Finally found time to get this done and I’m stoked. No clue why GFC doesn’t use these in the first place, except for cost.
Only thing that sucks is having a separate key for the side panels now. The bigger latches weren’t an insignificant cost and took a couple hours to install, so I don’t anticipate changing out the side panel latches any time soon. I did the whole project with a Dremel tool and file, but I’m sure someone could do it faster with a router if you popped the door off.
If anyone is interested, here’s my order from Southco. Total cost was $167 with shipping.
