Door access systems

Our wide range of exterior door handles is the result of decades of experience and innovation. Excellence and progress in the field of vehicle access is firmly anchored in the WITTE DNA. We set benchmarks in quality and reliability and work continuously to exceed the highest standards. Rely on us as your competent partner for pioneering solutions for the vehicle access of tomorrow and beyond.

Classic handles

A WITTE handle is characterized by the highest precision and quality appearance. Our mechanical bow handles have been tried and tested for decades and meet the high demands of our global customers. The classic WITTE handles are not only characterized by a perfect paint finish - there is also sophisticated technical know-how inside the bearing bracket. Electronic components, such as keyless entry or illumination, as well as integrated sensors, can make the handles multifunctional and offer the end customer many convenient functions.

Pocket handles

Our recessed handles are an alternative to classic bow handles. We can integrate various sensors into the handle to implement different opening scenarios. The most common variants are solutions with a capacitive or metal over capacity (MoC) sensor. Digital access solutions can also be implemented. Of course, all recessed handles have an emergency mechanism and can be folded upwards by applying force. 

New design handles

With the New design handle, we are developing a particularly small and attractively designed external door handle that is characterized above all by its very small installation space in the door. Among other things, this also offers advantages in terms of weight reduction. The New design handle functions completely electrically and therefore has no mechanical redundancies. There are various unlocking and locking scenarios for the New design handle. Depending on the integrated sensor, vehicle access is possible by touch or digital vehicle keys.

Flush door handles

Our flush-mounted exterior door handles, which are seamlessly integrated into the vehicle design, are a particularly elegant and functional solution. Depending on individual customer requirements, we supply the handles as foldable or extendable variants. All exterior door handles can be combined with electric or mechanical locks and offer a variety of secure options for locking and unlocking the vehicle.

Our flush-mounted exterior door handles are all equipped with a mechanical emergency release and therefore meet the highest security standards.

Pillar solutions

With the B- & C-pillar solutions, WITTE is already offering an access option of the future. This innovative component replaces the traditional door handles, giving the design greater freedom. The operating units can be integrated into both the B-pillar and the C-pillar. A wide variety of sensors and automated actuators work together to provide access to the vehicle so that the doors can be operated completely without traditional handles.
The B-Pillar solution from WITTE integrates modern and diverse sensor technology that is tailored to the needs of today's market.
Our systems are flexibly adapted to specific customer requirements and implement a wide range of options thanks to the large number of different sensors, antennas or authorization management, etc. 

 

WITTE pillar solutions: state-of-the-art vehicle access for maximum convenience

  • Innovative sensor technology: thanks to the flexible options for integrating different sensors, the system can be customized to meet individual customer requirements
  • Feedback: The system gives users several reliable haptic or visual feedbacks for maximum comfort
  • AI-controlled software: Intelligent software guarantees safe filtering of environmental influences

Power sliding doors

For Power Sliding Doors, WITTE supplies the complete system for the side door drives. This is a combination of a mechanical-electrical side door drive and the corresponding ECU as the interface between the vehicle and the drive. 

Depending on customer requirements, these systems can be equipped with different access systems such as passive entry. If the aim is to make operation intuitive and convenient, sensors are used.  There is a clear trend towards gesture control. In general, the Power Sliding Door can of course still be fitted with a classic bow handle.
