no need to lock 'em, ther are no handels so you can't open it from the outside. the only way to open it is through the use of a selanoid that unlatches it and then a spring pops the door open. If your battery dies, you have to crawl through the hatch. As for body work, fill in the divot and holes created by the door handle and lock

Unless you weld a piece of steel inside the door, bad guys can still slim jim your door open.

Not that I would know anything about that.

Ummmm... Well, let's go over it one more time...

86ZRICHIE said "no need to lock 'em, ther are no handels so you can't open it from the outside. the only way to open it is through the use of a selanoid that unlatches it "

then fast says, "wouldent that make it easy to brake into a car with shaved handles."

when AcSeb replies, "Um....no, how are they going to open the doors without breaking the windows first?"

So I says, "bad guys can still slim jim your door open." ...meaning without handles and even without breaking your windows.

I guess you were just stating the obvious, Hulk? Was that your point?? "Not that I would know anything about that" was a sarcastic poke because I have shaved door handles, I have the metal welded in there, and this topic has been covered in great detail in the past. A simple search on "shave" would have turned up a great deal of info and even pictures on it. I didn't want anyone thinking that without some other precautions their car was "un-break-in-able." Enjoy.
