filpee Member 20 Member For: 18y 25d Location: Perth Posted 08/11/06 09:28 AM Share Posted 08/11/06 09:28 AM Generally I dont mind using the key to unlock/lock the hardcover but I got thinking about the idea of a remote lock and how best to implement it.I came up with the idea of using those really strong electro magnetic locks. If we bolt one on each side of the tub then place a lump of metal on the door itself..... doh. bet itd suck the car battery dry in a matter of days.back to the drawing board.

Might be worth calling them or emailing them to see how they went with it.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
