Abstract
The password enabled door locking system can be used for households, offices, desk units, etc. The system will check for the validity of the password entered by the user and will unlock only for the authorized users. This system proves to be an optimal solution for preventing the unauthorized entries. The door lock is a two unit system, where one unit monitors the entry of the user and the other monitors the exit of the user. The number of passwords in practice would depend on the user. Each user gets his/her unique 5digit password which he/she will use to unlock the door. With different users having different passwords, this enables us to maintain a log of people who have used the door lock. This log will be stored on a document on the cloud. The document will comprise of the name, time of entry and time of exit of the user. This feature helps provide an added security to the door locking system. The door lock also comes equipped with anti – guess mechanism, where the system is blocked after 5 wrong attempts. The system has to be reset in order to re-use the lock.
