RFID Door Lock Kit with Arduino Uno + Relay
Build an RFID Door Lock: Complete Kit with Arduino Uno & Relay
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a door that opens only when you tap the right card. This kit lets you build that exact system — a practical RFID access controller that many Indian homes and apartments already use. Your child will wire up an Arduino Uno, an MFRC522 RFID reader, LEDs, and a buzzer to create a real working smart lock prototype. It’s security, coding, and electronics all packed into one afternoon project.
What You'll Build
A functional RFID-controlled access system that mimics everyday keycard entries. When an authorized RFID card is scanned, the green LED lights up and the relay activates to unlock a door — just like a hotel or metro gate. An unauthorized card triggers a red LED and a buzzer alert, teaching the basics of authentication and access logic. The entire circuit stays neatly on a breadboard, with code you upload yourself.
What You'll Learn
- How RFID tags and readers communicate wirelessly at 13.56 MHz
- Wiring an MFRC522 module to an Arduino Uno and reading UID data
- Coding conditional logic in Arduino C — if authorized, unlock; else, sound the alarm and light the red LED
- Driving a relay safely to control high‑power external devices like a solenoid lock

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers in ATL Tinkering Labs, students in CBSE Classes 5-10 building science projects, and early B.Tech ECE/EEE first‑year workshop sessions will all find this kit immediately useful. It’s also a perfect hands‑on activity for Smart India Hackathon junior tracks or weekend experimenting at home. If you’re introducing IoT or security concepts to a curious mind, this kit gives them a real, working model in an afternoon.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to start a chat with our AI companion, which understands this exact RFID lock circuit and code. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human help within hours.
Can I connect a real solenoid lock to this kit?
The relay output can switch a 12V solenoid (not included). We focus on the control circuit for safety and clarity; you can add an external lock later once you master the electronics.
Do I need to write all the code from scratch?
You get a well‑commented Arduino sketch template. Our AI guide walks you through each section so you understand what every line does, making it ideal for beginners learning to code.
Can I enroll my own RFID tags later?
Yes, the provided 13.56 MHz cards are re‑writable. The code pattern you learn allows you to add as many authorized tags as you want, turning the project into a permanent room access system.
MFRC522 RFID reader controls solenoid lock. Green LED on access, buzzer on rejection.
