I purchased some central locking actuators/solenoids to install remote locking to my tonneau cover. However, the locks are spring loaded and once the solenoid pulls the lock back, if you don't open the tonneau immediately, the spring on the lock pulls the solenoid arm back to effectively re-lock.

Can you purchase a solenoid which works on gears or is more powerful so that a small spring loaded lock doesn't pull the solenoid arm back?
