We build tooling for the housings and mechanism components that make up automotive door latch and latch actuator assemblies. These parts combine precise gear and pivot geometry with housings that must seal and protect the mechanism inside.
Integrated housings combining electrical actuation and latch mechanism components in a single mold.
Internal gear and pivot parts requiring tight tolerance and consistent wear behavior.
Cover components that protect the mechanism from moisture and debris inside the door.
Accurate tooling for internal gear teeth and pivot points that drive the latch mechanism.
Parting line and shutoff design that supports moisture and debris protection.
Rib and wall design for housings that carry sustained mechanical load.
Tooling that holds tight tolerance across thousands of latch cycles.
Tooling is designed around the wear resistance and structural strength each latch component requires.
Design for manufacturability review of latch geometry, wall sections, and mechanism features.
Cavity layout, gear and pivot tooling, and cooling design for the latch components.
Precision machining and fitting of mold components and gear-forming inserts.
Mold trial sampling with dimensional and first article inspection reporting.
Yes. We design tooling for housings that combine the electrical actuation and latch mechanism in a single molded part, coordinating gear, pivot, and cover geometry within the mold set.
Most latch tooling is built for POM, PA66-GF, PBT, and PA6, depending on the wear and structural requirements of the specific component.
Yes, we design insert molding tooling for metal pivots, shafts, and similar components that need to be molded directly into the plastic housing.
Our scope on this program is mold design and build. Production molding is typically run by the customer or their contracted molder.
We support mold trials, first article inspection, and optional CPK studies. Full PPAP submission is generally managed by the injection molder or production supplier.
