So I've been thinking about this as well!
My thought was spring hinges (self closing) and one of these
Then if have to have some kind of battery relay to trigger it and a button or something to release it for normal use...
What's your setup for this?
Maglock+spring or gravity is the usual answer. Linear actuators like in your link have their place, too. Car door power lock kits can do a few things.
Unless you find a really cheap maglock, cheapest might be these electric cabinet door locks. They make a nice popping noise and push the door open on activation. Drawers may have too much friction, though. They can, however, be re-latched, unlike maglocks.
