The factory lock is easily punched out. The added Master lock is just that extra step enough to deter a thief to target easier pickings. The hose clamp is also easily removed with a flat head screw driver and a small ball peen hammer.

Hardest part is mounting the actuator. They sell kits, but they are pricey.
Locate the two wires for the passenger door and splice your two wires from the new actuator on to it and there you go. There are more complicated ways to do it, but aside from the mounting, its a two wire install.

I just ordered the Pop n Lock kit for mine. $87 US through Amazon.
That way, at least it will lock and I won't have to think about going to it with the key all the time.
