Eric,

To be clear, I plan on putting the release lever at the bottom left ( as you look back at the hatch) for my own reasons. I don’t know how the uniwerks release set up is arranged.

Simplest  I’ve seen is just a joke in the card with a cord coming out… right adjacent to the lock mech.

I’d like to install a front door door release lever, and for some reason I want it at one lower corner.
