The door alarm system is an electronic device that can be used as a security device. It is an electronic watch dog, because when installed to a door, and somebody touches the door, it sounds an alarm. The unit is built from discrete semi conductor device. It is relatively simple in both its operation and analysis. One particular feature of this project circuit (the door alarm system) is its versatility. The circuit can be adapted for other applications. All the Information necessary for its realization is contained in this project write-up. Chapter one contains the introduction to the door alarm system, Chapter two contains the circuit analysis and component review, Chapter three contains the research and methodology adopted, Chapter four contains the design and construction while the work was concluded with Chapter five.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The door alarm system is an electronic system that gives an audible alarm when the door knob it is connected to, is touched. If the door is the metal type then it will sound an alarm whenever any part of the door is touched. For the wooden door, the door alarm system is connected to the door handle, and hence, sounds an alarm only when the door handle is touched. The door alarm system is represented by a block diagram below. It consists of a d. c. power supply unit, touch point, monostable multivibrator unit, latching unit, electronic switching unit and the alarm sounder unit.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Since the 1950’s there has been a great upsurge in the development, production and applications of semi conductor devices. Today there are well over 100 million semi-conductor devices manufactured in a year. These figures alone indicate how important semi-conductor devices have become to man both for home and industrial applications. In fact, the present day advancement in technology is largely attributed to the widespread use of semi-conductor devices in the commercial and industrial fields. One major field of application of semi-conductor devices in the recent years has been in security systems. These security systems are electronic systems used as deterrent to intruders, burglars, thieves and unauthorized person in a place or places where they are installed. They alert the installer of the presence of the above mentioned persons. One can be alerted by means of audible alarm, siren, bell, e.t.c. or by visual means. One example of such security system is the door alarm system which is the focus of this project work.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The need for having a constant home protection has always been there. But in the recent times, considering a dramatic rise in petty crimes like robbery and theft, the need has been more strongly felt to have a fool proof protection of the belongings and the family members. Home security has come a long way in the last few decades. It was in the hands of a guard who manually provided surveillance during nights in the earlier days, but it was not fool proof as it was only normal for him to have momentary lapse of concentration. This device brought solution to this need. It ensures adequate protection against intruders.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The objective is to construction an electronic circuit that acts as a watch dog. It is used to protect a door when it is on; it sounds an alarm when the door is touched. The door alarm system is an electronic system because it consists of two or more circuit units of different functions working together to achieve a desired performance or goal.
1.4 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The door alarm system circuit was designed to the sound on alarm when the touch point is touched by a human being making contact with the earth.
1.5 APPLICATION OF THE DEVICE
The door alarm system finds application in the following arrears;
1. It can be used as a bugler alarm.
2. It can be used as an intruder alarm.
3. It can be modify for use as a tap door bell
1.6 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
system designed to detect intrusion – unauthorized entry – into a building or other area such as a home or school. Security alarms are used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders. This Touch Alarm Circuit is constructed by using timer IC 555 and few easily available components. This circuit will give alert sound when some one touch the door knob, It is suitable for simple security applications. To implement this circuit your door knob must be a conducting material.
