    Electric door locks (paddle strike) require ~12V at 175ma.

    The L5504AMP can only provide 10V output (not sure what current it can source). Is there any CBus item that can power a lock like this, and if not how would you go about managing this?

    You could use a power supply suitable for the task connected to a relay output of L5504RVF for example or 5101RC.

    And you may want to locate it out of the switchboard to keep the low voltage figure 8 cable it's probably going to be wired with away from the 240v wiring.

    The L5504AMP unit can only source approximately 10mA. It is not intended for your purpose; it's primary use is for driving light ballasts with an 0-10V control signal.
