Door Handles

Donnelly is one of the largest door handle suppliers in North America. From manufacturing facilities in Newaygo and Grand Haven, Michigan, the company produces nearly eight million door handles each year for major automakers including Ford, Honda and Mazda.

As Donnelly's newest product line, door handles represent a great opportunity for growth. Currently, Donnelly produces custom interior and exterior door handles, window cranks and trunk release handles. The company also offers special features like illuminated door handles, chrome-plated plastic handles, strap and paddle type, and its own key pad. Donnelly uses state-of-the-art finite element analysis to enhance product design and testing.

With Donnelly's roll-up glass, door handle, exterior mirror and world-class painting capabilities, the company is positioned to develop into a door systems integrator. The ability to ship door handles and exterior mirrors in painted and in-line vehicle sequenced "door sets" ensures the color-matching of the exterior door ornamentation and provides additional benefits to automakers.

Donnelly is the only company that can supply both outside mirrors and door handles-which results in a significant competitive advantage in meeting customer needs.
