Attic door in carport...is there a remote control lock I could install?

Question

We are buying a house with the attic door outside in the carport. I am going to have to use that area for quite a bit of storage and don't want someone just walking up and getting in there. Do they make some kind of remote controlled lock so I wont have to use a hasp and get a ladder everytime I want to go up????? All answers will be appreciated!

Answer 1

Yes indeed.  Look for magnetic locks on the Internet.  You will probably want it to be locked when deenergized, to save power.

You will need the lock, a suitable power supply, a switch and wire.

Answer 2

Locksmith shops carry quite a variety of locks.  They might have what you are looking for - maybe something with a keypad to open the lock.
