JDMSPEED 60 lb Shaved Door & Boot Solenoid Kit — 60lb Linear Popper with Button Switch for Street Rods

JDMSPEED’s 60-pound shaved door and trunk solenoid kit is a compact, high-force popper designed to release even stubborn doors, hoods, and trunks with a single push.

This kit bundles a 60 lb-rated linear solenoid with a button switch, mounting bracket, wiring, and hardware so you can retrofit a street rod, custom car, or project vehicle for remote-style popping. Built for installers who need a concentrated pulling force in a small package, the solenoid arrives with paper instructions and parts laid out for quick fitting. It’s engineered to tackle heavy latch springs and tight-fitting panels where lighter solenoids often fall short.

How does this solenoid generate enough force to pop tough doors?

The solenoid converts electrical energy into a direct linear pull rated at 60 pounds of force at the plunger. That focused stroke delivers the instantaneous pull needed to overcome stiff latches or heavy weather seals, making it suitable for shaved handles and trunk conversions.

• 60 lb rated pulling force for strong latch release
• Short, direct plunger stroke ideal for shaved handle setups
• Solid mounting bracket to anchor force without flexing
• Simple wiring harness for reliable electrical actuation

What components are included and what will I need to install it?

The kit includes the main solenoid, a push-button switch, the mounting bracket, wiring, and basic hardware plus a paper instruction sheet. You may need additional vehicle-specific fittings, longer wiring, or connectors depending on your car’s layout and where you plan to mount the unit.

• Included: 1x 60 lb solenoid, 1x button switch, wire, bracket, and hardware
• Supplies you might need: wire crimpers, additional length wiring, ring terminals
• Optional: relay and inline fuse for long runs or higher-current setups
• Basic mechanical skills recommended for secure mounting

Where is this product best used and how does it mount?

Its compact footprint makes it ideal for shaved door or trunk conversions, under-hood hood releases, or custom street rod latch work. The included bracket lets you bolt the solenoid to a chassis point or inner panel so the plunger can pull a cable, latch rod, or clevis link directly.

• Mounts to inner panels or chassis points using supplied bracket
• Works with cable, rod, or clevis-style latch connections
• Short stroke and concentrated force for tight-fitting closures
• Button switch offers a clean, single-action release point

How should I protect the solenoid and wiring for long-term use?

Protect wiring runs from sharp edges, heat sources, and moving parts; secure the unit so it doesn’t vibrate loose. Adding a fuse and a relay in line helps safeguard vehicle wiring when powering high-force actuators over repeated cycles.

• Use grommets where wire passes through sheetmetal
• Install an inline fuse near the battery or power source
• Secure the solenoid with lock washers or thread locker for vibration resistance
• Keep wiring away from exhaust or hot engine components

Who this is for: This JDMSPEED 60-pound solenoid kit is aimed at builders, customizers, and DIY mechanics who need a small but powerful popper for shaved-door or trunk setups, hood releases, or any application where a concentrated linear pull is required. If you’re retrofitting classic cars, crafting a street rod, or upgrading a project vehicle and you need a reliable, high-force actuator with basic plug-and-play parts, this kit gives the core components to get the job done quickly. It’s supplied with user instructions and fits well into electrical systems with minimal extra parts—though installers seeking long-term durability should add proper fusing, a relay, and secure mounting hardware to match their vehicle’s layout.
