RFID locks aren’t new but this one goes the extra mile.This lock can be controlled via an RFID key fod, laptop or even a cellphone.
A couple of guys used a Phidget RFID Kit, a Kwikset Powerbolt 1000, relays, a PC board, wire, and some basic software, to creat this wireless door locking.But it still needs some changes to become more practical.
