What happens if someone manually moves it back while the door is open?
  Will that prevent door from shutting?  Seems to me that the solenoid
has to stay energized until the deadbolt returns to the "lock" position.
  In this instance, I think you can configure most strikes that employ
latch keeper and position switches to do this.  The problem is that
you'll have to get one with a solenoid designed for extended duty.
