The 12V Solenoid (Latch / Lock)is an electronic lock. When powered with a 12VDC source, the latch is pulled in, allowing movement.
Without power, the latch is extended, blocking movement and your secret drawer is safe and secure. This Solenoid Latch comes with a mounting bracket which can be removed with two screws. Once removed the solenoid can be rotated 180 and remounted. Paired with a relay you can easily have a low voltage system control this and other higher voltage devices.
