P38A Just a stupid thought

I am in the process of repairing a couple of the door mechs, I had a stupid thought...…..
I have always thought of the day that if something went wrong with the drivers lock I would have the issue of breaking in. If I was to replace the passenger side handle with a locking one (not connected to the leccys) could it not be used in an emergency? The alarm would go off by opening but that would be better than the alternative.....
I remember the days when my old cars had keyed locks on both doors and the arse end, not so long ago either. My old Cortina had a separate key for each due to bits breaking
I could just do a Mr Bean I guess, nice big padlock

Just a thought, I am sure I will realise after I post this why I cant....

Anything is possible.

Probably have to use a lock from a left hooker.

Put ya fist through the glass, push comes to shove etc

Don’t worry about it

I have thought about the very same, I have a LHD which is probably going to become a spare car.
So I have another correct handle and lock (with key).
Electrickery aside, it gets you in

But having being caught out with the little rod falling off before, probably not going to see it again
