Abstract
An RFID door lock access control system leverages Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tech
nology to secure access to restricted areas. It utilizes RFID tags, commonly embedded in key car
ds or fobs, which store unique identification data. When an authorized RFID tag is brought near t
he RFID reader, the system verifies the ID and triggers a relay to unlock the door. This system of
fers enhanced security, as it reduces the risks associated with physical keys, and can log access ti
mes, improving monitoring and management of entry points. Commonly used in offices, educati
onal institutions, and secure facilities, RFID access control systems are a cost-effective and scala
ble solution for controlled access.
Introduction
The RFID door lock access control system is a modern security solution designed to restrict and
monitor access to specific areas. By using RFID technology, this system allows only authorized
individuals, equipped with unique RFID tags, to unlock doors and gain entry. This project
combines RFID readers, control circuitry, and relays to enable or deny access based on pre-set
permissions. It provides a secure, contactless, and efficient way to manage access, offering a
practical solution for environments requiring controlled entry, such as offices, labs, and restricted
facilitie.

Description
When powering this door lock, the servo motor activates and pushes the door lock forward. Also
displayed as “Welcome, put your card” on the LCD. When the RFID tag is moved closer to the
RFID reader, it is scanned. In that case, it is displayed as “scanning” on the LCD. Then, if the
RFID tag is correct, the servo motor is activated and the door lock is pulled back. The LCD
shows “Door is Open”. When the RFID tag is moved closer to the RFID reader again, if it gets
the correct tag, the servo motor will push the lock forward. Displays “Door is locked” on LCD. If
a wrong RFID tag is used according to the program, it will be displayed as “Wrong card” on the
LCD.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the RFID door lock access control system offers an effective and
reliable method for securing restricted areas. Its use of RFID technology ensures
quick, contactless access, enhancing both convenience and security. By logging
entry data, it also provides a valuable tool for tracking access and improving
overall facility management. This project demonstrates the potential of RFID
systems in modern access control, making it a practical solution for diverse
environments that prioritize security and efficiency.
