Pulling the new lever forward forces the auto unlock lever to push the catch down, releasing the jaws. It also pushes the lock slide back, unlocking the latch.

To retain this unlocking, but permanently disable auto unlock when closing the door, cut the lower jaw off the auto unlock lever, just below the catch.

To reversibly disable all auto unlocking, simply bend the arm up & outward so it never contacts the lock slide.
