Description

The Altman Easy Latch kit is a vehicle-specific, bolt-on bear jaw rotary claw latch kit for 1947–1951 Chevy trucks. Contoured jamb plates match the factory features of your doors, and each latch works with the stock exterior handle, interior handle and door lock cylinder.

Features

  • Bear jaw rotary claw latches, zinc plated to resist corrosion.
  • Case-hardened internal claws with a black oxide coating.
  • Jamb plates contoured to the factory door features.
  • Works with the stock exterior handle, interior handle and lock cylinder.
  • One kit covers both doors.
  • Designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA.

Choose your option

  • Stock exterior handles
  • Shaved handle application

Fitment notes

You can lock these latches from the outside with your stock lock cylinder, but not from the inside by pushing the handle forward.

Common questions

Will it work with my factory handles?

Yes. The latches are vehicle specific and work with the stock exterior handles, interior handles and lock cylinders. A shaved-handle version is offered for doors with no outside handles where the option is listed at the top of the page.

Do I have to cut or weld?

No welding. The kit bolts on, and the jamb plates are contoured to match the factory features of your doors.

Does one kit do both doors?

Yes, one kit covers both doors.

How do I know it fits my truck?

This part is listed for 1947–1951 Chevy and GMC 3100, 3800 and Suburban. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.

How long before it ships?

It is a stock item and generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.

What if it is not right for the truck?

You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by Canada Post. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
