When you think about car safety, the first things that probably come to mind are airbags, seatbelts, and anti-lock brakes. However, there’s another critical component of your vehicle that quietly plays a powerful role in protecting you and your passengers: the automotive door frame.
At Aisin Canada, we specialize in manufacturing precision-engineered door frames for leading automotive brands, including Toyota and Lexus. These parts may seem simple, but they’re complex pieces of structural engineering that enhance both safety and performance.
What Makes Door Frames So Important?
The door frame is the structural backbone of your vehicle’s side body. It contributes significantly to the overall rigidity and crashworthiness of the vehicle. In the event of a side-impact collision, the door frame acts as a first line of defense—helping to absorb and redirect energy away from the passenger cabin.
In addition to their safety role, well-designed door frames also:
- Reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in the cabin
- Support weather sealing and insulation
- Enable seamless operation of windows, locks, and other electronics
Manufacturing With Precision
At our Stratford facility, each door frame is fabricated with millimeter-level accuracy using high-strength steel and state-of-the-art welding techniques. Quality control measures are in place at every step to ensure that every piece meets Aisin’s global standards.
Our work isn’t just about manufacturing parts—it’s about ensuring that when families hit the road, they’re protected by components that exceed expectations.
