Door Latches

Hey everyone,
I need some suggestions on door latches. I have suicide doors and I would like some type of latch that is good. I really do not care if I buy them (like Bear Claw) or if they come out of a wrecked car.

Thanks

Hi Shane, check out Balls Kustom, They sell the bear claw latch set, and don`t forget to buy the saftey latch, a must for suicide doors. It`s a sliding pin, They have them in power and mechanical.

Yea,
You can find 'em (suicide safety latches) about anywhere. I priced mine at Southern. Now I have to install them. (fun)

But I'll have better piece of mind going down the road with them installed.

The safety pins should be pretty easy to make. I could just use power door lock actuators and have them slide a pin in. Thanks for the help.
