when i had my escort years ago i delocked the boot...

welded a few plates from the inside....and used a solenoid, switch and wiring from a MK3 Orion (cost a fiver)

u have to make a small bracket (not a hard job) to hold the solenoid but it ain't hard i did it! pmsl

my main concern was some1 putting a screw driver through the weld so i welded it well
