Re: what kind of shop should i go to to get my Alientec installed? (Sunil)
great writeup. one thing i'd add (after doing this TWICE because i decided to re-do the whole thing with different wiretaps after the first try failed) is to get a big box or something that's about as high as it is from the ground to the bottom of the door. i used a cardboard box. you can use this box to support the weight of the panel while you're unclipping all the wiring and the locking mechanism holding it to the doorframe. having a friend hold it would work too, but their arms might get a little tired if you don't know what you're doing and can't get it done quickly.

the alternative is to let the wiring support the weight of the panel (what i did the first time) until you've got it all unclipped, but that might break something.
