Aftermarket central locking & front door locks..

[phibbzy]

Does anyone know how to circumvent the accidental lock provision that I have on my '95 110? I have to press the button on the handle and push the lock down which is all well and good until you introduce a central locking actuator into the scheme of things.

The rod I want to attach it too will not move when the button is not depressed...

I see others have had great success with this but hear no mention of the button mechanism getting in the way :confused::confused:

Am I missing something obvious?

Hi
I have just fitted remote central locking to my 96 130, the button issue is only a problem when the door is open, when the door is closed it all works fine.
And while fitting I just operated the lock mechanism with a screwdriver to simulate the door being closed, just need to release by pulling on the inner handle.

Hope that helps

Ah geez! :D

Thanks Philandmickey. I'm now bashing my head on the desk because one of the issues I have is hitting the lock while driving with my elbow...

Occam's Razor springs to mind!
