I am figuring on installing bear claw latches, but since I have no door lock on the driver's side anyway and to avoid key scratches if I did I am thinking about installing a remote system which would mean power bear claw latches. I am also looking at the Carolina Custom kit that should allow me to retain the stock door handles.

My question is what is my back up to the remote failing? I don't want any kind of hidden door popper. Will I still be able to use the passenger door lock as a back up with the bear claw latches? That key cylinder has been torn apart so long I don't know how it worked to know if it can be adapted to the bear claw latch. Also any reccomendations for remote systems that will install easily with bear claw latches? An alarm would probably be a plus as well. Thanks!
