its a large electromagnet

when it has electricity to it, the magnet pulls together and pulls the wire attached

the wire connects to a door handle etc and pulls it open

Central locking motors are actuators controlled via a control unit.

2 wire actutors do not activate the other motors, yet 5 wire actuators do.

5 wire ones control rear doors too etc

no need if u only want 1 door/boot to pop

make sure it resets itself too (unlike maplins solinoids which are crap)
