My guess is that a servo will probably be a bit too weak for that. They'll propably need a stepper motor.
Depends on the lock being actuated and the torque of the servo, I have some that can do 4.4 N-m.

A stepper motor would also work for sure.
TIL about high torque servos.
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.
