Vertical Doors, Inc. · Prototype Program

Help Develop the Next Vertical Door Kit

We are looking for select vehicles for prototype development and test fitting at our Lake Elsinore, California facility. Your vehicle could help us evaluate a future vehicle-specific Vertical Door Conversion Kit.

Contact us before purchasing a kit or arranging transportation. Our team must confirm that your exact year, body style, and configuration are still needed.

Active Prototype Requests

Vehicles We Are Looking For

These vehicles are requested for evaluation and prototype development. A listing does not mean a kit is currently available or that a production kit is guaranteed.

Prototype Vehicle Wanted

2024 and Newer Dodge Charger

STLA Large generation

We are interested in evaluating the new Charger generation, including the Charger Daytona and 2026 Charger SIXPACK. Two-door and four-door configurations may require separate evaluations.

Before You Apply

Prototype Vehicle Requirements

Plan for Approximately 3–4 Weeks

If accepted, your vehicle must remain at our Lake Elsinore, California facility for the required development period. Timing and terms must be confirmed before your appointment.

Do not deliver your vehicle without a confirmed appointment and written authorization from Vertical Doors, Inc.

  • Your exact year, make, model, trim, and body style must match an application our team confirms is needed.
  • Factory door hinges must be concealed inside the fender and door jamb.
  • The vehicle must have no major collision damage or structural repairs around the doors, hinges, fenders, or A-pillars.
  • Disclose aftermarket fenders, widebody panels, previous door modifications, and other nearby changes before scheduling.
  • You must arrange vehicle delivery, pickup, and your own transportation during development.
  • Final eligibility depends on review and inspection by Vertical Doors, Inc.
Can every vehicle be converted to vertical doors?

No. The vehicle needs a suitable concealed factory hinge area inside the fender and door jamb. Our team must evaluate whether a vehicle-specific conversion hinge can be designed and mounted while retaining the original door.

What photos and information should I provide?

Include your exact year, make, model, trim, body style, powertrain, and location. Provide clear photos of the vehicle, door jamb, factory hinges, and front fender area, plus details of any modifications or previous repairs.

Photos support preliminary screening. They do not replace a physical inspection.

What needs to be confirmed before work begins?

Pricing, estimated completion time, delivery and pickup arrangements, and vehicle-specific prototype terms must be reviewed with the owner before work begins. An in-person inspection may be required before feasibility can be confirmed.

Development time and costs depend on the vehicle’s construction, hinge location, body style, trim, condition, modifications, and engineering requirements.

Any special offer or installation arrangement must be confirmed by Vertical Doors, Inc. before scheduling.

Does submitting my vehicle guarantee acceptance?

No. Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance. Evaluating or completing a prototype also does not guarantee a production kit or release date.

Required Prototype Acknowledgement

I understand that prototype development normally takes approximately three to four weeks. If my vehicle is accepted, it must be delivered to and remain at Vertical Doors, Inc. in Lake Elsinore, California, for the required development period. I understand that additional inspection may be required before Vertical Doors, Inc. can confirm feasibility, pricing, timing, or acceptance. Submitting this request does not guarantee that my vehicle will be accepted or that a production kit will be released.
