INTRODUCTION

Lock systems have been around for centuries, and traditional lock
systems are still being used today. However, these systems are no
longer considered secure and convenient as they are prone to various
vulnerabilities. The rise of technology has led to the development of
advanced door lock systems that are more secure and convenient
than traditional lock systems. Biometric door lock systems are one
such technology that uses a person’s unique physical traits for
authentication pur- poses. Fingerprint door lock systems are
becoming increasingly popular due to their security and convenience.
This thesis presents the design and implementa- tion of a fingerprint
door lock system using Arduino Uno microcontroller.

1. LITERATURE OVERVIEW
The use of biometric authentication systems for access control has
become in- creasingly popular in recent years due to their high
security and convenience. One of the most widely used biometric
technologies is fingerprint recognition, which is based on the unique
pattern of ridges and valleys on an individual's fingertip.
Several studies have been conducted on fingerprint recognition
systems, and var- ious techniques have been developed to improve
their accuracy and reliability. One study by (Jain, Chen, & Demirkus,
30 November 2006) analyzed the perfor- mance of different
fingerprint recognition algorithms and found that the minutiae- based
approach, which extracts and matches minutiae points on the
fingerprint, is the most reliable and accurate technique.
The use of Arduino boards in various projects, including biometric
authentication systems, has also gained popularity due to their ease
of use and affordability. An- other study which achieved high accuracy
and reliability was by (Martin, 2018).
In addition, several studies have investigated the security of
fingerprint recogni- tion systems and potential vulnerabilities, such as
spoofing attacks. A study by (Chugh, Cao, & Jain, 2017) proposed a
new approach to detect and prevent spoof- ing attacks in fingerprint
recognition systems using machine learning techniques. Overall, the
literature suggests that fingerprint recognition systems are a reliable
and secure method of access control, and the use of Arduino boards
and machine learning techniques can improve their accuracy and
security.

5. WORKING PROCEDURES
Before connecting the components, information about all the
components was studied carefully from the datasheets.
Before the connection of the components, the fingerprints were
saved and up- loaded to the Arduino board. To do so, the Arduino
board was connected to the PC with a USB cable. Then the Adafruit
fingerprint sensor library was installed. Then the enroll program was
uploaded and the serial monitor was opened. After that COM8 was
selected. Then my 3 fingers were placed respectively. Those fin- gers
needed to be placed twice for the confirmation. Then the program
was up- loaded to the Arduino board. Then in the main program, a
program was written to control the electronic lock. Necessary
functions which are needed to perform the whole system were put in
the program. Then the program was uploaded again. Finally, the
Arduino was disconnected from the computer.
For the convenience of the connection work, the whole working
procedures were divided into 5 steps.
First, the sensor was connected with the Arduino board. But before
the datasheets of both the components were studied carefully. The
VCC pin of the fingerprint sen- sor was connected to the 5V pin of the
Arduino board. Then the GND pin of the fingerprint sensor was
connected to the GND pin of the Arduino board. Next, the TX pin of
the sensor was connected to pin number 2 of the Arduino board.
After that the RX pin of the sensor was connected to the pin number
3 of the Arduino board.

23
Figure 15. First step connection of my system.

So here the first step connection was done.

Second, now the relay is needed to be connected with the Arduino
board. The VCC pin of the relay needed to be connected with another
5V pin. Here the breadboard helped for this point. Then the ground
pin of the relay was connected to another ground pin of the Arduino
board. After that the signal pin of the relay was con- nected to the
digital output pin of the Arduino board.

24
Figure 16. Second part connection of my system.

Third, this is the part for the connection of solenoid lock. One wire of
the solenoid lock was connected to the common (COM) pin of the
relay. Then the other wire from the solenoid lock was connected to
the normally open (NO) pin of the relay. Fourth part is the connection
of 12V adapter. The positive wire of the adapter was connected to the
closed pin (NC) of the relay by me. Then the negative wire of the
adapter was connected to the GND pin of the Arduino board.

25
Figure 17. Final connection of the system.

Fifth, now it is the time to power up my system. For doing so, the 12V
adapter was connected to the testing station of the University lab. As
the code was already uploaded from the computer to the Arduino
board. So, after the powering up, the system was ready
to be tested. A problem during
the implementation of the project was finding suitable compo- nents
and their long delivery time. Difficulties were also encountered in
connect- ing the sensor with the Arduino board.

