I installed the large Autoloc bear claw latches. I temporarily glued a couple of washers to the on the back side of the bearclaw latch to space the latch about .09" just to the outside of the window channel. I wanted to keep a little space between the latch and the window channel. It is close, but the bearclaw slide lock will just clear the inside of the door skin if this is spaced right.

I set the installation plate about 3/16" inset from the raised border around the door panel to clear the bearclaw tips, when the door closes. I added a 3/16" thick plate on top of the installation plate to reconstruct the border, and to add a little additional support. I'm not necessarily going to use the door panel, but it made sense to build it back up. I still have a little of cosmetic work to do, but I had to get this primed due to the rain forecast later in the week. The problems of not having an enclosed garage.
