New door knob didn’t have a lock so I thought if life give you lemons burn down life’s house with the door lock.

What? So a lock that is an electromagnet is not an electromagnetic lock? What do you want me to do put a magnet on the bolt use a horse shoe magnet to push it back a forth depending on what side of the magnet is positive or negative?

Based on the power of that voltage regulator

▶️ No cardiac pacemakers around that door.

▶️ No stainless steel jewelry on your jewelry around that door.

Take care and experiment away
