Hi! I'm new here.
I'm going to a make project called 'VobiLocking'. It's a basic fingerprint door locker. I haven't started to write codes for it. But I'm sure I can handle with that.
There are too many tutorial for my project. But I'll add new features to them. And I'm going to integrate this project for my own house door. At the moment my house door is working with classic Apartment Building Locking System. You are clicking the button at the upstairs. And door is unlocking. And if we are at the outside. We unlock it with key.
So my problem is how to integrate VobiLocking to the real door. Should I just connect the output cables to the door's "+,-". If I need more equipments i have to know them before buying online.
Thank you!
I see a lot of words, but not many details.

is an exceptionally bad idea.

Oh wait i should have told you that I have not started for the project yet... No I said that.. It's in the 'words'.
I'm just preparing my shopping list. I have pseudocode in my head. And I have watched 2-3 different tutorial about this project. Just curious about implementing on the my door.
Just don't. Try understanding security first. Try programming first. Learn electronics first. Then rethink your plan.
Well, a fingerprint module seems top of the list.
Half-a-dozen Unos (so you've got spares for the burned-out ones).
Third party insurance policy, and don't forget to inform your own household insurance policy provider.

Typically any electronic door release system has inputs to which 3rd party controllers can be connected to release the lock. I would expect that if you put a dry NO contact across the input then when you close the contact the lock would release.
Oh, and SHOUTING in your title or message is considered to be rude on here, please don't do it.

Thank you but I'll be very very sure for my house's security. I have some skills for coding, I'm new but not a noob. I know how to use Google.. So coding shouldn't be my priority int this project i think.. Also I have some close people to help me and advise me for that. I'm living in a small town. So it's not going to a big deal. I will check it maybe hundreds time after finishing it. But thank you for your concern :))

There are 2 cables on the lock. They are connected with the main system. So if I want to use my project, should I remove the past connections? If there is a way making it double connection (Arduino and other locking system) can I do it here?
Umm.. you saying it's not safe.. I'll try that way after finishing to be sure (:

Thank you.. I've changed it.

I don't know anything about your particular lock or controller. Typically the controller (not the lock) has an input to which you connect a dry NO contact, you close the contact, the lock releases. I say 'typically', might or might not the case with yours. Get the data sheet or installation manual for your system and see what it says.

Oh I see.. I will try to find the data sheet for it. Thank you, sir!
