Description
Are you tired of slamming the doors on your 1952-1954 Chevy Truck? The Altman Easy Latch system is the complete, vehicle-specific solution to upgrade your classic from outdated factory hardware to the safety and smooth operation of modern bear jaw rotary claw latches.
This kit ensures your truck's doors open and close smoothly and safely, matching the quality of the rest of your build.
Key Features and Performance
Vehicle-Specific Bolt-On: This is a true, vehicle-specific kit—not a universal application. It requires no welding and bolts directly into your 1952-1954 Chevy Truck cab.
Modern Bear Jaw Security: The rotary claw latches are case hardened and black oxide coated for maximum strength and safety, providing a secure latching system superior to stock.
Contoured for OEM Fit: Features contoured jam plates designed to match your truck's doors, along with precision-engineered components that work perfectly with your original exterior handles, interior handles, and exterior door lock cylinders.
Built for Durability: Each piece is zinc plated to fight corrosion, and internal claws are case hardened. All kits are designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
Shaved Handle Ready: Also available and fully compatible for those pursuing a shaved exterior handle application.
What's Included in the Complete Kit:
This kit provides everything you need for a two-door conversion:
Vehicle-specific bear jaw rotary claw latches
Contoured latch plates and striker plates
Stainless steel striker bolts
2 new interior straps (run from the interior handle to the new latch)
I am pleased with the everything that goes on the door. The striker plate will require some change, because I don't want to drill a hole in the body. So far I think everything will turn out better than the stock door latch. Thank You.
