Question Shaving Door Handles

Is there a way to shave the door handles but still open the door with the key?Can a rod be moved inside to do this. I like the smooth look but really can't afford the servo setup right now,(maybe later). Anybody got any ideas????
I do have power door locks already....Jim

I'm assuming you don't have an alarm? any 2 channel alarm will work to open the latch with an inexpensive ($5) actuator.

Could you show me a picture of a Lacht? hehehehehe

Yes plenty of people have done the mod where the handle is gone and they used the keyhole to open the door...but I would be worried about snapping keys
