Looking for recommendations for a keyless entry (power lock/unlock of doors) for the 52/53 3100's that use a pushbutton handle and Altman bear claw latches. As an example, I called a1 electric for their W01-TW-Key product and the told me that their products do not work with the pushbutton handles of the 52/53's. I then noted Trique (manufacturers of Altman latches) to see if they had any insight. This is what they had to say "Our lock mechanism on the AEL-CT5254 is designed to be operated up and down. Therefore you will likely want to mount the lock actuator low in the door and run a rod up to the lock mechanism. We do not have specific instructions for this, we just provide a locking mechanism to give some customers the option." I just do not understand (yet) whether once you install Altman latches, whether the push-button handles have anything to do with the locking of the doors, since I would not have a locking cylinder in the handles themselves. Hoping someone in the Stovebolt world might have sympathy on my ignorance and enlighten me on this topic. For all I know, the a1 electric solution might work when using the Altman latches... maybe that bypasses the issue with the pushbutton handles? Thanks in advance for any insight you might share on this topic.
