Get your lambo doors for the best in the industry, Vertical Doors, Inc.
Lambo doors, also known as vertical doors, scissor doors, butterfly doors or wing doors, are a type of car door that rotate vertically upward instead of swinging outward like traditional car doors. This door style was popularized by Lamborghini, particularly the Lamborghini Countach, which is why they're commonly referred to as “Lambo doors.”
How Lambo Doors Work:
Lambo doors are installed using a custom hinge mechanism that replaces the factory door hinges. These kits typically allow the door to open outward slightly (to clear the frame), and then swing upward at a vertical angle. Kits from manufacturers like Vertical Doors, Inc. (VDI) are specifically engineered for each vehicle model to ensure fitment and structural integrity.

🛠️ Installation Instructions (Basic Overview):
BASIC GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Disconnect the battery.
2) Remove the fender
3) Make sure to remove door catch if equipped.
4) Usually, you will need to more wire slack: You may need to remove the door panel or kick plate. Cut the factory wire boot in half and add wire loom to protect exposed wires.
Do not cut and extend the wires unless you have no other choice.
Use 2” painters’ tape to mark the factory door location on the vertical and horizontal planes. Also measure the distance between the apron and front edge of the door by the top and bottom hinge.
5) Close the door and use 2" painters’ tape to secure the door to the body of the car.
6) Install the new Lambo Door kit, make sure you have a flat surface, if not you may need to modify your apron.
7) Make fine tuning adjustments and make sure all pivot points are greased. Install the shock.
***DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS ON THE BODY OR SHAFT OF THE SHOCK***
Don’t forget to use thread locker on the shock bolt
Note: Do not install the fender until the door is adjusted perfectly.
9) Cut the inner lip of your fender to make room for the Vertical Door Hinge. Note: Cut only enough for the hinge to move freely. After cutting the fender, use a sander to smooth out the cut. Use touch=up paint to protect the exposed material and give it a finished look.
Close the door and reinstall the Fender.
