Solenoid from a car door, any car door: are they legal in 2016?

We want to hit a button on our joystick and activate a solenoid one time, quickly, to release the arm in the last 20 seconds. We have access to an old car-door electric lock solenoid and would like to use it. Can we just, "go out back" and take one out to use or must it be tested/certified somehow somewhere? Thank you.
