Electric Door latch ideas

[biohazardbill]

65 Burban.
So I am about to have one of my suicide doors finished and now comes time to start looking into latching ideas. I really like the shaved look. I know I am going to use a bear claw system but unsure of which route to take.



Here are my thoughts, looking for more suggestions.


1. Use remote system. Mount latch to door. Run wires from behind b pillar into door via hardwire or those suburban detachable contacts.
Pros wires hidden, can use stock interior handle to open door
Cons if something electrical fails need to remove b pillar cover which includes spot weld to fix, dont like relying on always having to have remote to open door from outside

2. Use remote system. Mount latch to door. Run wires into door via hardwire or those suburban detachable contacts mounted at the front of the door.
Pros Can use stock interior handle to open door, can use stock interior handle to open door, all electrical now easy accessable
Cons See the contacts when door is open,dont like relying on always having to have remote to open door from outside


3. Mount the latch to the cab, use remote system/push button from inside to open the door. Interior button would be disable based on Neutral Safety Switch logic.

Pros seems super clean, no visible wires.
Cons no easy manual way to open door in case of accident or electrical issue

So what are some other ideas suggestions.

I have seen others with cable operated levers outside, which can look pretty cool, but those trucks I also didnt see any way to lock the truck
