[DML] Re: Electrical door lock fix + alarm? Suggestions?

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Derek - The various Wings-A-Loft units work fine with LockZilla.  
The LockZilla mimics the function of the DeLorean door lock module, 
but uses heavier-duty components.  You can actually rework your 
existing lock module to incorporate heavier-duty 40 amp relays 
yourself (which gets you most of the way there), or replace the 
entire unit with LockZilla.  We have the parts you would need for 
that.  Send me a message off-list and I would be happy to give you a 
complete rundown of all of the options that are available in the 
Wings-A-Loft line, and advise you on what you should get based on 
what you want as a final result.  In regards to your last question, 
you will never find an alarm system with any capabilities that is 
truly "plug and play".  You will find our instructions to be very 
complete and easy to follow in order to integrate our systems into 
the DeLorean electrical system.

As an aside to this, perhaps some of the more experienced electrical 
wizards on this List would like to share their thoughts regarding 
the massive voltage and in-rush current spikes that are created by 
the door lock solenoids, and their possible effects on other parts 
of the electrical system?
