You will need a switching amp capable of handling an inductive load. I am off to my office, I will dig some drawings out of my compy there and post them in a couple of hours. If you are in a hurry, I have posted them previously, maybe you can find the drawings by searching this site using my name, dunno.

assuming your using the PI Face Digital, you can use the relays to drive the solenoid and you should have no problems

it will need a separate 12V 500mA supply though, preferably 1A

look out for Dons circuit later too to help clarify how to connect things up