26
Figure 18. Power feeding to the system from the testing station.

5.1 Testing The System

After completing all the connections, the system was powered up

using the testing station of the university laboratory. 12V electricity
was fed to the system. Then the fingerprint scanner started to
illuminate its green light. The lock was in a closed position. So, to test
the functionality, the finger was placed on the scanner, the
fingerprint of which was already saved in the system. As the
fingerprint matched, the lock opened. Then another finger was placed
on the scanner which fingerprint was not saved before, then the lock
remained lock.
This way the functionality of the system was tested.

6. EVALUATION OF THE FINGERPRINT DOOR LOCK SYSTEM

6.1 Advantages:

Fingerprint door lock systems provide a high level of security

compared to tradi- tional lock systems. Each person has a unique
fingerprint, making it extremely dif- ficult for unauthorized individuals
to gain access. It eliminates the risks associated with lost or stolen
keys and the potential for unauthorized key duplication.
With a fingerprint door lock system, there is no need to carry keys or
remember complex passwords or PINs. Your fingerprint is always
with you, making it a con- venient and quick method of access. It
eliminates the troubles of searching for keys or fumbling with locks.
Fingerprint recognition technology has significantly advanced over the
years, lead- ing to highly accurate and reliable identification. Modern
fingerprint sensors can capture even small details of a fingerprint,
ensuring accurate recognition and min- imizing false acceptance or
rejection rates.
Many fingerprint door lock systems offer an audit trail feature that
keeps a record of access attempts and successful entries. This feature
can be valuable for security purposes, allowing to track who accessed
the door and at what time. It provides a log of activity, which can be
helpful for monitoring and investigation purposes.
Fingerprint door lock systems often have user management
capabilities, allowing easy addition or removal of authorized users. It
simplifies the process of granting or revoking access permissions,
making it suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional
28
settings where access needs may change frequently.
Fingerprint door lock systems are typically built to withstand daily use
and harsh environments. They are designed with durable materials
and components, ensur- ing longevity and reliability even with
constant usage.
Fingerprint door lock systems can often be integrated with other
security systems, such as alarms or surveillance systems, for enhanced
security and control. They may also be compatible with smart home
automation platforms, allowing integra- tion with other devices and
remote access control.
Fingerprint door lock systems come in various designs and styles,
offering aes- thetic appeal to complement the overall look of your
door or property. They can be sleek, modern, and discreet, enhancing
the visual appeal of your entryway.
These advantages make fingerprint door lock systems an attractive
choice for those seeking a secure, convenient, and technologically
advanced method of ac- cess control.

6.2 Disadvantages

While fingerprint recognition technology has improved significantly,

there is still a possibility of false rejection. Factors such as dirt,
moisture, or changes in finger condition (cuts, scars) can impact the
accuracy of fingerprint recognition, leading to occasional instances of
legitimate users being denied access.
Fingerprint door lock systems can be more expensive compared to
traditional lock systems. The technology involved, including the

29
fingerprint sensor and associated hardware, adds to the overall cost
of installation and maintenance. This cost may be a deterrent for
those on a tight budget.
Installing a fingerprint door lock system may require professional
assistance, es- pecially if it involves integration with existing security
systems or complex door configurations. The complexity of
installation may increase the overall cost and time required to set up
the system.
Fingerprint door lock systems typically require a power source to
operate. They may rely on batteries or require a constant connection
to an electrical outlet. In case of a power outage or battery failure,
alternative means of access or backup power sources may be needed
to ensure continuous operation.
Some individuals may have concerns about the collection and storage
of their bi- ometric data. Fingerprint door lock systems require the
storage of fingerprint tem- plates for recognition purposes. While
reputable systems employ encryption and secure storage methods,
privacy concerns regarding the misuse or hacking of bio- metric data
remain a potential drawback for some users.
Fingerprint door lock systems typically have a limited user capacity,
especially in lower-end models. This limitation may become an issue
in scenarios where access needs to be granted to many individuals,
such as in commercial or institutional

