47-55.1 Bear Claw latches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**8man** · 04-22-2019, 05:17 PM

I installed Bear Claw latches in the 54, and I added electric door locks so when I add the alarm it will all work together.

Now that I've been sidelined, I've had a lot of time to think. Here is the issue. The outside handles lock independently of the latches. The inside latch will not lock the Bear Claws. If I lock them electronically and the battery goes dead, I won't be able to unlock them without breaking a window and tearing into a door.

Has anyone solved this dilemma?

I like the latches and they work great, but I don't want to get locked out.
