Here are some pictures of the lock and window install. My biggest tip is do not use the wire that they supplied you with and use good quality wire.

Where did you get the heavy duty lock wires and clips from? What size (or part number) do you recommend?

Is the little electrical box only for the door locks? Can I replace it with an alarm?

Thanks......love the work you have done.

Are you referring to the electrical lock wires or the the connecting rods?
The clip is from a variety pack of door lock clips from the local parts store or Amazon.
you may have to drill the original metal a little larger to accommodate the new clips.

I was testing the motorcycle hoist. It will ride in this position after I fabricate a mount for it.
There is a hatch in the back porch roof above the motorcycle. You can see the steps in front of the motorcycle. The porch roof will also be a seating/ standing platform.

Sorry I’ve been keeping in the dark for the last year. I’ve been under a hard deadline to get the exterior mostly done, because I was losing the shop I had available free of rent. I’ll be finishing the interior in my driveway. The first picture I posted was it in my driveway.
