Re: [DML] RE: door opener actuators

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxx>]

I'll let Darryl answer with the details if he chooses, but let me just 
say that the beauty of his setup is that the compactness of the actuators he uses permits them to be snugly mounted in a very small space that has an ideal
geometry for pulling the latch mechanism with maximum transfer of
force. These actuators really aren't working hard at all. I do not 
expect mine to fail in my lifetime.

As I have attested before, I have found Darryl's solution to the door 
opener problem to be simple, elegant, inexpensive, and completely reliable.
I have nothing to compare it to, but I really can't imagine any other 
approach being an improvement.
