I’m wanting to control my UK euro lock (which has a thumb turn on the rear) with probably a stepper motor - has anybody done this? I’m guessing will probably need to 3d print some parts - but also wondering if the whole thing will get so bulky on the rear of the door that I’ll have difficulty opening the door to its full extent! Here in the UK at least in terraced houses your door tends to only open 90° before it hits the wall!
I’m aware Abus make a lock cylinder motor, but it’s not for a thumb turn cylinder, you have to modify a key and sort of sandwich it between the motor housing and the lock so that it’s permanently engaged in the lock.
Think I’ve possibly found my answer. I didn’t think a servo would be strong enough. Looks like it is.
