Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Push-Push Auto-Open Design: Automatically releases the door when powered on — no manual handle required.
- High-Strength Latch Hook: Withstands up to 150 kg of force with no permanent deformation; shockproof and anti-pry construction for added security.
- Carbon Steel Construction: Steel plate shell with carbon steel internals and electrophoretic paint surface treatment (neutral salt spray test exceeding 500 hours) for lasting durability.
- Compact & Versatile: Measuring approximately 5 × 6.3 × 1.3 cm, it fits most standard cabinets and lockers with no left/right/front/reverse orientation limitations.
- Self-Elastic Design: Ideal for doors weighing 0.5–2 kg, providing smooth and consistent locking action.
- Independent Work Mode: Power off + close door = Locked; Power on = Unlocked. Simple, intuitive operation.
- Feedback Signal Line: Short-circuit signal switch — disconnected when unlocked, connected when locked — for easy integration into control systems.
- Mechanical Emergency Unlock: Built-in mechanical backup unlocking position for safety compliance.
- CE Certified: Meets relevant European safety and compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the operating voltage for this solenoid electric lock?
A: This electric cabinet lock operates at DC 12V with a current draw of 2A. Ensure your power supply matches these specifications for safe and reliable operation.
Q: How does the push-push auto-open mechanism work?
A: When power is applied (12V DC), the electromagnet retracts the latch hook, automatically releasing and opening the door. When power is cut and the door is closed, the latch re-engages, locking the cabinet or drawer securely.
Q: Can this lock be installed in any orientation?
A: Yes — the design has no left, right, front, or reverse orientation limitation, making it highly flexible for a variety of cabinet and locker configurations. It also includes a mechanical emergency unlock position.
Q: Is this solenoid lock suitable for heavy doors?
A: This lock is optimized for doors weighing between 0.5 and 2 kg. The self-elastic design ensures smooth, consistent latch engagement within that weight range.
Q: Does this lock include a detecting switch?
A: No, the detecting switch is not included. However, it does feature a feedback signal line — a short-circuit signal switch that is disconnected when unlocked and connected when locked, enabling easy integration with external monitoring or control systems.
