Whilst request is not specifically for a motor vehicle, as it is 12v I thought some genius here might be able to assist.
I basically want to unlock a house door via remote control.
So far I have come up with the following
a) Remote relay 12v 1sec momentary output as per https://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=LR8822&CAtid=&keywords=remote+relay&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly= &Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCAtid=
b) Door latch (similar to security door locks on some offices)
https://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=LA5078&CAtid=&keywords=door+latch&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly= &Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCAtid=
Problem: Relay output is only 1 second, and I ideally need 5 seconds to be able to open door.
I do not want a latched relay as there is a risk that the door latch will be kept continuously powered and burn out.
So, is there a relay combination to convert 1 second momentary input into a 5 second momentary output?
Alternatively is there a different remote relay available that can output for say 5 seconds (momentary not latched)
Thanks

There are many ways to do this building a circuit yourself but there is a part available from Directed Electronics (DEI) that will do this cheaply, reliably and best of all EASILY.
Get a 528t pulse timer .
It is an adjustable timer-controlled 30-amp SPDT relay (Single Pole Double Throw). The timer is adjustable from 0 – 90 seconds.You can activate it with either a (+) trigger input or with a (-) trigger input. You can set it to extend the one second pulse to five seconds with no difficulty, its done with a small dial on the unit. It can be wired to put out a +,- or open a circuit...pretty cool piece.
If you don't know where to get one just google "DEI 528t pulse timer" and I am sure a ton of places to send you one will come up.
Hope I helped.
