So I got my hinges in, hopefully the pilot holes I drilled after mock up will have alignment pretty close when the doors go on. I also checked the function of the door jamb switches and the door solenoid circuits, turns out the power supply to the relays is only hot with the key on. Not good. Would it be a bad idea to run the wire to one side of the "red-battery" terminal on the HL switch? The relays and an auto resetting circuit breaker are mounted inside the left door jamb. A 10ga wire feeds power to the HL switch so it should handle the current draw ok. Connecting it there would sure be convenient.
