Do you know of the part we need that will do the job and where we can buy it?

I had always planed to use air, never even considered using electric.

There are plenty of electrically operated actuators that can be picked from the wreckers. Remote door locks, electric window winders, electric radio antennas, windscreen wiper motors. Maybe with a limit switch to set the open / close positions?

How about vacuum operated actuators? Many cars use them to move heater or air con flaps. You can get electrically operated vacuum valves from the same source.
