What brand of electric door locks??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mikeys junk · 05-12-2008, 12:01 AM

I wand to add electric door locks to my Suburban. I see then in all price ranges. What brand do the members here consider good enough. I see them as high as $400. I would not mind hearing from the board advertisers as well, what brand do you use/sell.
Thanks
Mike

The link looks like its for the power windows setup which are a easy one to install. I am using a setup from dakota digital for my 67. It will unlock and lock the doors with a remote. It was about 190.00 as I recall.

oops, I misread.
I got my power locks from A1electric too. Theyre a little tricky, but nice.

I put power locks out of a 90's chevy van in my truck. Bought them at a swap meet for $5 for three. They worked really nicely. I just welded an arm to the factory inside unlock/lock rod. Drilled two holes behind the door panel. I later added keyless entry too!
