Group 5 Katelynn & Amanda Car Locks

There are many ways to unlock car doors:


 * With a key
 * By pressing the unlock button inside the car
 * By using the combination lock on the outside of the door
 * By pulling up the knob on the inside of the door
 * With a keyless-entry remote control
 * By a signal from a control center

Power locks work by sending power to the actuators but cars with more complex systems the body controller decides when to do the unlocking. the body controller is a computer in your car,the body controller monitors all possible sources of a unlock or lock signal it also monitors a door mounted touch pad that unlocks the doors when a correct code is entered and a radio frequency that unlocks your doors when it receives the correct digital code from the radio transmitter in your key fob.

the power door lock actuator is located in the car door the actuator which works with the door handle moves the latch up. To unlock the door, the body controller supplies power to the door-lock actuator for a timed interval. inside the actuator the rack converts rotational motion into linear motion that is needed to unlock your door

if you ever lock yourself out of your car, a vertical motion from either the knob on the door or the power-lock actuator is all that's needed to turn the lock and open the door.

-Door locks in an automobile are a twin magnetic reversible mechanism.These mechanisms use opposing electromagnets with a pole piece in the middle. By using a reversible switch and applying power to either electro magnet, the pole piece will be pulled toward the actuated side.

script: there are many ways to unlock your car one includes sending radio waves and frequency's through the air another converts motions inside the actuator and so on. if you ever lock yourself out of your car, a vertical motion from either the knob on the door or the power-lock actuator is all that's needed to turn the lock and open the door.
