Re: AW: [DML] Door Lock Solenoids

[dherv10@xxxx]

Elvis, I have operated door locks on as small as 10 amp circuit breakers. 
Then as you know, if they hang up for any reason the breaker will trip before 
the
module / relays inside burns up. That has been my experience. Don't run them 
on 20,30,or 40 amps. You will be asking for trouble.

The solenoids aren'd worn out or something similar.
They simply are burned inside !
the coating / insulation of the wire is melted away and now the current
makes it like JZD said - it cuts corners..also called short circuit !

Why ? because a relay was stuck and toasted the wire.
If one is bad, the other one isn't much better because the are connected to
the same relay.

That's a common problem, do your homework and you'll find the problem and
solution.
