Chris,
       Go the the links page on our website. Click on
Parts Express. Type door lock into the quick search
space. The actuator that we are usin is the first one,
2 wire 12volts. $4.25 each. They also send mounting
hardware with each one. I just use a servo, and micro
switch to operate my trigger. Very simple and
strong.If you like, I'll take some pics for you.
