	[[File:Door_Switch1.JPG\|400px\|left]]Here is a picture of the installation of my safety latch and door locking mechanism. Note that the door lock uses the same latching bar. On top of the U channel aluminum block is a pin that extends forward through the door so that the security latch can be released from outside the plane. This feature is only present on the pilot side door. You can see that the switch is actually checking that the safety has come down and locked.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>		[[File:Door_Switch1.JPG\|400px\|left]]Here is a picture of the installation of my safety latch and door locking mechanism.
