Digital lock

[Valentine]

I'm coupling a 4 digit lock circuit using LS7220 IC's. Please can someone tell me which electronic key powered by the relay to use and how to connect it. From Nigeria

 

[Chippie]

Could you re-phrase the question to make it more understandable please?

 

[Valentine]

I mean a device that locks or unlocks when when it recieves some current

 

[Chippie]

What is it that you want to lock/unlock?

This will determine the item that is most suitable, if one exists...

It would be most beneficial to all on the forum if you could set out exactly what it is you want to achieve instead of drip feeding information......You are more likely to get help that way..

I'm new to the forum, i don't know how to upload urls. The circuit diagram is on http://www.circuitstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/touch-plate.JPG . Please Chippie don't feel i'm stressing you.

 

[Chippie]

The link you posted isnt a code lock........Like I said in a previous post...tell us a bit more about what your trying to achieve...

The above circuit link although provides some sort of solenoid function is doesnt have any security in the form of a code lock which is what you originally asked about......

i'm sorry, my mistake. The circuit is on http://www.circuitstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/lock-ls-7220.JPG

Nope link gives an error.

The entire schematic for the LS7220 is in the datasheet.

I also have a touch plate and an LDR powered intruder alarm. When they are powered, the alarm turns on first without detecting anything. Is there anything i can do to stop this because, if the system is on and power fails, before it switchs to alternative source of power the alarm goes on. The circuits are on http://www.circuitstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/touch-plate.JPG for the touch plate and http://www.circuitstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/intruder-alarm-circuit-1.JPG. Again the intruder alarm doesn't respond to normal walking pace.

But how does this relate to your original question?

 

[Valentine]

My original question was the type of electronic lock i'll use in the digital lock circuit

 

[Chippie]

What are you trying to lock? a door...?

What kind of door...a car door a house door, a garage door?

Sorry I'm losing the will to live with this one......

 

[Valentine]

Sorry, trying to lock a small safe

 

[blueroomelectronics]

Doesn't the safe already have a lock?

 

[Valentine]

I mean a safe i'll do myself.

 

[BrownOut]

i'll do myself

That's a good idea. Don't expect our efforts if you can't put in enough effort to explain your project fully.

 

[Valentine]

The project is to fashion a metallic box-like safe that will be locked with a 4 digit combination digital lock based on LS7220. The key pad should have 12 buttons. (Actually, i'm coupling the circuit, i'm not the inventor). If the right combination of keys are pressed, the lock opens and remains open for some seconds and then locks again. My major constrains are that i can't see the LS7220 and an electronic lock for it in Nigeria. Diagram http://www.circuitstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/lock-ls-7220.JPG

If you can't get the LS7220 that's a problem. You could try a microcontroller based design but you'd have to learn to program and you may have problems getting that too. Not many businesses will ship to Nigeria.

 

[Valentine]

And what about the Lock, if you don't mind

 

[Chippie]

If the right combination of keys are pressed, the lock opens and remains open for some seconds and then locks again. [/url]

What happens if you dont shut the door before the lock re-engages?

It would necessitate having to re-enter the code....


Not the best of ideas I'm afraid....


The lock mechanism could be a simple solenoid...Can you get one of them in Nigeria?
