Home and building security are major concern in our daily life and digital smart door lock (DSDL) have become an essential part of these systems. In this paper, a secure DSDL which can grant access to home with a fingerprint is designed and implemented. An Arduino Nano microcontroller board, finger print sensor and servo motor have been utilized for lock/unlock door based on finger print. The DSDL is an automatic authenticate and validate the user for secure access. The implemented system aims to develop a cost−effective DSDL based on low−cost components compared to the systems already on the domestic market. The−ease of−use and cost−effectiveness makes the DSDL a strong competitor to the digital security system on the domestic market and outperforms it and suitable for security–based home automation systems.
