Is thier a safety reason why you can't add a bypass button for jams the keeps the chamber door open? I did and it works great on a Powermatic ll

No. You have to turn the knob or use the key to latch the pins. It's seems to be a very secure locking method. The jamb can't be spread apart to bypass a typical deadbolt.

I bought this unit a few years ago and installed. I didn't have the range issues like other users here. Make sure you route the antenna as high up under the dash as possible. (The antenna is a thin wire, like the others.) Back to your question, however, you mentioned that your car did NOT come with remote door locks. I'm assuming it does have power locks. If so, this unit will work great. Bulldog even sells harness kits if you don't feel comfortable cutting, splicing, and soldering ignition wires under your dashboard.

I am not sure, but my guess would be that it would get too hot in the chamber if there was a door. I am new at operating mine, but the problem I have had is that it gets very hot in there! Good luck!

I had the same problem...it is the poorly designed side latches....some times it would work and most times it wouldn't...cut your losses and send it back and get another brand....you will hate this machine if you keep it or not even use it since it is such a hassle.

If you have a "chip"in the key, you'll need a bypass module. If your car starts with a plain metal key (or a cheap copy) then you don't have a chipped key (I don't think yours has one). As far as connecting to factory electric door locks, this will work perfectly (and seemlessly) with them. If the car didn't come with factory power locks, they can still be added but at extra expense (around $60-100 or so).

I looked again at a spare brand new one that was in my garage - with that lock properly installed I don't see you circumventing it without breaking something. That latch doesn't move if in the locked position. I wish there was a way to post a picture - basically there's a tapered section of the lock assemble that slides into the gray housing - then the latch lifts and swings over the catch on the door; when the lock mechanism is pushed down that door is solidly secured. Then locking it makes it so it can't lift or open. Like I said, if that's done right, the housing won't open without you breaking some plastic either on the door or the lock itself.

I just tested by trying the door as it sits, then by putting tension against the latch as if a light-moderate spring were attached. I could not tell a difference in the actuation, to my surprise. So, it seems that you are good to go!

I have one button on the fringe of the operating distance so it only works occasionally. If the button does not work when it is near the door bell then it may have some bad contacts behind the button. I would ask Heath for a replacement button then.

As it was identical to mine, you can swap the remote/key section half with the battery/circuit board bits, and keep from fighting with your immobilizer.Also, if you wanted to swap the keys, the steel pin will push out, saving you from having to rewind any springs at all.

Yes. I used the jam lever as a quicks on off lever because of Air rade sound typical to battery powered models.

Little clarification. Are you asking if you can trigger your factory power doorlock system with this Crimestopper system? If so, the answer is yes. If you're asking can you directly connect the actual door lock actuator to this unit, then your answer is no. VERY few systems made, by any brand, can push enough current to drive a door lock actuator (Viper 211HV does, about it). To connect actuators to this system, you'll need external relays. The DEI 451M is recommended. One 451M per pair of doors needing to lock/unlock.

The ONLY thing I don't care about this driver is that it requires some resistance to get going. Once the screw has started in the threads and there is some small level of resistance the driver works like a charm. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but I can forsee a situation where in a tight spot where you can't quite reach in to start the screw, that this MIGHT be an issue. Otherwise, a great new innovation....who da thunk? Eric

The door to the safe is spring loaded so when you hit the right combination, the door opens up. This works great for me. I just went and tried it with the lid and lock facing upwards and while it worked all right, the spring was not powerful enough to completely open the door. Facing the lid and lock upwards is not quite as good as I would like it to be.

The buttons lock to only one selection at a time.. You press the one you want, the other button "pops out" and your selected button "pops in." Works great and with no power attached !!!! Nice product! -Roy M

NOT that I have found. I've searched all over for a spare parts supplier, but it looks like you have to replace the whole thing or rig something up to counter the locking mecha. I just snipped the wire off that locks the blade in place. It still works if you just use the plastic locking pin from the blade to secure to the motor. Just the back guard falls off when you remove the blade.

One of the youtube videos I watched had a method of modifying the limit switches really easily (before you install) to allow for a few more inches - I did not use this as I do not have the issue - also understand there is a diff model that has a longer rail or extension kit. I love this door and all the guys in my neighborhood have come over for a look.
