Product Description:
It is know that solenoid is basically electromagnet, built in a big coil of copper wire with an iron armature in the center of housing. Once the solenoid coil is energized, the slug is pulled into the center of the coil. This makes the solenoid able to pull from one end.
This kind of solenoid is nice and strong as it has a slug with a slanted cut and a good mounting bracket. Basically, it is an electronic lock. Normally the lock is active so you can't open the door because the solenoid slug is in the way. It does not use any power at this state. However, when 9-12VDC is applied, the slug pulls in and the door can be opened.
