/* This code works with 4x4 Keypad Matrix, LCD ic, IRF510N transistor and a push button
 * It's a lock where the transistor drives a solenoid lock you can open either with correct code
 * or by the push button from inside
 * The code can be changed directly by the keypad and doesn't require uploading code again
 * Code is stored in EEPROM
 * Refer to www.surtrtech.com for more details
