After dorking around with the latches a bit, I am tempted to do something which seems like it could be bad.

One thing I hate about the early door locks is the fact that you can't open your door, then lock it with the interior door handle and close the door. When you do, the safety latch "unlocks" the door.

So here's the temptation: cut the safety catch off of the door lock. If I did that I could "lock" the door using the inside door handle and use a solenoid to just unlock the door (or unlock and open depending on how the stroke is set). And if I was feeling a little more safety conscious, I could install a "suicide door" safety pin for when the truck is on the move.

Comments?

Ps. let us all know how the LMC kit works out.

No, I'm not done yet.
