the doors to save space and to allow them to park in smaller spaces. However, there are some hidden dangers to vertical doors that are not present in a regular car door.
Vertical car doors are designed to allow car doors to open without the side movement that normal doors use. They also provide an easier access into a car that is in a tighter spot. It can also be nice to close the doors without having to push or slam the door. Usually the vertical doors are on automatic door gliders that enable the doors to open and close on their own.
A vertical door is often made using the original car door. Kits are sold at many auto supply stores and in online car shops that enable the conversion of a regular door. The door hinges are exchanged for the vertical hinges. The doors can also be replaced with completely different doors as well. Some car doors will not convert from side doors to vertical doors, so it is necessary to purchase new doors to make the switch to vertical doors.
There are two main types of vertical doors. There are vertical doors that swing up around from the side, and there are also vertical doors that open straight up and down like flapping wings. Some car models are better suited to one kind of vertical door over another. In general, the side opening doors are the most popular. This is due to the space saving that it provides, as well as the ease of installation.
Before deciding to get vertical car doors, it is important to consider the value of the car. If the car will ever be resold, it might not be a good idea to switch out the doors. Most people who purchase used cars prefer the standard side door openings. It is also important to consider the cost of repairing the doors if the mechanisms fail in any way.
There are actually more dangers that can occur with a vertical door than with the regular kind of car door. For example, in case of the car rolling onto its roof, the doors would not be able to open. In water or in situations such as the car exploding, this can be very dangerous. The lifting mechanism for the door could go out, and then the doors would not be able to open at all.
