12V Electric Solenoid Lock for Arduino, Raspberry Pi & Smart Access Control Projects

The 12V Electric Solenoid Lock is an electromechanical locking mechanism that secures doors, cabinets, and drawers. When energized, it retracts the locking bolt to allow access, making it ideal for smart access control systems.

Key Features

• 12V DC operation
• Electromechanical bolt
• Fail-secure design (locked when de-energized)
• Durable metal construction
• Easy mounting
• Simple 2-wire connection
• Reliable operation

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Smart door locks
• Cabinet security
• Drawer locks
• Access control systems
• Safe and locker mechanisms
• Automated entry systems

Important Notes

• Requires 12V power supply capable of 1A
• Use flyback diode across solenoid to protect driver
• Not for high-security applications
• Bolt must align properly with strike plate
• Continuous energization generates heat – duty cycle may apply
• Mechanical force limited – suitable for light doors/cabinets
