1. Doors
Car doors are the movable panels on the sides of a vehicle that provide entry and exit for passengers and drivers. They also offer safety, security, and convenience, housing important features like locks, windows, and side mirrors.
- Most car doors have reinforced side-impact beams.
- Airbags may be integrated into doors in some vehicles.
- Central locking system allows you to lock/unlock all doors at once.
- Child locks prevent kids from opening doors from inside.
- Types of Car Doors:
- Front doors – for the driver and front passenger.
- Rear doors – for backseat passengers (in 4-door vehicles).
- Hatchback/liftgate – rear door that opens upward for cargo access.
- Sliding doors – common on vans and some SUVs for easy rear access.
- Suicide doors – rear-hinged doors that open backward (rare, used in luxury/classic cars).
- Gull-wing/scissor doors – open upward, usually seen in sports or exotic cars.
