Shaved doors, what # solenoids? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting close to the day that I get rid of the door handles on the Disaster. I've got an idea of how to mount the solenoids and where, but what pound rating do you guys use? I've seen them as low as about 15 and as high as about 60. Any tips?

Also, who makes a nice setup? Is Autoloc as good as anyone or is there a better alternative? Thanks!

On our big old doors I would get at least a 40 lb. Autoloc is good, they are the adjustable ones
