Simple Security Code Lock Circuit

The circuit described here is an electronic combination Security Code Lock. It opens only when you press four keys in the correct sequence (referred to as a code) out of a total of eight keys installed at your entrance door. If you press the wrong key sequence, the circuit resets, and the lock will not open. The author’s prototype is shown in Fig. 1.
