Abstract	This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost, reliable electronic door locking system driven by an 8052 microcontroller and secured through password-based authentication. The proposed solution features a 4×4 matrix keypad for user input, a 16×2 character LCD for real-time feedback, and a magnetic solenoid lock actuated via a relay-driven interface with embedded fail-safe mechanisms. The system operates in a multi-state logic structure with clearly defined idle, authentication, and access phases. Extensive validation confirms a 99.2% success rate across 1,000 authentication trials, with an average system response time of 470 milliseconds. A three-level security mechanism with configurable lockout thresholds enhances protection against brute-force attacks. Energy consumption remains optimized at 1.8W during active use. When compared to off-the-shelf alternatives, the proposed setup offers a 58% reduction in cost and significantly improved customization flexibility, making it well-suited for domestic and small commercial applications.
