The one side only lock feature is OK when I'm in the country where I don't even bother to take the key out of the ignition but when I lived in the city it was a major hassle. Sliding across the seat isn't an option on an old 1-ton with the shift lever and the parking brake sticking out of the floor. Then I added the brownie and that lever plus my size 12 boots ... well forget it. I put hot-rod door poppers on both sides and now I can lock both sides from the driver's seat and unlock them with the key fob. Much better! If I leave it for an extended time I still lock the passenger side with the key in case the battery runs flat. If you lock the passenger door with the handle, you can't unlock it with the key. Be forewarned.
