The document describes the design of a low-cost electronic lock and key system using an Arduino Uno microcontroller. The goal was to create a secure door locking system that is affordable, easy to use, and electronically controlled. The lock side uses an Arduino, XBee wireless module, IR obstacle detector, and solenoid lock mechanism. The key side also uses an Arduino and XBee. When the key is within 30 meters of the lock, the solenoid will unlock the door. Some advantages are better security, low maintenance cost, and an alarm can be added. Potential applications include home security systems and automobiles.