30
settings. Higher-end systems can accommodate more users but may
come at a higher cost.
Like any electronic device, fingerprint door lock systems require
regular mainte- nance and occasional troubleshooting. The sensors
may need cleaning to maintain accurate readings, and software
updates may be necessary to address security vulnerabilities or
compatibility issues. Users should be prepared for occasional
maintenance and ensure they have access to technical support if
needed.
Fingerprint door lock systems may be susceptible to environmental
factors such as extreme temperatures, humidity, or exposure to dust
and dirt. It is important to choose a system that is designed to
withstand the specific environmental con- ditions of its installation
location to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
While the disadvantages exist, advancements in technology continue
to address many of these concerns. It's essential to consider these
factors and weigh them against the benefits when deciding whether
a fingerprint door lock system is the right choice for specific needs
and circumstances.

7. SAFETY MEASURES
Electrical safety guidelines were adhered to when working with
components such as the Arduino board, fingerprint sensor, solenoid
lock, and adapter. It was im- portant to ensure proper grounding,
avoid exposed wiring, and use appropriate insulation to prevent
electrical shocks or short circuits.
High-quality components were chosen from reputable manufacturers
to ensure reliability and safety. It was also verified that the
components meet relevant safety standards and certifications.
Attention was paid to proper wiring and connections to prevent loose
connections or exposed wires that could pose safety hazards.
Appropriate connectors, termi- nals, and insulation were used to
secure and protect the wiring.
In the testing station, a suitable power supply was selected, such as
the 12V adapter, that meets the system's requirements and safety
standards of the sys- tem. Proper voltage and current ratings were
ensured.
The system components were enclosed, including the Arduino board
and finger- print sensor, in a suitable enclosure or housing to protect
them from environmen- tal factors and prevent accidental contact.
The system was securely mounted to ensure stability and prevent
dislodging or damage.
The future users will need to be educated in the safe and proper use of
the system. Clear instructions will be needed on how to operate the
system, avoid tampering, and address any potential risks associated
with the solenoid lock or other moving parts.
A schedule needs to be established for maintenance to inspect, clean,
33
and test the system periodically. The user will need to check for any
signs of wear, damage, or malfunction and address them promptly to
ensure continued safe operation.
The system's design, components, wiring diagrams, and safety
considerations have been documented in detail. This information will
be valuable for trouble- shooting, future upgrades, and ensuring the
safety of maintenance personnel.
By following these safety measures, a fingerprint door lock system
was built that prioritizes the safety of users, meets regulatory
standards, and operates reliably and securely.

34
8. CONCLUSION
In future, the project can be expanded to incorporate advanced
security features such as multi-factor authentication, combining
fingerprint recognition with other biometric modalities such as facial
recognition or iris scanning. This would further enhance the security
of the system and make it more difficult to bypass.
The fingerprint door lock system can be integrated into broader
smart home sys- tems, allowing users to control access and monitor
their doors remotely using mo- bile apps or voice assistants.
Integration with other smart devices such as surveil- lance cameras or
alarm systems can create a comprehensive home security eco-
system.
By connecting the fingerprint door lock system to the cloud, users can
remotely manage access permissions, monitor activity logs, and
receive real-time notifica- tions. Cloud integration also enables
convenient remote unlocking and the ability to grant temporary
access to guests or service providers.
The project can be extended to integrate with other Internet of
Things (IoT) de- vices, such as motion sensors, smart lighting, or
environmental sensors. This inte- gration allows for automated
actions, such as turning on lights when the door is unlocked or
adjusting the thermostat based on occupancy.
The fingerprint door lock system can be adapted for use in
commercial settings such as offices, hotels, or high-security facilities.
It can provide secure access con- trol, attendance tracking, and
customizabsle access privileges for employees or authorized
personnel.
35
The fingerprint sensor technology used in the project can be applied
beyond door locks. It can be integrated into various applications such
as secure storage lockers, personal safes, vehicle access systems, or
even mobile devices for biometric au- thentication.
As fingerprint recognition technology continues to advance, future
iterations of the project can incorporate improved algorithms and
sensors to enhance accu- racy, speed, and reliability. This would
result in faster and more accurate finger- print recognition, reducing
false accept and reject rates.
Future developments can focus on improving the user interface,
making it more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, allowing
customization options for user preferences, such as adjustable
