 ABSTRACT

In this digitally dependent world, the security is most concern for every
one of us. As we all are facing the fear of robbery, people cannot keep
their valuable things safely even at their own houses, banks or in any
other places. They are always in fear of losing their valuable things. Old
traditional locking system is not that safe as Bluetooth based door locking
system via password.

Security is a main concern in our everyday life. Each and every

individual needs to feel secure. An access control for doors forms an
essential part in our security pattern. Doors locked using conventional
locks are not as safe as they used to be, anyone can break in by breaking
these locks. We need to make a framework that will give 24/7 benefit.
Bluetooth Password based door lock system allows only approved
persons to access restricted areas.

This system is fully controlled by Arduino. The password can be entered

through Bluetooth connection via using Mobile phones. If the password
is matched with the stored password in Arduino the door gets open. This
programmed password based bolt framework will give client more secure
and minimal effort method for locking-opening framework. The security
door lock automation system promises a bold step to the future where
mechanical door locks will be substituted by electronic door locks."

So, in this project we have work for all these problems and this project
provide much more lock security as compare to traditional lock security.
We have replaced the old traditional lock system with password. This
project will provide efficient security to the users at low cost.

It will be also easy to implement and give safety in any places like our
houses, institutions, banks or any other public places. If the users forgot
the password, then he/she will change or reset the password, which gives
the more flexibility to the users.

 CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION TO BLUTOOTH BASED DOOR LOCK
SYSTEM USING ARDUINO

INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the integration of Bluetooth technology with microcontroller platforms

like Arduino has paved the way for innovative home automation solutions. One such
solution is the Bluetooth connected door lock system, which combines security with
convenience by allowing users to control their door locks remotely via a smartphone
or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

As we all are very familiar with the term “Security”. Nowadays it is most
important to keep our valuable things safe. The world is also growing digitally
dependent, and we can even design the doors to be more secure. We can make these
digital doors by using “Password” which is more secure than traditional lock system.

In this project we have make a “Bluetooth Password Based DoorLocking System”

using an Arduino. It will be more efficient for the peoples in the field of security. It will
be implemented in any places like our Houses, Institutions, Banks and any Public
Places. We can only able open the door if we entered correct password for door and if
users entered an incorrect password, then message will be display or door will not be
open.

1.1: Overview of the System

The Bluetooth connected door lock system primarily consists of the following
components:
1. Arduino Microcontroller: The central unit that processes commands and controls
the locking mechanism.
2. Bluetooth Module (e.g., HC-05/HC-06): Facilitates wireless communication
between the Arduino and a smartphone.
3.Electronic Lock Mechanism (e.g., Solenoid Lock, Servo Motor: Physically controls
the locking and unlocking of the door.
4. Power Supply: Powers the entire system, typically a battery or mains power adapter.
5.Mobile Applications: A custom or existing app on the smartphone to send
lock/unlock commands to the Arduino via Bluetooth.

3
1.2: Working Principle

The system operates on a simple principle of wireless communication:

1. Pairing and Connection: The Bluetooth module on the Arduino pairs with the user's
smartphone. Once paired, it establishes a secure communication channel.
2. Command Reception: The smartphone sends lock/unlock commands through the
mobile application.
3. Processing: The Arduino receives these commands via the Bluetooth module and
processes them.
4. Actuation: Based on the received command, the Arduino controls the electronic lock
mechanism to lock or unlock the door.
5. Feedback: Some systems might include feedback mechanisms to inform the user of
the current status of the lock (e.g., via LEDs or notification on the smartphone).

1.3: Key Components and Their Roles

1. *Arduino Microcontroller*:
- Acts as the brain of the system, executing code to handle Bluetooth communication
and control the lock mechanism.
- Commonly used boards include Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, or Arduino Mega.

2. *Bluetooth Module*:
- HC-05 or HC-06 modules are popular choices due to their ease of use and reliable
connection range.
- Operates on the Serial Communication Protocol, which allows it to easily interface
with the Arduino.

3. *Electronic Lock Mechanism*:

- Solenoid Locks: Provide a strong locking mechanism ideal for doors.
- Servo Motors: Can be used to control existing mechanical locks by turning the lock
knob.

4. *Power Supply*:
- Ensures uninterrupted operation of the system. Battery backups can be used to
maintain functionality during power outages.

4
5. *Mobile Application*:
- Can be developed using platforms like MIT App Inventor, Android Studio, or using
pre-built apps that support Bluetooth communication.
- Interfaces with the user to send commands and can also display lock status if feedback
is implemented.

1.4: Applications and Benefits

- *Enhanced Security*: Only authorized users with the paired device can control the
lock.

- *Convenience*: Users can lock/unlock their doors without physical keys, reducing
the risk of losing keys.

- *Remote Access*: Although primarily a local solution, it can be extended to provide

remote access by integrating with other communication modules (e.g., Wi-Fi).

ARDUINO

What Is Arduino?

Arduino is an open source programmable circuit board that can be

integrated into a wide variety of makerspace projects both simple and
complex. This board contains a microcontroller which is able to be
programmed to sense and control objects in the physical world. By
responding to sensors and inputs, the Arduino is able to interact with a
large array of outputs such as LEDs, motors and displays. Because of it’s
flexibility and low cost, Arduino has become a very popular choice for
makers and makerspaces looking to create interactive hardware projects.

Arduino was introduced back in 2005 in Italy by Massimo Banzi as a

way for non-engineers to have access to a low cost, simple tool for
creating hardware projects. Since the board is open-source, it is released
under a Creative Commons license which allows anyone to produce their
own board. If you search the web, you will find there are hundreds of
Arduino compatible clones and variations available but the only official
boards have Arduino in it’s name.

