This simple circuit is the electronic version of the combination lock. Using the special purpose LS7220 digital lock IC, the circuit allows a 4 digit combination of your choice to activate a relay for a set period of time. This relay can then be used to trigger a lock solenoid, enable a starter button, open a motorized door, or many other tasks that require a momentary signal.

Notes

  1. To set the combination, wire the appropriate switches to U1 pins 3, 4, 5 and 6 using the header. For example if S1 was connected to pin 3, S2 to pin 4, S3 to pin 5 and S4 to pin 6, the combination would be 1,2,3,4. Now wire all other unused switches across the header to pin 2 of U1. In this way you can create any 4 digit combination you want. Pin 2 is the reset pin, so connecting all unused keys to it assures that the entire combination must be reentered if an incorrect key is pressed.
  2. When the appropriate combination is entered, the relay is activated for a period of time determined by C1. The 1uF capacitor specified in the parts list will result in an on-time of roughly 5 seconds. Increase the value of C1 to increase this time.
  3. An easy way to make a keypad is to buy 12 PC board mount pushbuttons and then etch a PC board so that the buttons are in 4 rows of 3, similar to a telephone keypad. Place this in a case and then use a label maker or transfer letters to add your numbers to the tops of the pushbuttons. You can also use a pre made keypad but keep in mind that you need a pad which provides an output for each key. Most pads available have the keys connected to provide a row and column signal when they are pressed.

If i was to put a switch and jumper cable before C1, will this allow me to keep the relay active permanently when the switch is set to bypass (valet mode)? I basically want to have a set up where i punch the code in as normal to activate the relay then after X number of seconds the relay will deactivate Then at certain times like for car servicing i want to punch the code in and keep the relay active permanently so i dont have to give the code to the service manager? hope you can under stand where i am coming from? C|heers, Mike.

you can do something similar by connecting the 1st button to the s pin of a SR flip flop. Take the Q output and use an AND gate to combine it with the next button and run the output to another S pin. then using the Q bar outputs use not or nor gates to get a number of high outputs which you can AND together

They can also be found on ebay for a reasonable price. There is a kit there that does something similar to this
