Password Based Door Lock System
Password Based Door Lock System
Basic concept
Traditional lock systems using mechanical lock and key
mechanism are being replaced by new advanced techniques of
locking system. These techniques are an integration of
mechanical and electronic devices and highly intelligent. One of
the prominent features of these innovative lock systems is their
simplicity and high efficiency. Such an automatic lock system
consists of electronic control assembly which controls the output
load through a password. This output load can be a motor or a
lamp or any other mechanical/electrical load. Here we develop an
electronic code lock system using 8051 microcontroller, which
provides control to the actuating the load. It is a simple embedded
system with input from the keyboard and the output being
actuated accordingly. This system demonstrates a password
based door lock system wherein once the correct code or
password is entered, the door is opened and the concerned
person is allowed access to the secured area. Again if another
person arrives it will ask to enter the password. If the password is
wrong then door would remain closed, denying the access to the
person.
Functions of components
1. Keypad
A 4x4 keypad is used to provide the input password to the system.
This keypad is used to provide the 4 digit password and hence acts
as a input source .
2. Microcontroller
It has a main function of using the input provided to control the
output load which is a motor. It provides the current supply to the
motor when the password is correct .This current supply makes
the motor rotate which in turn operates the door which is connected
to it.
3. LCD(16 x 2)
The liquid crystal display operates as a user interface , it shows the
messages for the user to make its job easy .
