Yes, although I only changed the passenger side handle as i didn't want to risk ever been completely locked out of my car if there was ever a flat battery.

Well, get a rear door handle or a new paddle, not that hard to change. With the barrel removed, the door can be opened with a screw driver, an icecream stick or anything else :grin:

New cars usually have a 'hidden lock'.usually the lock is there, just covered by a blanking plate type thing.
