Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between NO and NC on this electric bolt lock?
A: NO (Normally Open / Fail Secure) means the bolt is locked when there is NO power and unlocks when power is applied. NC (Normally Closed / Fail Safe) means the bolt is locked when power IS on and unlocks when power is cut. Choose NO for maximum security during outages, or NC for safety-first access where power loss must allow entry.
Q: Can this mini electric bolt lock work with both 12V and 24V power supplies?
A: Yes — this lock is compatible with both DC 12V and DC 24V power supplies. The current draw is ≥1.2A at 12V and approximately 0.3A at 24V. Simply connect it to a stable DC power source that matches your system's voltage.
Q: What type of cabinets or drawers is this electric bolt lock suitable for?
A: This compact bolt lock (55 × 40 × 28 mm) is designed for small to medium cabinets, desk drawers, lockers, windows, and safe boxes. Its small form factor makes it easy to install in tight spaces without requiring extensive modification.
Q: How long can I keep this lock energized at one time?
A: It is recommended to keep each unlock cycle within 0–10 seconds. Exceeding this duration can cause the lock body to heat up, potentially leading to damage. Use a timer or controller to ensure cycles remain within the safe operating window.
