Apart from the incidents happened all around the world, improvisations done to do the lockers safeties every year was mostly found are of only in the mechanical way, i.e., lockers were given strength by manipulating the materials used. In order to overcome the problems with traditional lockers, we have come up with an IoT solution with two levels of authentication to enhance the security of the lockers.
