Custom Hinge Design
Application-specific hinge engineering for EV frunks and deck lids, tailored to motion arc, packaging constraints, torque targets, durability requirements, and OEM cost objectives.
Mansfield Engineered Components designs and manufactures custom EV frunk hinges and deck lid hinges for OEM programs that demand precise motion, reliable lift assist, and scalable production. From concept engineering to validated prototypes and full-volume manufacturing, our Ohio team helps automotive programs improve fit, feel, durability, and supply chain confidence.

Custom-engineered hinge solutions for EV access systems, from design validation through scalable OEM production.
Application-specific hinge engineering for EV frunks and deck lids, tailored to motion arc, packaging constraints, torque targets, durability requirements, and OEM cost objectives.
Engineered lift-assist and counterbalance mechanisms that reduce opening effort, improve hold-open performance, and support safer, smoother operation for front trunks and rear deck lids.
In-house prototyping and testing to verify cycle life, force curves, motion feel, and fit before tooling release, helping OEM teams reduce development risk.
Automotive-focused hinge manufacturing for deck lids, hoods, tonneau covers, and related access components requiring repeatable quality across OEM production programs.
Precision stamping, fabrication, spring manufacturing, and assembly capabilities that support durable hinge components in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty materials.
Single-source support from concept through tooling, production, inspection, packaging, and delivery to simplify sourcing and improve accountability across the program lifecycle.

We start by evaluating the EV frunk or deck lid application, including panel weight, geometry, motion path, packaging envelope, target feel, and production goals so the hinge system is engineered around real vehicle requirements.
Supporting demanding hinge and motion control programs with proven engineering and scalable manufacturing.
OEM teams rely on Mansfield for custom hinge engineering, responsive support, and dependable production execution.
Operating since 1939, with decades of hinge and motion control expertise across demanding OEM applications.
Every program is engineered to application requirements, not forced into a standard catalog part.
In-house prototyping and testing help verify performance before tooling and full production begin.
From 5,000 to 5,000,000+ parts, we support reliable releases with strategic inventory and on-time delivery.
Experienced leaders behind every engineered hinge program.
Mansfield Engineered Components has been solving complex motion control challenges since 1939. Headquartered in Mansfield, Ohio, the company evolved from a family-owned metal finishing business into a trusted engineering and manufacturing partner for OEMs across automotive, appliance, medical, and industrial markets. Today, our team of more than 200 design and manufacturing professionals supports custom programs from concept through production, combining in-house prototyping, tooling support, stamping, assembly, and delivery. That long history gives customers practical design insight, responsive communication, and dependable execution. As part of the Sabaf Group since 2023, Mansfield continues to pair local manufacturing discipline with broader global capability while staying focused on integrity, accountability, and customer satisfaction.
DTC is a separate hinge brand, so manufacturing origin can vary by product line and sourcing model. For OEM buyers evaluating supply options, the better question is whether the supplier can document manufacturing location, quality controls, engineering support, and production capacity. Mansfield Engineered Components manufactures in Mansfield, Ohio and supports global OEM delivery from its U.S. operation.
