I can finally close the doors on my ‘54

I replaced the original latches with the new Altman latch and it works great. Pretty easy install. The directions could have been a “little” easier to follow but still worked great.

Great Product

We used these latches on a 50 chevy coupe because the doors are a similar size and shape. Coupled with a custom door handle they worked perfect with minimal fabrication to the latch kit. The latches work like butter and we were able to use the majority of the kit on the car. We ordered a second set as soon as these were installed. These will become a standard at our shop.

Short screws

This is a very quality product, however the screws for the inside handles are too short for the provided locknut to do any good .I also had to cut the corner off outside button striker on the latch assembly to clear top bolts so the outside button would work. I don't know if this is because the template leaves some room for installer error or by design. My right hand door ,I had to drill a new hole in inside handle rod because it was between the provided holes.
