Default Pop locks?

Well i just thought about it and its been a pain in my butt trying to fix my doors because the handles do not work very well.. so i was wondering what about those automatic door poppers? How hard are they to install and how reliable? What if they break? how are you supposed to get in lol... any advice is appreciated..
Thanks,
Ian

you talking the things you use when you shave your handles right?
if so they work pretty good, buddy has them although i dont like them.
i would rather just throw a keyless system in.
you get in by hitting a button just like to unlock it with a alram and pop your down opens.

yea, i know what you mean and i would say that they are pretty reliable, i know my friend has had his for going on 2 years and hasnt had a single problem.
i think there are bypass switches that you can wire in and hind and if anything goes wrong that can pop your down, that or jus crawl threw the trunk lol

I left out a few keywords lol.

I meant to say, that i have unlocked my car before by rolling around on the floor with my keys in my pocket.

Could you imagine if you did that and it popped the doors open, anyone could go in your car.
