Smart Parts Interior Door Handle Installation Guide

Your Smart Parts Door Handle can be mounted anywhere on your door,
with our standard 5' cable. Also available for your trunk, hood or gas tank
door release is the longer 12'cable.

The Smart Parts Handle can be used for exterior door handles as well.

The coated housing allows for tight bends in the cable, but care should be
taken not to kink the cable.

The Smart Parts Door Handle will work with most after market and stock
door latch systems. Stock latches must be working freely without,t excessive
effort. Double clamping of the cable housing is a MUST.

interference with moving parts. The cable end and spring should move freely
witho'.rt contact with the door or window.
