Im looking at automating a lock like that. Ive not spent a lot of time on it but it would be a reverse version. It would still be bolted into a stud but the "moving arm" would not be on the door and would go through the slot in the track and the slot on the door and would be moved by an actuator that would be triggered anytime to the door is triggered (add a delay to the trigger).
That also depends on me changing the opening system to not use the built-in crappy auth system and rather something I roll myself. Ive worked on that a bit and need to fix some things but im moving over to it soon.
You could probably make a good amount of dough if you productized that.
