The purpose of this project is to create a micro-controller based Digital Code Lock that serves the purpose
of security. Security is a prime concern in our day-today life. Everyone wants to be as much secure as
possible. “Electrically Pass code lock design using Microcontroller” is used in the places where we need
more security. The microcontroller based Digital Code Lock is an access control system that allows only
authorized persons to access a restricted area. This password based door security system provides security
to houses or offices and protects assets from being damaged by unauthorized parties. As conventional
security system does not use any password, the chance of getting access to a protected entrance most
probably possible. This system is composed of the microcontroller, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Key
pad and a stepper motor.
Microcontroller is used to provide the authentication to a user by the means of the entered password. It
can also use to secure lockers and other protective doors. An access control for doors forms a vital link in
a security chain. The microcontroller based digital lock for Doors is an access control system that allows
only authorized persons to access a restricted area. The system will allow you to preset a password. The
lock will open if and only if the entered password matches the preset one. If the entered password is
wrong a buzzer will be activated. When, we enter password is equals with the password stored in the
memory then the door is opened. If we enter a wrong password then the Access will be denied.
Generally, the micro controller based digital lock is an access control system that allows only authorized
persons to access a restricted area, this system is best suitable for corporate offices and home security.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Smart home is one of the recent fields in the context of computer science. The paper named as “Remote
mobile control of home appliances” by Rifat Shahriyar, Enamul Howqua, S.M. Sohan, and Iftekhar Naim
depicts on the home controlling using WAP protocol. Smart home was one of the types of system
equipped with home appliances which where control home appliances smartly from anywhere. Some
products are commercially available which allow remote home appliance controlling through internet
which is undoubtedly emerging. But it lacks the true sense of real mobility and security. The architecture

mentioned by them is much complex but it gives an initial idea about the microcontroller based electronic
door lock design. Smart home study sometimes affected by the concern about the possible harm on house,
their work was not secured home. Here in our case we are going to design password based electronic door
lock.
Password based door security system is normally a key less locking system. That is fixed on doors to
control access of the system. Unlike the traditional or mechanical locks that need key to open the lock by
turning to get access, doors which use code locks require the user to enter a numeric sequence or
password on a key pad to facilitate enter. These special keys usually require the additional use of
electronic circuitry. The advantage of code lock over traditional key system is that, if we apply code lock
for a large office, each employee can be told the code number without having to supply a key to each
person as in the case of traditional/mechanical locks. However, if the code number or the password is
learned by someone outside the desired group or is not changed regularly, it could allow easy access to a
potential intruder. Password locks, while generally safe from the attacks to which their mechanical
counterparts are prone such as used of master keys and physical attacks, they suffer from their own set of
flaws.
This project is about the electronic code lock, which is designed to respond to an electronic logic signal
mechanism, with a digit sequence counter performing the function of a key. They are operated by
inputting the correct code by external means through a keypad into a microcontroller which already have
a pin number in its EEPROM memory (internal) to compare with, so that if it is correct (that is the pin
number inputted by the user), It activates the port to which the LED is connected (the load that represents
the door). Else it activates an audio alarm to alert security men or authorized user whenever there is an
intrusion from unauthorized users. Generally, in our case the security is going to be improves.
CHAPTER THREE
3. METHODOLOGY
In the first stage of conducting the project we are going to search for reading materials. And we determine
the appropriate problem identification. As well as we check our preceding work identify the objective and
significance project before our next step. And we draw the right system design and description.
