 1. ABSTRACT
A remote control door lock is an essential addition to your home automation security as it
adds strong security to your home's major entry points. In addition to that, it also brings
convenience to your Home Automation experience.

The purpose of this project is to develop a remote controlled security door using a
microcontroller i.e. we design a system that allows unlocking/locking of door through a
remote. The remote (infra-red transmitter) transmits a tone using an infrared light-
emitting diode. This tone is decoded by a receiver (infra-red sensor) and accordingly the
door is locked/ unlocked. Both software and hardware for the system are developed by
using microcontrollers, DC motors and some mechanical system to demonstrate the
response of the output and input devices .Thus, it is a means of enforcing security feature
equipped with appropriate management control.

This system is designed to assist and provide support in order to fulfil the needs of elderly
and disabled at home. Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard
of living.

2. Aim/Objectives
The aim of this project is to design and construct a simple model of a Remote-Controlled
door lock system and the objectives is to develop a model that can be transformed into a
bigger project in future, and also to understand the concepts involved in it.

The major aim of this project is to design and implement a remote control door opener.
To achieve this aim, the work will focus on the following objectives:

1. To develop a suitable 12v power supply.

2. To design the methodology using IR transmitter and receiver module.

3. To Interface the remote transmitter using Arduino-uno as the control unit

(microcontroller).

4. To implement automatic Door control mechanism driving dc Servo motor in both

directions
 3. INTRODUCTON
Due to the need to increase the security of life, security systems are used as selective
systems to decide who have access to a given location. From the past times until present,
security locks usually includes mechanical devices made of forged metal i.e. simple lock
and bolt, the door chain, pin tumbler lock, the jam lock and padlock etc. Most of these
devices however have lapses which give an unauthorized person access to where they are
barred i.e. the simple jam lock and pad lock can be forced open or the keys duplicated by
unauthorized persons. Hence they cannot be totally relied on.

So it is imperative to provide a security door, one which is also efficient and reliable; with
non reliance on the key access or any physical locking interface and which is by far less
expensive than their counterparts like biometric systems.

This has led to the design and construction of a remote control security door using
microcontroller. It includes an IR transmitter and receiver to operate the locking device
manually, thereby granting access to the user. The remote control security door finds
application in homes, banks in the field of military applications i.e. ammunition ware
house, industries and ministries, airports , nuclear power plants etc.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Arduino board designs use a variety of microprocessors

and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of
digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be
Arduino-UNO interfaced to various expansion boards or Breadboards
(shields) and other circuits. The microcontrollers are
typically programmed using a dialect of features from the
programming languages C and C++.
In this project, Arduino UNO acts as the main controlling
part. It reads the data from the IR Sensor and activates the
Servo-motor based on the data.

Infrared (IR) communication is a very common wireless

communication technology. It is easy to use and
inexpensive. It generally comprises of IR Transmitter and
IR Sensor Receiver.
IR Transmitter and receiver are used to control any device
wirelessly, means remotely. TV remote and TV are the best
example of IR transmitter and receiver. TV generally
consist TSOP1738 as the IR receiver, which senses
modulated IR pulses and convert them into electrical
signal.

A servomotor (or servo motor) is a simple electric motor,

controlled with the help of servomechanism. If the motor
as a controlled device, associated with servomechanism is
DC motor, then it is commonly known as a DC Servo
Servo-motor Motor. If AC operates the controlled motor, it is known as
a AC Servo Motor.
A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that
allows for precise control of angular or linear position,
velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor
coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It is usually
referred as a simple DC motor controlled for specific
angular rotation with the help of additional
servomechanism
 6. CIRCUIT DESIGN AND WORKING
6.1 HARDWARE DESIGN

The hardware part is designed to drive a servo- motor for the required application in
forward and reverse directions using wireless technology. In the project we control the
rotation of the servo- motor using an IR remote. When the remote button is pressed, it
sends an IR signal which is received by an IR receiver.

Output from the receiver is fed to a microcontroller (Arduino-Uno) which is interfaced to

a Servo-Motor. Thereafter, the switching is done for the servo motor to rotate in forward
and reverse directions (180 degree rotation), thereby controlling the Link mechanism to
open or close the door.

The circuit of the proposed system has been designed using The Autodesk Tinkercad
Circuits modelling program. The connection and layout of the circuit with all the
components are as shown in Fig1.

6.2 SOFTWARE DESIGN

The software is designed in order to support the effectiveness of the hardware device.
The complex and intricate operating routine of the software is achieved by writing the
program, compiling it and then running it. Each section is made to meet the instructions
which will be imposed on the corresponding hardware unit. The block diagram for the
mechanism is shown in fig.2

 7. CONCLUSION
This project “Remote Controlled Door Lock System” provides wireless control and
automation for homes and offices. These are very essential in present life style. It gives
the best solution for electrical power wastage as well. Also the manual operation is
completely eliminated. The project involves an infra-red communication between an
infra-red activated door and our serial infra-red control unit [SIRCU] device. So the home
appliances can be switched on/off using IR without actually going near the switch boards
or regulators. Recent works on smart home is governed by the concepts of wireless
sensors, so this create a whole new dimension of remote controlling by deploying remote
controlled doors at home.
This design methodology offers security of lives and properties. This work will also
benefit the economy as it help to reduce crime rate thereby affecting the economy
positively. Finally, it will serve as basic technology advancement to students in
engineering field of study since it will aid students who intends to carryout similar
design.
