I’m trying to design a simple circuit for a small project I’m working on. The idea is to have 2 magnetic locks, one on the front of a cabinet, and one on the back, and make it so that if I open the front, then the back lock activates, and vice versa.
Basically I want a cabinet where, if one side is open, the other is locked. I could probably do this with an Arduino fairly easily by just checking the value of a sensor, and using that to activate the opposite lock, but I was curious if I should be able to just do it with a simple circuit.
I’d love if someone could draw me a simple diagram to help me figure it out.
I’m planning to use a maglock like this on each side of the cabinet:

And I think I’d use this sensor to detect the state of the opposite door…

Can I do this w/o any microcontroller in the loop?
