| Check out my site: www.RuntRod.com under teh articles section. THere's a diagram in the shaved handles article to give you an idea. But basically a solenoid just pulls on a cable or rod which is attached to the door latch that unlocks the latch. Pretty simple really, press the button, the solenoid pulls. |

I have no idea I bought it like that. I think you are right though it looks like a for a lock but I have no locks they were shaved too. |
