Manual key, in particular face challenges in terms of ensuring  security in laboratories.This study investigates the development and integration of a facial  recognition-based smart door lock system aimed at improving security and access manage- ment at the Camarines Sur Polytechnic College - College of Computer Studies Open labo- ratory. By utilizing the Haar Cascade algorithm alongside OpenCV and Raspberry Pi, the  system integrates facial recognition technology with RFID for automated attendance mon- itoring. This combined method guarantees accurate authentication while tackling prevalent  security issues like unauthorized access and the risk of lost keys. The study also part- nered with a web-based platform to facilitate user management and real-time oversight,  creating a secure, efficient, and user-friendly setting for faculty members. Additionally, an Agile methodology was developed to support ongoing enhancements grounded in user  feedback and testing. By integrating advanced biometric technology with efficient man- agement tools, this innovation not only enhances laboratory security but also exemplifies  the potential for smart access systems in educational environments.1 aRaynes, Cristel S.,eauthor.1 aSamuela, Michelle M.,eauthor.  aLlagas, Josefina H.,eadviser.  aVelasco, Kezia Abegail T.,echair, panelist.  aCortez, Vincent B.,epanelist.  aSanglay, Vencel Angelo R.,epanelist.
