Thumbs up Electric Locks

I just got done installing Electric door locks from A1 and what
a great improvement. It is soooo nice to not have to use the key or reach over to unlock the passenger door!!

After finding out where to locate the actuators it was a piece of cake. I removed the manual door buttons, and am filling the hole left over with LED's that blink when the truck is locked..

I recommend this upgrade to all, and A1 is a great product with excellent tech support!!

Yes indeed! I'd like to install electic actuators for my doors so that I can have remote locking.

Can you choose to keep your manual door lock buttons and still use this system?

Here is a link to their site. http://www.a1electric.com/mes.htm

I can take a photo or two, but not until Monday.
I am going out of town, but would be more than
happy to post a few photos to show where I
mounted the actuators when I get back Monday.

Yes you still can leave the manual knobs, but I
chose not to so you would have to mount your
actuators a little different. I sure love it though,
life is easier. Now I just need the power windows
and I'll be set!!!
