REFLECTOR: Door lock

[steve korney]

After a crash, it is possible that the rescue team might think of breaking 
out the window...

Best... Steve

Using a key to relaese the latch sounds like a nice idea during normal 
operations; however, when working on my doors I decided to use the same 
external unlatching mechanism on the copilot side side as well as the pilot 
side.  The concern I had was: if a crash left occupants incapacitated and 
the pilot door was blocked, rescuers could not open the copilots door.  Hope 
the situation never occurs.
