Description
EASYPOP Shaved Door Handle Actuator – 1″ Pull Solenoid Popper
The only option when shaving door handles or activating high-load latches. Install once and done.
EASYPOP is a compact, high-torque shaved door handle actuator designed to open vehicle doors where the exterior handles have been shaved for a smooth, custom finish.
With a powerful 1″ pull stroke, EASYPOP reliably actuates latches at the push of a button, ideal for custom cars, hot rods, restomods, and body shop builds. Running on less than 5 amps at 12 volts, it delivers strong performance without overloading your electrical system. Housed in a weather-resistant casing, it’s built for long-term durability and versatile enough to use on doors, trunks, truck tailgates, toolboxes, or any latch requiring less than 1″ of travel. Each kit includes the actuator, a cable mounting bracket, and bracket screws, everything you need to integrate EASYPOP into your custom build with confidence. Most latches tested take less than 4 lbs of force to activate.
Skip the hype: choose reliability over raw amps
High-current solenoids boasting 60 to 100 lbs of pulling force are misleading. That “peak” rating only occurs under perfect, no-load conditions, something you’ll never see in real-world use. What you will see is a massive 30 to 40 amp current draw, which quickly burns out relays and wreaks havoc on your wiring. Even worse, when they fail (and they often do within months), they can bend or jam components, causing permanent damage. EASYPOP delivers consistent, controlled performance without the excessive current draw or destructive failures, making it the smarter, safer, and more efficient choice for modern builds.
- Built for shaved door handles, engineered with proper torque and stroke
- True 1″ pull actuator, not a weak generic solenoid
- Clean wiring, simple 3-wire installation
- Reliable and repeatable pop every time
- Fits custom cars, trucks, hot rods, and more
Next-generation solenoid and actuator, without the solenoid issues
- 12 lbs pulling power: pulls a distance, not a force. Pulls a full inch every time (a constant 12 lbs of force through the pulling cycle)
- Stronger than 100 lb poppers
- Low-current operation: allows 18-gauge wiring runs at a 5-amp operational current
- Easy install
- Needed hardware included
- Three-wire hookup: power, ground, and ground trigger
- Versatile mounting in cramped locations
- Converts a 1/2-second input ground pulse to one operation cycle
- Whisper-quiet operation
- Strong, durable construction
- Tested to 5,000 cycles at full load at 100% duty cycle
- 1 year warranty
- Made in the USA
- Patent pending
Frequently asked questions
Q: Will EASYPOP work with any shaved door handle setup?
A: Yes. EASYPOP is designed to work with most shaved door kits and accessory systems.
Q: Is EASYPOP stronger than traditional solenoids?
A: Yes. Traditional solenoids list a peak pulling power measured unloaded. You will never see a fraction of that in real applications, because by their nature they have to be preloaded: their strokes are too short and they are instantly under load, so there is no ramp-up to let acceleration and mass build the force.
Q: How much pull does EASYPOP deliver?
A: A true 1″ pull with high torque to reliably open modern latches.
Q: Can EASYPOP be used for trunk or compartment doors?
A: Yes, it works for trunks, hatches, fuel doors, and hidden panels.
Q: Can EASYPOP damage my latch?
A: No. EASYPOP will never pull past a latch stop when installed correctly. Solenoids pull all the way to the latch stops because they have to in order to work, which typically damages the latch over time.
Q: Do you sell kits for keyless entry?
A: Yes, we can configure one custom to your setup. Just ask.
Mounting options and comparison

John Edwards –
I glad I found these I was done dicking around trying to get into my truck. These things are strong! Lets hope they last. Thanks for answering my constant questions!
Jack Harris –
We build a lot of custom cars and the solenoids were our #1 comeback. Corroded, jammed, blown 30A fuses—you name it. Takes a lot less time to hook up the cable. There is some adjustability if you don’t get it mounted just right. Install is a lot more flexible in different scenarios. The best part is the actuator is finally away from the window rails. I just ordered 20 more.
Chris Staford –
Glad I gave these a shot. Sooooo quiet. I can’t believe I put up with the others for so long. I wish I’d ditched solenoids sooner.

Saw an ad on facebook and have to try. I hope these work out I am tired of having to leave my rear seat out and crawling through the trunk of my 52 Merc
