as long as the lock plunger moves up and down easily you can get door lockes in there no problem, i had a 75 bug many many years ago (16 ouch) where the locks were difficult to move up and down to the point where aftermarket door locks wouldnt have worked.
Moogs car is the perfect example of how to install them, keep that rod straight as possible. im thinking moog just put 2 passenger side door handels on his car, just a guess

 They are really nice & smooth, although I don't think many people notice them, which is cool with me  Remote control relay works really nicely - as Ribz says the trick is to make sure the lock mechanism is nice & slick, and the actuator rod is to be as straight as possible. The actuators i've used are Swiss made - not that expensive compared to some of the rubbish you can get.Cheers Moog

ive done a ton of door locks over the years, probably close to 5-6000 (yes thousand =) and you would be suprised at the angles and bends you have to put on some, esp newer cars
well you have to admit it was a good guess about the handels, i did it on a honda and chevy truck along time ago, it works out well unless you have door lock failure, blown fuse for lock relays ect..

 Actually, this is how i started going out with a girl many years back - complete power failure on her bug with her trapped inside. Even the interior handles had gone & worked off micro switches, electric windows stuck, etc. I cut out a rear side-window to release her, and she was very grateful...  Cheers Moog
