Adafruit Lockitron Motorized Door Lock Body

Unlock the potential of your DIY smart lock projects with the Lockitron motorized door lock enclosure. This adaptable housing features a geared-down DC motor, a mechanical rotation mechanism with detection switches, and a 4xAA battery holder.

Perfect for creating custom solutions, this enclosure offers the flexibility to integrate Adafruit electronics. Experiment with components like the Metro Mini and FONA 800 to tailor your design.

Equipped with the critical components but requiring your own control board, motor driver, and software, this platform is ideal for custom innovations. For example, you could enable keyless entry for pet sitters by simply sending a text. Installation guidance is available, though extra parts are needed to complete your setup.

This enclosure does not include electronic components, so ensure you have a bi-directional DC motor driver board for a 6V motor and a suitable microcontroller. The original Lockitron website offers insights for compatibility checks with your existing locks.
