An aftermarket system designed to automate the locking and unlocking of doors in vehicles with two doors. This typically involves replacing or augmenting the existing manual locking mechanisms with electric actuators controlled by a switch, remote key fob, or integrated into the vehicle’s alarm system. Common applications include older vehicles lacking this feature or providing a convenient upgrade over factory-installed systems.
The value of such a system lies in enhanced convenience and security. It allows drivers to simultaneously lock or unlock both doors with a single button press, eliminating the need to manually reach across or fumble with keys, especially useful when carrying items. Historically, these systems emerged as a luxury feature on high-end automobiles and have become increasingly accessible through aftermarket solutions, reflecting a growing demand for enhanced vehicle functionality and user experience.
