I'm in search for a suicide door kit for my '48. I am looking for quality and long lasting durability. I have checked out various kits online like fbimini.com and streetdreamsbyross.com. I would like your opinions on who makes the BEST suicide hinge kits and why. Thank you!

Looked at Hagen ??

 

Nope but i will! Thanks!

 

I bought mine here; http://www.customcarpartsandaccessor...dedoorhingekit

$169 for the whole kit. Hinges, bear claw latches, Install kit. Best price and good quality.

 

I agree, very nice price!!

 

I was also interested in the Hagen hinges; but mounted as standard fron post install. Anyone used these in 48-50 F1?

Ya i'm hearing alot about Hagan Streetrods...anyone used these hinges?

 

I know the price for the other kits is really good but suicidedoors.com does not build anything cheap. I have bought many parts from them for my 50 F-1 and have always been pleased. I have not bought the door hinges because I like mine stock but I will buy from them for my wifes 49 Buick.

 

Try This for the 50F1 install;
Autoloc suicide hinge install in F1 - THE H.A.M.B.

 

I have bought a few things from suicidedoors.com myself. I would have to agree they put quality in their work. I would still like everyone elses opinion on who they think make the strongest and durable hinge kits. Thanks!

 

Hi have you heard of hagen

 

Nobody builds a stronger hinge than Thorbecke at suicide doors. What makes his hinges even better is the way that they are installed using an alignment rod to insure that both hinges remain on plane throughout the installation. These hinges were chosen for use on a vehicle on the TV show "Trucks!", you might be able to find a copy of the show on the internet if you wanted to watch the installation and commentary.
BTW - I bought these hinges for my 56 and I am also running a Thorbecke 4-link triangulated rear suspension setup that Jason built to my specs. Once you have any of his products in your hands you will see very quickly why they are so good. No fancy plating or bling, just strong metal.

 

That is just an autoloc kit, and the hinge box is too big! man the box is bigger then my jam (1950 f200). Then i got this set in and let me tell you they are nice. (already squared up too) Just the right size also.

 

this set is build the same way and alot less!! I have them in hand and love them. Here is the main website to them. Williams Street Rods - Home of the Bad to the Bone Street Rods - Home

 

I couldn't find them anywhere on their home page or online store.
