indide door handle rear barn door installed

[snapper388]

been thinking about doing this since I bought the van with a broken outside handle and learned it did not have one on the inside.the handle and linkage I used is off of a 94 astro barn door . I used a tubing cutter to cut the groove in the linkage . and a rubber wire groment where the linkage comes through the top of the door.

Niiice!

Does this still enable use of the external handle and lock?

[snapper388]

you can open and lock or unlock from inside or outside.

Y'all impressed the h-e-double-hockysticks out of me with your cobbling. Yankee know-how...can do !

Very close to what I did on my 86. Rumaged thru the JY and stole er, obtained a host of door lock

and handle parts. Cobbled it together to work from the inside.

Nice mod!

So do your back doors have metal panels that cover the openings or is it just the cloth covered piece?

my door panels are thin plywood with cloth cover.
