I am by no means a electronics wizz and if someone can come up with an easier way to do it than a piece of metal and electrical tape then I say sweeet and I will open mine up again and change it.  Hope this made sense. |

Aha, this makes sense. Thanks!
so how many revolutions does the spur gear make to raise the lock latch and to lower latch/push micro switches?
or does it not make a full rotation? (My guess)
