Door Lock Solenoids
I am installing Altman latches so I need a remote entry unit and actuators. I am leaning on the Dakota Digital control unit but was curious what size (pounds of pull/push) I need in an actuator. They seems to vary from a few pounds to about 12 pounds for door locks and even higher of course for door poppers. Some actuators are electric solenoids while others are gear motors. Preference?

I purchased my door poppers from AVS. The kit is an 8 channel kit and I purchased the electric window controller from them as well. Door poppers work well with the Altman Latches. Haven't installed the controllers yet.
Hope this helps

By the way, do you remember where you found those wafer head metric screws? I have one just barely touching the primered door jamb. By the time I add the basecoat/clearcoat finish paint I'm sure I will have a problem. I did find some standard 1/4-20x3/4 SS wafer head screws at Fastenal but the head is about 3/4" in diameter. I'll use a M6-1.0x16mm metric wafer head if I can find them. I did not see them at McMasters.

I believe I bought the metric wafer head screws off of ebay. They were low cost. I just bought 6-1/4-20 ss wafer head machine screws for the latches at McMaster-carr. Haven't received them yet (Expensive).
Check them out. Worth it if it works.

I forgot to tell you that McMaster-Carr calls the bolts ultra-low profile stainless steel bolts. I haven't received them yet but they should work.
Take care
