1-button lock provides high security  -  03/04/99 EDN-Design ideas (contains several designs, scroll to find this one) Figure 1 is the block diagram of an easily programmed, single-button combination lock.  You operate the lock by using a series of short and long pulses from a momentary switch that masquerades as a doorbell button.  The circuit uses inexpensive CMOS logic.  The retriggerable timer, T1, locks out entries made after the T1 code-entry window, thereby greatly enhancing security.  The circuit in Figure 2 operates as follows: The Schmitt-trigger quad NAND gate, IC 1, debounces the code-entry switch and, with the aid of simple analog circuitry, produces separate outputs for activation times of less than and more than 0.  3 sec.  These outputs connect to the select gate, IC 5 Design by Maxwell Strange, Fulton, MD

5 Digit Alarm Keypad  -  This is an enhanced 5 digit keypad which may be used with the Modular Alarm System.  This switch will suit the Modular Burglar Alarm circuit.  However, it also has other applications.  The Keypad must be the kind with a common terminal and a separate connection for each key.  On a 12-key pad, look for 13 terminals.  The matrix type with 7 terminals will NOT do.  Choose the five keys __ Designed by Andy Collison

Automatic Door Opener with PIC12c508  -  This circuit can be used to operate an electric strike or an electromagnetic lock on a door.  It is not the door being opened/closed, but a small electromagnetic strike which unlocks the door.  The opener has the following features currently programmed in software __ Designed by Peter Jakab

Automatic Room-Lock & Lights Circuit  -  This circuit counts and indicates up to nine persons present in the room and automatically locks the door and switches off lights as soon as they leave.  It automatically switches on__ Electronics Projects for You

 

Code Lock with ATMEL AVR   -  CodeLock AVR electronic combination lock is realized with Atmel AVR microcontroller AT90S2313 or ATtiny2313.  Program in hex code is 2 kB long.  User code is consisted of 1 to 4 digits.  If you buy the chip than user code is consisted of 1 to 8 digits.  If the code is entered in the correct sequence, then after 1 second the relay and the electric striker (in the door) switch on for 1 second and then switch off again.  User code can be changed via 3x4 matrix keypad.  Keypad for CodeLock can be bought at local electronic shop.  Initial user code (1234) is set up with a jumper.  The jumper must be inserted before the voltage (12V) connection.  The jumper must be removed after 2 beeps (after 5 to 15 seconds).  __
