In this video, I'll show you how I built a simple DIY Remote Control Door Lock
I used simple components and simple design for a finished diy door lock that I think should last a good long time.
If you're trying to figure out how to make a remote control door lock and have a budget of around $100, this video is for you.
If you want a really cheap DIY door lock, there are more economical ways to build it. Typically they are more complex however.
I was after a simple system that looks decent, not rock bottom price. The parts for this system cost just over $100.
Here's the linear servo we used: www.actuonix.com/L16-S-Linear-...
And this is the RF Receiver: www.actuonix.com/Wireless-Remo...
The sliding bolt lock can be bought at any hardware store
Below is a transcript of this video:
Hey everybody, wanted to show you guys this little project I built, It's a remote control lock.
It works great, I'm pretty happy with it. As you can see it uses a linear servo and a sliding bolt lock. They're connected by a piece of wire there, it's just something I had kicking around.
And here is the brains of the thing, it's an RF switch. This thing comes with these two little remotes which is awesome, because if you wanted to build this on your front door this is something that you could have with you and carry in your pocket and remotely unlock your front door.
It's really simple to wire up, it's 12V in and 12V out to the actuator there. They're really reliable, they're cheap and that's why I decided to do it that way.
So I'm pretty happy with it, I think I'm going to put this on my shop door. I may do something different with the wire here, I haven't decided yet. It does seem to be working at the moment.
Let me know what you think in the comments, thanks for watching!
Actuonix Motion Devices was formerly named Firgelli Technologies. We changed our name in the summer of 2016. We offer the same powerful micro linear actuators, great service, fast shipping and low prices as before.

If you've made a video on how to make an RC door lock, I'd like to see. Post it in the comments! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thank you for making this video, this is the EXACT set up I am wanting to make for a project at home! The wire clipped to the handle of the lock is genius, I was going to try to attach the servo end to the rod but your way is much easier!
Very clever. I do see a potential problem, if the lock does not line up as that type sometimes does not. Will the servo continue and the wire bend and not engage the lock?
Is there a product like this that is already built anywhere?
How did you mount the actuator to the board? I see the bolt but not entirely sure how it’s fixed down?
Great video, does the job, that is what counts 😊
Thank you sir! I watched all of your RC lock videos as well. Thoroughly enjoyed them!
hello where i buy this?
What parts do I need and where can I get
What length servo did you use here? I went to the links provided but we gave to choose a length for the actuator.
Much appreciated.
Hi Boomer - Sorry to have left that out. The actuator used here is the L16 S series with a 30mm stroke.
Thinking of doing something similar - how did you connect the wire from the linear servo to the bolt lock? As in, what's keeping the wire connected to the servo? Is the black stuff..tape?
Hi Charlie, the wire I'm using for that is a tail rotor pitch control rod from an RC helicopter. It already has a hole in one end so I bolted that to the clevis on the actuator. The other end I simply bent the wire around the lock. Hope that helps.
actually, that really does help! thanks! i'm actually waiting for my linear servo to ship out still, but once it gets here I'm going to use it in conjunction with a biometric reader for access to my room.
I'd love to see that when it's done!
very nice man , good job , simple and working very well. Is the servo coming with set?
where to buy this thing please?
HI Adam, link to the servo and RC system are in the description. Lock can be found at any hardware store :)
Did you ever mount this and put it to use? How long before you took it off after?
This was created as a demo and was not installed.
Just a question might be a dumb one but How do you control how far the actuator opens does it have any type of limit switch inside?
That actuator is an "S" model with limit switches. You would have to make your linkages so it operates full stoke and the limit switches wold shut it off at each end of it's stoke.
Please can I know the name of that linear rotating motor
Hi there, this is the linear servo used in the video - www.actuonix.com/L16-S-Linear-Actuator-p/l16-s.htm
So where did you buy that remote Fob from. We have laundry room look at my complex that door open with Key Fob just by taking it close to the lock its like Bluetooth or just Inferred as you have to take it really close to it. I lost my Fob which looks like a little Usb flimsy little thing that is programed and my land lord charges like $75 for new one. which is a rip off... So I wanted to buy from some where so they can program it, but can't find where to buy those from..
Our FOBs are only sold with our Remote Control units and are RF not bluetooth.
It's likely that it's an RFID proximity tag. The most common frequencies used are 125kHz and 13.56MHz. Each tag has a unique ID number and this has to be programmed into the reader system. Usually done by putting the reader into a master mode, selecting the add tag/card command, and touching the new tag to the reader. Basically the reader must know of the existence of that particular tag before it can be used. Tags are really cheap but they must still be matched into the system. Tags can be programed into the system to give different types of access to individual tags.
Hey I need this at my apartment. Help. Step by step instructions please.
Hi there, the video is pretty clear. To accomplish this you will need the parts listed in the video description.
Die you use the 30mm 135:1 Actuator?
Hi Jaky - L16-30-35-12-S is the model shown here.
Actuonix Motion Devices thanks for your answer
No worries!
what things will i be needing to do this???
Supplies are listed in the video description.
Is there a way I could buy something like this already made?
Not from us sorry
Plz give me link for buy this product
You can buy the L16-S actuators here: www.actuonix.com/L16-S-Linear-Actuator-p/l16-s.htm and the remote control unit here: www.actuonix.com/Wireless-Remote-Control-kit-for-linear-actuators-p/remote_control.htm
What exactly is the power source for the reciever?
12v power of at least 1A is recommended
exactly what im trying to do
Plz give me link for buy this product in india
We do not have a distributor in India. You can buy directly from our site at www.actuonix.com, we will ship it to India.
Do you need an anntena?
Hi, our wireless remote control has an antenna already.
Is this setup weatherproof?
No IP54 rated, so water resistant but not waterproof
@@ActuonixMotionDevices i am looking for a setup on my outer gate. And the fence itself is spring loaded to jump open. What can you offer
I like this! How much did the servo cost?
Thanks Komiksti, the link for the servo is in the description.
How
Why don't you just use the linear servo's shaft to slide in to the pipe? The whole wire plus shaft thingy is redundant.
Only a stupid person would suggest that.
That would be a better design, but we just used what we had kicking around.
First, this is not a servo.
Second, the Linear Actuator's push rod does not have the sheer strength of the bolt.
Third, the slide bolt lock is already made to do this. Why on earth would a smart person waste all that time to make something way more costly than something already made? Makes no sense.
@@ActuonixMotionDevices Better design? What? Are you crazy?
Check out this video to get an idea of how powerful our linear actuators are.
