      Remote door openers

      For those of you out there with shaved door handles, what brand/manufacturer did you go with to open your doors?
      Thanks!
      John

      John,
      The last system I installed was about 3 yrs ago on my 67 Nova (sold shortly afterwards ) was made by Dakota Digital. It was pretty easy to install good explanation on directions and the company was very helpful with a couple of questions I had at the time. There are several companies putting these out now but I have only used D/D stuff and was happy with it. Just my experience

      HzEmall, I was just wondering why you said to stay away from Auto Loc shaved door kits? Have you ran into problems with these in the past? I was just looking to buy a shaved door handle kit and I have been looking at their products. I am not doubting you, simply just curious. Thanks

      It's just cheap junk.....

      It's kinda funny, their site shows which ones to NOT buy, which happens to be the one with a rubber boot on them to protect them from filling up with water........I have 4 of the autoloc ones here that I am re & reing for the Spal ones because they were filled up with water and rusted.

      I didn't install them the first time, but I get to fix them.......

      The only thing I have ever used from the Hoffman group that is a decent product is their linear acutator controllers.

      The rest of it is cheap off shore cheap ass pot metal products..........

      Their hinge kits break all the time........

      I just stay away from all of their products.....
