An electronically controlled solenoid lock mechanism that remains locked when subjected to an impact type force. The lock utilizes the kinetic energy of a sliding bar during an impact to push on a lever with a fixed fulcrum such that the opposite end of the lever pushes against the core of the solenoid to keep it engaged with a latching mechanism. This prevents the unintentional opening a device to which the lock is attached with a mechanism that is energy, weight and cost efficient.
