Electric Locks for Arduino, ESP32 & Access Control Projects
Electric locks are commonly used in access control, smart cabinet projects, lockers, drawers, door release mechanisms, RFID projects, keypad projects, automation prototypes and electronics-controlled locking systems.
Most electric locks require more current than a microcontroller pin can provide, so they usually need a suitable relay module, MOSFET switch module, transistor driver or external power supply. Always check the voltage, current draw, lock type, fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour, duty cycle, mounting method and mechanical suitability before ordering.
Electric Locks, Solenoids & Relay Control
Electric locks are often controlled by a relay module, MOSFET switch or access control circuit. A microcontroller can trigger the control circuit, while a separate power supply provides the current required by the lock. Some projects may also use RFID readers, keypads, push buttons, limit switches or sensors as part of the control system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an electric lock with Arduino or ESP32?
Yes, electric locks can be controlled from Arduino, ESP32 and other microcontroller projects, but they usually need a separate power supply and driver circuit such as a relay module or MOSFET switch module.
What is an electric cabinet lock used for?
An electric cabinet lock is used to electrically lock or release a cabinet, drawer, locker or small access panel in suitable access control and electronics projects.
Can I connect an electric lock directly to a microcontroller pin?
No. Most electric locks draw more current than a microcontroller pin can safely provide. Use a suitable relay, MOSFET, transistor driver or access control circuit.
What should I check before buying an electric lock?
Check the lock voltage, current draw, locking direction, fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour, duty cycle, mounting dimensions, holding force and whether it suits your mechanical application.
Can you help me choose the right electric lock?
Yes. If you are unsure which lock suits your project, contact AuscomTech with your supply voltage, required locking action, door or cabinet type, mounting space and control method.
