Yeah, so the kit was designed to grab the OE inside door lock rod that sticks out through the inside of the door. The pull rod you pull and push to manually lock/unlock the door from inside the cab. See picture below.

Instead of using that method, I relocated it over to the "key" door lock side of the arm because that side of the arm is the "long" side of the arm from the pivot stud making it a lot easier to pivot the lock back and forth.
