What do door solenoids and door poppers do?
It came with two 50 lb door poppers, two 45 lb solenoids and all the components needed to make it work with my existing burglar alarm. Door poppers are used to pop open the door once the solenoid unlatches the door. The solenoid electronically takes the place of the door handle. The door popper gives the door the push to open.
What to do if your door handle is not working?
Components such as springs or parts within a keyed lock cylinder can only be assessed for damage once the lock is taken apart. If you are unfamiliar with the mechanics of your particular lock, it can also be hard to diagnose what is not working, let alone fix door handles experiencing an issue.
Where does the Pull Cable go on a door solenoid?
The pull cable from the solenoid is routed through the door metal by a bicycle brake cable (more on this later!) It curves to line up with the latching mechanism. Notice that there is a a pull rod going to the inside door handle (details further down).
How does a door solenoid work on a hot rod?
The slot is positioned so that when you pull on the door handle rod (like when opening the door), it immediately pulls the latch. The slot is to allow the solenoid to pull the latch without engaging the door handle mechanism. When the solenoid pulls the hex head bolt, it slides along the slot. Simple to make!

What happens if my door lock does not work?
Power door locks do not function Another symptom of a potential problem with the door lock actuators are power door locks that do not function. If the door lock actuators fail, they will disable the power door lock feature from working.
