  • Abstract
    The remote door lock controller remotely unlocks a door mechanism using a wireless remote controller. Such a device is very helpful for people with limited motor abilities since it is nearly impossible for them to perform certain simple physical tasks, such as locking or unlocking a door. Tasks which most of us take for granted can prove to be extremely difficult if not impossible for those with physical disabilities. The device is made up of two major parts: the wireless remote controller, and its receiver which also the controls the door lock mechanism. In operation, the user locks or unlocks a door, by pressing the appropriate button on the remote controller. Also, the door can be locked and unlocked, as one normally locks a door by using its key. A signal scrambler on the receiver/door lock controller is employed making unauthorized access next to impossible
