    Door solenoids

    My Chevy Suburban (1950) has no door locks but obviously I need to lock it
    The doors have been butchered in the past and after a lot of work I have them looking and latching way better than they did when I bought the wagon (Altman latches now fitted)

    Can anyone recommend a decent set of solenoids that I can fit and then losse the worry of leaving it unlocked all the time

    Need kit for the two front doors and the barn doors at the back

    Anyone have a set for sale?
    Anyone going to the Nats and can show me their set up?

    Thank you
    Paul

    Been looking at the Autoloc kits from Summit
    I asked on here as like to hear peoples opinions before spending my hard earned
    Also never had the need for something like this before so recommendations always a bonus

    Got a mate who regulary ships over from the US and I can always have a bit of space in the container so thats not a worry

    Think Im going to have to work from the B pillar into the door itself but not entirely sure yet

    Small round solenoids (45lb pull) should do the trick but i need to do a bit more research hence my question on here to see if anyone has already done it

    I've seen one set up where it was no more than the solinoid rod coming from the B pillar into the rear of the door... simple and effective !
