I have a 1999 Honda Accord 4 door  , I'm installing  a (KE-30) Commando Keyless Entry.

Is there a brand or type of door lock actuators someone can recommend, I bought  some  Universal door locks off e-bay six months ago Freeway is the brand name .both drivers and passenger side Actuators have froze up., on my truck, I though I ask the pros this time.  Thanks Mark

DEI part number 524N. Make sure the install is straight as possible and doesn't bind at all.

Spal gets my vote. Italian made, strong quiet....lasts for years.

I have been using a generic actuator (2 wire & looks exactly the same as dei or spal) for several years now.
I installed them for customers and none has called back or complained.
I second wat auex has to say, make sure you are installing it straight so less work on the actuator and not to damage it.
I really dont think brand matters, because i took one apart and i didnt see any difference. Im pretty sure there is one manufacturer of the item and they send it to different company to stamp as thier own.

I fully agree with captainzab. I get all my actuators from partsexpress.com for dirt cheap. If you buy more than 10 at a time they are like 4 bucks a peice or somthin like that. They come with all mounting hardware and screws needed. But they don't come with a piece of rubber door boot like other companies include with theirs.

I have replaced plenty of the "cheep" actuators...(4 bucks is cheap) when I worked at a shop in Tacoma that was a big "get it as cheap as poss. and hold high gross" Then pay me to replace the POS.....there goes your gross. The spal is 9 bucks.

I've never had any comebacks with them. I have a pair on my own Cutlass since 1999 now and no problems at all.

I use the omega ds 2.2 actuators.  They are very high quality and never had a comeback. A step up from the cheapest, worth the extra penny.

I've used the partsexpress $4 actuators with great success.  So far 4 of them have survived 4 years of high use in a Caravan.
