As per factory recommendation, I have cut out a 3in. diameter hole in rear
triangle of each door to fit & access the locks. I have made 4in. discs to
cover the holes, held in place with normal AN52510R8 bolts into anchor nuts
in doors around aperture. As Dave says, they can be fitted after latch is
installed or even retrofitted to finished doors.

I don't know how others have done this, but my locks are fitted to the
rear section of the door, and they work by contacting a stop (actually
just a circular clamp) on the push rod. I positioned the lock below the
push rod so that if it fails it will fail in the open position. It means
that a section of the door has to be cut out and reglassed in - it can be
done after the latch mechanism has been installed

In the process of fitting the door latch mechanism. I'm thinking of
lockable
doors as per the factory accessory catalogue. Anyone who has fitted them,
I
was intending to bond the back plate into the door sill tomorrow, I don't
want to do this if fitting the locks will interfere.
Anyone got any advice
