ABSTRACT
The traditional door locking system comprises of a physical lock and a key, even though this system is efficient it is not
flawless. The major problem of existing system is that it can be easily compromised and it also requires carrying a separate
key for each lock to which access is needed. In large organizations this distribution of keys is a costly affair. The aim of
our project is to create an advanced system which gets rid of the problems in the existing system while keeping the costs
low.

INTRODUCTION
B. Proposed System
Home/office security is top priority of all concerned.

Today there are plenty of home/office security products
to ensure your familys security completely. Security is a
prime concern in our day-today life. Everyone wants to
be as much secure as possible. Home/office security is the
most significant one for every home/office owner either
in an individual house or an apartment. For that different
security systems are available. Those are smart cards,
RFIDs, I-button, password and biometrics etc. An access
control for doors forms a vital link in a security chain.
The microcontroller based Door locker is an access
control system that allows only authorized persons to
access a restricted area.

OVERVIEW
A.
Existing System
The existing system largely consists of physical lock and

keys. The problem with existing system is that the
physical key is easy to manipulate also for multiple doors
one needs to carry multiple keys. This increases the
hassle of carrying multiple keys as well as the possibility
of the keys being misplaced. Physical key also limits the
number of people who can access the particular lock.

The main idea of designing digital locking system is

to provide many modern security features than
mechanical lock. The system has a Bluetooth
Receiver by which the password can be received.
This password should be entered through an
application installed on Android mobile. When
entered password matches with the password stored
in the memory then the DC motor rotated clockwise
so that the door is opened then it will be paused for
some time and again rotated anti-clockwise so that
door is closed. If we enter a wrong password then
appropriate message is displayed on the LCD.
Applications are entrance doors, car doors, bank
lockers etc. Many times people misplace their keys
or accidently lock their door. In these cases it is
really difficult to enter the house. This project is
designed to overcome this problem. Main concept
behind this project is to open a door using a password
entered through an Android application. As well as
turning on the Buzzer when password is entered
wrong for multiple times. To use the proposed
system user needs to install a bluetooth application
and then perform the following steps:
Open the installed application
Now pair the system with the mobile device

using default pairing code.
Enter the password and if the password is correct

access is granted else access will be denied by
the system.
Connect the mobile device to the system via

bluetooth.

THE PROPOSED SYSYTEM

displayed on the LCD along with the time duration

for which they should be displayed on the LCD.
Microcontroller also decides the frequency of square
wave output. The main function of microcontroller is
to read data from bluetooth, process it and send the
output to the LCD to be displayed.[10]
The block diagram of proposed system is as shown below
Fig.3 Pin diagram of 8951 microcontroller
Fig.2 Block diagram
The LCD used here is 16x2 alphanumeric Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD) which means it can
display alphabets along with numbers on 2 lines
each containing 16 characters. It is used to
display the password entered and the status of
the password. It can be used to display the
various options and all the readings that have
been stored in the EEPROM.
B. Description of Blocks
The major blocks used in the said system are as follows:
Microcontroller
The microcontroller is responsible for detection and
polling of the peripherals status. It is responsible for
making
decisions for
opening/closing
the
door/windows. It is responsible for prioritizing all the
devices attached to it. We have used the ATMEL
89S51 microcontroller. The AT89S51 is a lowpower,
high-performance
CMOS
8-bit
microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system
programmable Flash memory. It has got 32 I/O lines,
Watchdog timer, two data pointers, three 16-bit
timer/counters, six-vector two-level interrupt
architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip
oscillator, and a clock circuitry. It is the major part of
the system which controls all the operation of the
circuit such as LCD interfacing, square wave
generation. It also decides the messages to be

Mobile handset
It consists of an android mobile handset having
Bluetooth. The mobile device also needs to have
Page 99
the required application installed. This android
mobile is used to send command using the
Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth Decoder
The bluetooth decoder is used for transmitting as
well as receiving the serial data. The range of
bluetooth decoder depends upon its class. The
bluetooth decoder used in the proposed system
has a range of 10 meters.
DC Motor Driver
This IC is used to convert 5v to 12v which is
required to drive the DC motor, which is used to
open the gate. The L293D is a quadruple half Hbridge bidirectional motor driver IC that can
drive current of up to 600mA with voltage range
of 4.5 to 36 volts. It is suitable to drive small
DC-Geared motors, bipolar stepper motor
etc.[10]
DC Motor
A DC motor is a mechanically commutated
electric motor powered from direct current (DC).
In DC motor, operation is based on simple
electromagnetism. A current-carrying conductor
generates a magnetic field; when this is then
placed in an external magnetic field, it will
experience a force proportional to the current in
the conductor, and to the strength of the external
magnetic field. Opposite (North and South)
polarities of magnet attract, while like polarities
(North and North, South and South) repel. The
internal configuration of a DC motor is designed
to harness the magnetic interaction between a
current-carrying conductor and an external
magnetic field to generate rotational motion. The
DC motor used in the proposed system is of
approximately 100 rpm.[7]
(programmed) can hold data even when the

power is switched off. The EEPROM is a read
only memory that can be electrically erased and
reprogrammed. We have used EEPROM to store
the password of our system.
Power Supply
The power supply gives +5v and +12v supply to
the circuit. The power supply consists of four
stages namely transformer, rectifier, filter, and
regulator. Transformer is a step-down
transformer taking input of 230v AC and giving
output of 15v at the secondary. This 15v AC is
rectified by bridge rectifier consisting of four
diodes, which converts the AC wave into fully
rectified wave. The next stage is the filter stage
consisting of capacitor, which converts the fully
rectified wave into the DC wave with some
ripple. Last stage is the regulator stage.
Regulator removes the entire ripple and gives
pure DC[10]
Features Of The Proposed System
The important features of the system are as

follows:
Eliminates the hassle of carrying multiple keys.
As bluetooth is used for data transfer, the range

can be varied as required.
The application for accessing the lock can be

installed on any android device.
Buzzer system helps to recognize wrong

password.
Password can be changed multiple times for

better security.
Provides higher security compared to traditional

lock and key.
B. Softwares And Programming Languages
Relay
Relay acts as a switch which is used to control
the 230 volt AC supply. This relay will be turned
off if there is no person inside the room. This
relay can be used to turn off the electrical
appliances like fan, tubes etc.
