Long Latch Electromagnet Solenoid Lock 12V DC (Size:3) For Doors, Windows & Cabinet Electromagnetic

This is a 12V Electronic Cabinet/Door Lock.
You can lock and unlock Cabinets/Doors using a 12V power supply.
When the coil is energized, the slug is pulled into the center of the coil and the cabinet/door is unlocked. When 12V power is removed, an internal spring pushes the slug out and the cabinet/door is locked again.
This lock is great for DIY and Hobby Projects – Home Automation, Smart and Automatic Doors, Cabinets and Windows, etc This means that when activated with up to 12VDC, the solenoid moves and when the voltage is removed it springs back to the original position, which is quite handy.
This one even has nice mounting holes, it’s a great all-purpose solenoid. You will need a power transistor and a diode to drive a 12V lock from an Arduino or any other microcontroller.
You can also use our relay boards to control the lock from an Arduino.
You will need a fairly good power supply to drive a lock, as many currents will rush into the lock to charge up the electro-magnet, so don’t try to power it with a 9V battery!
