Bear Claw Pulley Kit

The Bear Claw Pulley Kit from AUTO-LOC is a professional-grade door latch cable system engineered for custom automotive installations where clean, reliable cable routing is essential. Designed for fabricators, restoration specialists, and custom builders, this kit solves the challenge of integrating functional door latches into vehicles with non-standard body panels or modified door configurations. The cut-to-fit design ensures compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms without requiring multiple SKUs or custom fabrication work.

This pulley-based cable system features cadmium-plated steel construction, which provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in engine bay and door jamb environments where moisture exposure is inevitable. The steel cable and pulley design distribute load evenly across the door latch mechanism, preventing binding and ensuring smooth operation through thousands of open-close cycles. The cadmium plating not only protects against rust but also reduces friction at pulley contact points, extending service life and maintaining consistent actuation feel over years of use. At 0.19 lbs and compact dimensions (5.85 x 0.8 x 8.8 inches), the kit installs in tight spaces without adding significant weight or bulk to door assemblies.

This kit is ideal for custom hot rod builders, classic car restorers, and fabrication shops tackling door conversion projects where original latch cables no longer fit or function. The cut-to-fit approach eliminates the need for expensive custom cable fabrication services, making it a cost-effective solution for one-off builds and small-batch restorations. Installation requires basic hand tools and mechanical aptitude; the pulley anchors to door or frame structure via standard fastening points, while the cable routes through the kit's precision pulleys to the door latch mechanism. Verify cable routing path and anchor points before final assembly to ensure smooth operation and proper door closure alignment.