In the next section, we’re going to discuss a few of the Arduino boards
available and how they differ from each other.

17
Types of Arduino Boards

Arduino is a great platform for prototyping projects and inventions but

can be confusing when having to choose the right board. If you’re brand
new to this, you might have always thought that there was just one
“Arduino” board and that’s it. In reality, there are many variations of the
official Arduino boards and then there are hundreds more from
competitors who offer clones. But don’t worry, we’re going to show you
which one to start with later on in this tutorial.

Below are a few examples of the different types of Arduino boards out
there. The boards with the name Arduino on them are the official boards
but there are also a lot of really great clones on the market as well. One
of the best reasons to buy a clone is the fact they are generally less
expensive than their official counterpart. Adafruit and Sparkfun for
example, sell variations of the Arduino boards which cost less but still
have the same quality of the originals. One word of caution, be careful
when buying boards from companies you don’t know.

18
Arduino Uno

One of the most popular Arduino boards out there is the Arduino
Uno. While it was not actually the first board to be released, it remains to
be the most actively used and most widely documented on the
market. Because of its extreme popularity, the Arduino Uno has a ton of
project tutorials and forums around the web that can help you get started
or out of a jam. We’re big fans of the Uno because of it’s great features
and ease of use.

Board Breakdown

Here are the components that make up an Arduino board and what each
of their functions are.

19
1. Reset Button – This will restart any code that is loaded to the
Arduino board
2. AREF – Stands for “Analog Reference” and is used to set an
external reference voltage
3. Ground Pin – There are a few ground pins on the Arduino and
they all work the same
4. Digital Input/Output – Pins 0-13 can be used for digital input or
output
5. PWM – The pins marked with the (~) symbol can simulate analog
output
6. USB Connection – Used for powering up your Arduino and
uploading sketches
7. TX/RX – Transmit and receive data indication LEDs
8. ATmega Microcontroller – This is the brains and is where the
programs are stored
9. Power LED Indicator – This LED lights up anytime the board is
plugged in a power source
10. Voltage Regulator – This controls the amount of voltage going
into the Arduino board
11. DC Power Barrel Jack – This is used for powering your Arduino
with a power supply
12. 3.3V Pin – This pin supplies 3.3 volts of power to your projects
13. 5V Pin – This pin supplies 5 volts of power to your projects
14. Ground Pins – There are a few ground pins on the Arduino and
they all work the same
15. Analog Pins – These pins can read the signal from an analog
sensor and convert it to digital

20
Arduino Power Supply

The Arduino Uno needs a power source in order for it to operate and can
be powered in a variety of ways. You can do what most people do and
connect the board directly to your computer via a USB cable. If you
want your project to be mobile, consider using a 9V battery pack to give
it juice. The last method would be to use a 9V AC power supply.

How To Program Arduino

Once the circuit has been created on the breadboard, you’ll need to
upload the program (known as a sketch) to the Arduino. The sketch is a
set of instructions that tells the board what functions it needs to
perform. An Arduino board can only hold and perform one sketch at a
time. The software used to create Arduino sketches is called the IDE
which stands for Integrated Development Environment. The software is
free to download and can be found
at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/SoftwareEvery Arduino sketch has
two main parts to the program:

void setup() – Sets things up that have to be done once and then don’t
happen again.

void loop() – Contains the instructions that get repeated over and over
until the board is turned off.

21
 CHAPTER-4

IMPLEMENTATION AND RESULT

IMPLEMENTATION:

Certainly! Creating a Bluetooth-connected password-based door lock

system using an Arduino Uno is a fascinating project. Here’s a high-
level overview of how you can achieve this:

Hardware Components Needed:

Arduino Uno board

Electric door strike or solenoid lock
Bluetooth module (e.g., HC-05 or HC-06)
TIP120 transistor (to control the lock)
1N4001 diode (for protection)
Breadboard, jumper wires, and power supply

Circuit Setup:

Connect the TIP120 transistor to the Arduino. The base of the transistor
should be connected to a digital pin (e.g., pin 9).
Wire the diode (1N4001) in parallel with the lock (to protect against
back voltage).

Add the Bluetooth module:

Connect RX on the module to TX on the Arduino, TX on the module to

RX on the Arduino, GND to ground, and VCC to 3.3V or 5V (depending
on the module).

22
Programming the Arduino:

Write an Arduino sketch that:

Listens for incoming Bluetooth data (the four-digit PIN).
Verifies the received PIN against a predefined password.

If the PIN matches, sends a signal to the TIP120 transistor to unlock the
door.

Android App (Optional):

Create a simple Android app that sends the four-digit PIN via Bluetooth
to the Arduino.
The app can have a numeric keypad for entering the PIN.

Testing:

Upload the Arduino sketch to your Uno.

Pair your Android phone with the Bluetooth module.
Enter the correct PIN in the app to unlock the door.

Remember to adapt the specifics (PIN length, components, etc.) to your

project

23
Results:

Successful Authentication:

Keypad:
Upon entering the correct password (e.g., 1234#), the servo motor
rotates to unlock the door, and a message "Door Unlocked!" is printed
on the serial monitor.

Bluetooth: Similarly, entering the correct password via the Bluetooth

terminal results in the door unlocking.

The door remains unlocked for a specified duration (e.g., 5 seconds)

before the servo motor returns to the locked position.

Failed Authentication:

Keypad/Bluetooth: If the entered password is incorrect, the door

remains locked, and "Incorrect Password" is printed on the serial
monitor.
