Remote door lock/opener?

I have some problems with my driver side door handel, and I was wondering if this would work, I also want to shave the door handels completely and bondo them over if this system would work.

Those solenoids are not strong enough to pop a door. They are designed to lock and unlock the doors, not open them.

lock actuators pop the lock not the door. they very well may unlock and lock your door, but it will definately not be able to pop the door. you will need to get a door popper kit with a remote system.

the particular kit that you have listed is to convert your car to a keyless entry system. not a door popper kit. you can also tell that it is only for the locks because of the single metal rod that is included(one for each side). if you have ever seen the inside of a door you will see that the rod connecting the handle to the actual claw is much loger, a few more bends, and a little wider.

also actuators are not what you want to open your door. and actuator works much like a little $.25 fan motor works. it uses a constant motion to slowly move something from one position to the next. a popper is what you will want, it uses a short burst of energy to move a heavy object(i.e. your door) from a closed position to an open one. make sure to understand that a door popper kit does not open your door comppletely, it just pops it out away from the body so that you can grab the door and pull it the rest of the way.
