Inclined Electromagnetic Lock - 12V Solenoid

This Inclined Electromagnetic Lock is made for light to medium security, and can be used with MCU's like Arduino for easy automation & access control.

 

As tinkerers, robot builders and all-round Electronics experts-in-the-making, we all love to find great products that can help us automate our lives, or perhaps provide some kind of benefit to our daily routines without us having to think much about it. This is what immediately attracted us to the awesome Inclined Electromagnetic Lock from DFRobot, which is a relatively simple 12V Solenoid, but has been designed with moderate security in mind, allowing Makers like us to integrate some nice fancy tech’ into our homes – to make our lives just that little bit better.

This deceptively simple solenoid locking unit utilises a copper bolt with electroless nickel plating to provide a secure lock while still offering a smooth, non-stick locking and unlocking motion. It can be rotated to 90°, 180° or 270° to fit almost any application, and is capable of withstanding relatively high temperatures with a long service life. These features make this lock perfect for light to moderate security, and while they may not be ideal as locks to the front door of a home, they are excellent for showcase cabinets, private spaces within a home, or as a means to control access to specific amenities within a complex or community environment.

Of course, in a country like South Africa, you certainly want to back this type of lock backed up with an alarm system or some kind of other security if it’s guarding something valuable or important. However, as basic defence, this lock’s level of convenience is justified, as it can be easily integrated into existing home automation systems, or can be used in conjunction with inexpensive microcontrollers like Arduino Boards for customised access control solutions – utilising Bluetooth, WiFi, Voice Control or even secret gestures to allow access.

Typical Applications for Inclined Electromagnetic Solenoid Lock:

As we’ve all grown up here in South Africa, many of us will understand the real value of being able to lock up and secure valuables or important things that we don’t want to lose, and this is why we can imagine a lot of fantastic use cases for the Inclined Electromagnetic Lock. However, we must stress that this lock may not be the ideal solution as a front door lock, and regardless of where it’s installed, it’s a good idea to have a secondary backup systems like an audible alarm to ensure that even if the lock is broken, there is some kind of further deterrent awaiting the intruder.

However, although this lock may not quite match the security of a Trellidor gate, it is perfect for light to moderate security, such as personal lockers at a place of employment, a lock to a bedroom or private space in a shared residence, or as simple access control for specific places or amenities within a communal environment.
