    ON/OFF module to control doorlock

    hey guys.. i live in a country where only 220v/50hz exists. unfortuntely, non of the low voltage modules exist in instead..
    so i was thinking of combining an on/off micro module (110-240v/50-60hz) with a contractor that would be energised by the module (in momentary mode) to pass a 24volt current from an aftermarket adapter (220v in - 24v out) to the electric door strike..
    do u think that would work?
    and if does any1 know how increase the time for the momentary mode to (e.g. 5-6 seconds)?

    I use about 6 seconds to control a gate lock, so 5-6 seconds seems right for your use. But how will you trigger the On/Off Micro Module?

      i don't need a trigger .. i will use it to open the door from my phone app. (i.e. : open app: door ON--> module turned on--> contractor energised--> 24v passed thru contractor to electric door strike.) seem right to you?
      my previous question was will i be able to define the number of seconds in the micro module in momentary mode.???

        No, you will have to turn the Micro Module on, then off. The momentary mode is for use with a momentary contact switch.

          then in case i will use a open/close module and use the time inside to achieve this function.. and i will put it in momentary mode and connected to a push button near the door to use when i am going out for little bit more convenience

            Door control module: The door control module or the master window switch is what typically controls the functions of the windows and the door locks. It receives any signals from the remote related to door locks or window functions.
