Hi all,
Looking at using a ELK-924 sensitive relay to drive a solenoid which will be used as a garage door deadbolt - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110884060252?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Can anyone see any problems with this? The solenoid will retract when powered, so if my garage door is open a constant 12V will need to be applied to hold the solenoid open. Would there be any issues if say the garage door was open for extended periods of time?
Cheers
