Re: Greg's 50 Build
are you upgrading bc of the locking system or the latch system? I haven't used altman but I have made my own door latches that use bearclaw. See pic. I did bolt on bc I already painted my doors. I would honestly just build my own weld them in next time, and you could do the same and save some money. I bought the bearclaw from rockyhinge I think, but they are the usa made ones. However, I didn't utilize my outside handles, I used an actuator to pop the doors open from the outside, kinda like shaved doors.
If you just want the doors to lock you could build a deadbolt system, see pic. Something I made for one of my trucks. Works really well. You can get a keyfob and sender from AVS for like $75 and there you go, both doors will lock with a little time making the deadbolt. I mounted it on the door pillar.
Bearclaws have an L shaped bracket that slides up and down that allows the claw to lock. Reason the DS door wouldn't lock is bc there is no lock cylinder for that side. You could then again build an actuator and a pushrod to run the door locks on one or both of your bearclaws, its same concept as shaved doors. But I was able to get my inside door handles to work and use the acuators, most shaved doors don't allow the use of both.
