Lockless half doors

All half doors were lockless until around 1989 or 1990. I forget exactly when they started adding locks. I would prefer lockless myself because locks on half doors are stupid and pointless. Unfortunately though, parts are now unobtainable because you need parts for an only 3-4 year span vs all year of YJs or even TJs.
Door handles are the biggest offender because no one makes the lockless version and while I haven’t tried nor do I know anyone that has tried (due to rarity), I’m pretty sure you can’t just install the lock version onto a lockless half door.

Both Quadratec and Amazon sell them with the locks and the description on both sites state that they are compatible with Jeep Wrangler YJ 1987-1995, and TJ's 1997-2006. I think for 12 bucks each, I'd buy one and give it a try.
Not that it has anything to do with what you're doing, but my 93 half doors have the locks and I just had to repair the outside exterior handle on the driver's side that came loose. While I had it all apart, I cleaned and lubed everything. By the way, I don't use the locks.
