Lock Mechanism +12V Circuit Magnetic sw Pin 2 7k

Solution

When current flows through the electromagnet (SW), it creates a strong magnetic field, attracting the relatively large surface of the armature plate on the door.
The magnetic field is strong enough to prevent the door from being forced open, requiring a user to input a security code or present a badge to deactivate the
electromagnet and free the door throught PIN 2

Most electromagnetic locks are \"fail-safe.\" This means that when the power fails, the door unlocks.
This is so people don\'t become trapped inside secure facilities in case of a fire or other power-supply disruptions. In \"fail-secure\" electromagnetic locks,
the magnet holds back a spring-loaded or weighted locking mechanism. In this case, the door unlocks only while the power is on, and if the power fails,
the door seals.
These are commonly used in vaults and other high-security areas, to prevent outsiders from breaking in by simply cutting the power.
