ABSTRACT

This paper presents the development and implementation of a Biometric Based Door Lock System that will automatically unlock a door when a registered fingerprint is sensed. The method employed in accomplishing this involves the use of a fingerprint scannerR305 interfaced with ATMEGA 328 Arduino microcontroller to actuate the locking and unlocking process of a door. Once a registered finger print is placed on the sensor, access is granted to the user, the door slides open and it closes after five seconds. During this process, the 16×2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) displays the name of the individual with the registered fingerprint. If an unregistered fingerprint is sensed, access is denied. The developed Biometric Based Door Lock System was tested and it functioned in line with the desired objectives.
