is that metal bracket galvanized?? if possible try to avoid galvanized, it tends to rust fairly quickly(you know dissimilar metals and all), if you can't find idonized brackets from your local hobby shop, try some rustoleoum on the bracket before mounting; and after everything is the way you want it to be...grease it. it'll keep the moisture out, therefore minimizing the chances of rusting.

if the room is that critical, try the approach (pic)above... bare with me...it works. because it is 50lb of "pull" your door handle mechanism might not require all that pressure, so keeping the cable taut might not be so encouraged. drop an email if you run into complications

It's better to ask a "STUPID" question...than to know a "STUPID" answer. :-)

Thanks for all the help guys, especially you demeanor. I got the pic in the e-mail... You got mad Microsoft Paint skills yo!!! Autoloc Solenoid Problems - Page 2 -- posted image.

I thought about a pulley system at first, but I did some searching and found a picture of a bracket made out of some 0.125" x 1.25" x 8" flat metal with predrilled holes. I ended up going to Home Depot to get some and I just got done with the bracket. It works great, plenty of clearance, and hopefully won't get wet, but just in case I'm going to grease it up. It's also no longer sitting with the lever up, so there is no real entry for water to go. I'll just put some liquid electrical tape over the positive terminal so it doesn't get wet.

I haven't tried to save the other solenoid yet, but hopefully I can. Otherwise, I'll probably get the one from summit or I'll keep my eye on ebay. I should be getting a digital camera in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for some pictures of my brackets. :)
