Personally I'd stay away from autoloc's and look into Spal's if you want to use solenoids. Reason being I've seen a number of autoloc's rusted out after 2 years or so.
As an alternative look into actuators to open the locks instead of solenoids. They seem to work a lot smoother and tend to be less bulky.
But that's just my opinion after having installed both types in a number of different type applications. | | |
