If you have a project to control door or cabinet access with an microcontroller ( or Arduino ), This electronic solenoid lock would do the job for you.

This works on the principle of electromagnetism, wherein a DC current creates a magnetic field which moves the slug. To drive the solenoid you would need a power source which can give 12V @ 500mA. The below circuitry would help you get it going without problems:

Applications:

• Home Automation
• Cabinet locking
• Smart code locking doors
• Electronic door control for attendance systems
• Mobile control of door locks

Technical specs

• 12VDC (you can use 9-12 DC volts, but lower voltage results in weaker/slower operation)
• Draws 650mA at 12V, 500 mA at 9V when activated
• Designed for 1-10 seconds long activation time
• Max Dimensions: 27mm x 27mm x 17mm
  
• Wire length: 222.25mm / 8.75"
• Weight: 147.71g
