It is quite possible that a servo would work better for the application, especially if it were smaller in size. The reason I keep going to the door lock actuator is price. These door lock actuators are $5 shipped. How cheap can you get servos for? If you can link me to a good priced one I'd definitely be interested. The whole thing will be arduino controlled, so controlling it is not an issue.
