Does anyone know if the 1932 Tudor Sedan had door locks in the handles?
I have a single door lock below the handle on the passenger side but not on the drivers side. Is this the original design or were there options to include locks in the door handles?
 
Henry thought it dangerous to stand in the street while locking or un-locking your door........true scoop! DD
 
There was only a lock on the right side on domestic 32 cars, There never were locks in the handles to my knowledge. The lock in the handle is an after market deal.
 
Driver's side inside door handle pushes in the down position to lock and then you can lock the passenger side door with a key on the outside. Unlock your car in the reverse order. Pat
 
Dave,

Actually, I have a sedan that the handles are orientated 180 degrees off the norm. I didn't allow for that. I forgot about that!

Jake...Some of the aftermarket outside door handles have the door locks incorporated in the handles (left & right). Originally, No, just the passenger side had the outside lock assembly.

Thanks, Pat.
Since Henry wanted me out of the street, I will use the original method and just have the one lock. Makes good sense.
Thanks to all who took the time to help me with this.
I hope to have more complicated questions as I go forward.
