door release cables

I know I've seen them... you guys with shaved door handles... show me your manual release cable set-ups for opening doors with dead batteries,. something that goes from bear claw latches thru door frame to the outside so you can pull the cable and release the latch... probably should think about something inside also..

thanks

That's different, I don't think I'd want electric actuated doors from the inside. I guess what I'd do for the inside is set up something like a choke pull for a mechanical option..
