If you have some electronic skill you can use espHome on a esp32 microcontroller to control an RC Servo motor.

If you want out-of-box there are several electronic locks that will work.

My guess is that a servo will probably be a bit too weak for that. They'll propably need a stepper motor.
Gears !!!
Read that with elongated syllables, sparkles and reverb
What kind of servo would you use with gears and still enable 3 x 360 degree revolution?
Oopsie! You're right. No way.
