IT WAS COOL HOW THEY WORKED BUT THEY WERE HELLA UGLY,LOOKED LIKE A BAD SHAVE JOB.I THOUGHT THEY WERE MOLDING THEM IN UNTIL I SEEN IT PAINTED.

its probably a microswith that triggers a relay to trugger the solenoid when pressure is applied to the door.

in the 50s and 60s they used magnetic switches that do the same thing.

I gotta go with this person on this subject. I thought it was cool but its a little wierd because you can still see the outline of where the filler plate actually is. Like that of a bad shave job.

Yeah I just seen them too, on overhaulin'. I prefer shaved handles but it is nice to see something different, I think they are pretty cool though.
