This item is an electrically operated fail secure latch type lock. It uses a solenoid (electromagnetic) design to electro-mechanically pull the bolt inwards (unlocked position) when power is supplied to the lock. A compression spring will return the bolt to the locked position when power is removed.
Hobby components notes: Unlock time should not exceed 10 seconds otherwise there is a risk of burning out the solenoid.
