I bought an aftermarket kit for my Chev - it was a piece of cake to install.

Have you tried to fit one to a Morrie?

I must have fitted about 60 kits

Nearly impossible

That's what I thought too.
I don't know how you'd get a 2 door to lock as I haven't looked too closely but the drivers door lock is enclosed in the latch itself, isn't it?

The forces used to operate the 4 door locks would be too great for the modern type solenoids also.

But, it has been done:

Hi, Yes ive seen that on the mmoc site but it wont work.

The relay bar has a slot in it at the lock end so while that setup will stop the rod moving, the lock still works as per normal.

The only way that I can see it working is if I get rid of the slot in the arm.

side effects of that will be that when ever the outside handle is moved, the in side one will move too. Not really a problem other that the effort to open the door will be harder as you will be moving double the amount of equipment. ie when opening the door from the outside, the inner door handle will work and vise a versa for the inner door handle

I hope you can understand what I am talking about

Yes the dead bolt will work. You wont need the sliding switch.

did you ever end up fitting central locking to your car?

I was thinking the dead bolt would be good.. a bit of a shame to drill into the pillar though but oh well! if only they had prices on their site!

Upon conducting some more research I found some awesome products from the states that would suit our purposes!

I got a reply back from the wolf bolt people.. the system looks good! the beauty of it is is that you can mount the solenoid thingamo away from the door pillar giving you placement flexibility





for the 2 door kit it's AUD$210 and they don't recommend installing in front doors due to the fact that if the battery dies you can't get in.. but in most systems you wouldn't be able to anyway! (i think they're just covering their bases)

on a normal central lock you can still unlock the door with a key, I think you will find this is a requirement by law,

if you could hook the key up to an electronic switch, you could get around that

either that, or put an unlock button in the boot, so you could unlock the boot with the key and unlock the car.

this is what i did with my mazda when i put central locking in, didnt quite get around to taking both the door locks off tho. did the passenger side.

i only did this because someone thaught it would be funny to break into my car every couple of months by breaking open the door lock... figuring out they couldnt get in that way... then ripped it out of the door... much damage Mad

shaved door handles are OK, there is nothing to say you need to be able to get in, the legal issue is getting out, there must be a mechanical release inside.

i was thinking more along the lines of using a switch with the interior door handle attached. or i guess you could do it with a cable piggy backed to the bolt, that would work too, and it frees up the inside of the door for power windows...

biggest problem is the original minor locks have to much load on them to work with available key less entry solenoids, some type of lever set up to reduce the load is what is needed if you want to run the standard lock and catch set up.

I went with bear catches which work well with solenoids
