INTRODUCTION
The increasing need for enhanced security in residential and commercial settings has led
to the development of advanced access control systems. Traditional mechanical locks, while
prevalent, often fall short in providing the desired level of security and convenience. They are
susceptible to issues such as lost keys, unauthorized duplication, and lack of remote monitoring
capabilities. To address these challenges, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into door
lock systems offers a promising solution. The motivation behind this study is to design a smart door
lock system that leverages multiple authentication methods keypad password entry and Radio-
Frequency Identification (RFID) to enhance security and user flexibility. By incorporating the ESP8266
microcontroller, the system can connect to the internet, enabling real-time monitoring and remote
control of the lock status. This approach aims to provide a robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective
solution for modern access control needs.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The goal of this project is to research and analyze a suitable collection of components for
developing a smart door lock using Arduino that provides excellent security and quick access.
The following are the specific project goals
Familiarity with a smart door locking system based on a microcontroller.
Using Arduino to create a simple and smart door locking system.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed IoT-based smart lock system integrates keypad password authentication,
RFID access control, and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module for real-time monitoring and remote access
control. The system enhances security by allowing users to unlock the door using either a password
entered on a keypad or an RFID card authenticated against stored credentials in a microcontroller,
such as an Arduino or ESP32. If the authentication is successful, the solenoid lock disengages,
granting access; otherwise, the system remains locked and may trigger an alert in case of repeated
failed attempts.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The ESP8266 module enables IoT functionality by transmitting real-time lock status
updates to a cloud-based server, allowing users to monitor access logs and remotely control the lock
via a mobile app or web interface. The system ensures multi-layer security, reducing unauthorized
access while providing the convenience of keyless entry. Additionally, real-time notifications inform
users of any attempted access, making it suitable for smart home applications. The lock operates with
low power consumption and can be seamlessly integrated with other IoT devices for an advanced
home automation system. This methodology offers a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient solution for
modern access control needs.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The proposed IoT-based smart lock system integrates keypad password authentication,
RFID access control, and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module for remote monitoring and real-time control. The
system enhances security by ensuring only authorized users can access the door while enabling
remote lock status tracking.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS
1. Keypad (Password Authentication)
Users enter a predefined password on the keypad to gain access.
If the password is correct, the lock is opened.
If incorrect, access is denied, and an alert is triggered.
2. RFID Module Enables keyless entry using an RFID card or key fob.
The system verifies the RFID tag against stored values in the microcontroller.
If authenticated, the lock opens.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS
3. ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module Provides IoT connectivity for remote monitoring.
Sends real-time lock status updates to a cloud-based server or mobile app.
Allows remote locking/unlocking via a web or mobile interface.
4. Microcontroller (Arduino/ESP32)
Manages authentication and controls communication between the keypad, RFID module, and
Wi-Fi module.
Activates or deactivates the servo motor based on authentication.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS
5. Servo Motor
Controls the physical locking/unlocking of the door.
Upon successful authentication, the servo motor rotates to unlock the door.
If authentication fails, the servo remains locked in its initial position.
6. OLED/LCD Display
Displays lock status such as "Access Granted," "Invalid Password," or "Lock Engaged."
HARDWARE COMPONENTS
7. Buzzer (Security Alert System)
Provides audible feedback for system events.
Short beep: Confirms successful access.
Continuous alarm: Triggers in case of multiple incorrect attempts or unauthorized access.
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
1. Embedded C
2. Arduino 1.8.13

CONCLUSION
A smart lock system utilizing IoT, keypad, RFID, and ESP8266 offers a significant
advancement in home security and convenience. By combining multiple authentication methods
(keypad and RFID), remote monitoring capabilities, and wireless communication, this system
enhances traditional locking mechanisms.
The ESP8266 acts as the central control unit, seamlessly integrating the keypad, RFID
reader, and lock mechanism. This allows for real-time monitoring of the lock's status and enables
remote control through a mobile application or web interface, providing users with unprecedented
flexibility.
FUTURE SCOPE
The future of smart lock systems using IoT is poised for significant advancements,
integrating artificial intelligence, enhanced security features, and seamless automation. AI and
machine learning will enable facial recognition, behavioral authentication, and voice-based access,
making smart locks more secure and user-friendly. Additionally, blockchain technology could provide
decentralized authentication, ensuring that access logs remain tamper-proof. Biometric
authentication, such as fingerprint and retina scanning, will add an extra layer of security, while cyber
security enhancements, including end-to-end encryption and intrusion detection systems, will prevent
hacking attempts
FUTURE SCOPE
Furthermore, energy efficiency will be a key focus, with innovations such as solar-powered
smart locks and battery-free designs utilizing kinetic energy or wireless power transfer. The
applications of smart locks will extend beyond homes to smart cities, corporate offices, public lockers,
and high-security zones, ensuring secure access control for various sectors. As IoT continues to
evolve, smart locks will become more intelligent, secure, and interconnected, revolutionizing access
management and enhancing convenience while prioritizing security
