of the key which forces the other person just to wait outside
until the person who locked the room comes back with the
key. Also, there have been instances when we have lost our
room key and couldnt find it anywhere. These are just some
of the problems that a manual door lock gives us in the IIT
Goa hostel, but the actual number of problems are way more.
Also, there is always a risk of the traditional manual lock
to be broken by a miscreant .So to avoid this problem , our
group has decided to make a digital lock as it provides easy
accessibility to all the people who reside in that room ( be-
cause no single person has a key, everyone has a passcode to
open the lock ). It also takes the possibility of losing keys out
of the picture as only a passcode is required to open a lock
and also, it can’t be broken as it is a digital system . There
are numerous more advantages too . So , we are making a

Board representing numbers from 0-9 . The user would give
the password input on that. The Digital Lock System would

or not. The Digital System is a sequential circuit compris-
ing D-FlipFlops , OR Gates and AND Gates as shown in the
figure above . The Reset signal is also shown in the above
diagram connecting to the D-FlipFlops that would reset the
FlipFlop everytime an incorrect sequence is entered. There
would also be a counter added that counts the number of times
the RESET signal turns high. If it counts two, the whole sys-
tem would shut down which can only be then turned on with
the Fingerprint module connected to Arduino. The system
has two outputs - 0 and 1 .The person entering the password
to break into the room won’t know how many digits are there
in the password. In the unlocked state, the output would be
1 and the solenoid lock would open. If any other sequence
of digits is entered, the output would remain in the 0 state
and reset itself to initial state whenever a digit is incorrectly
entered.
