Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The project is to develop a new mobile app for Door Knob, a company that specializes in home security and hardware. The main goal for the project is to create a user-friendly and secure app that allows customers to remotely control their smart door locks, view security camera feeds, and receive real-time notifications about any activity at their front door.



This will involve several different steps for the students, including:


- Conducting market research to understand customer needs and preferences.


- Designing the user interface and user experience for the app.


- Developing the app with a focus on security and seamless integration with Door Knob's existing products.


- Testing the app for functionality, security, and user experience.


- Implementing any necessary improvements based on testing feedback.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:


- A comprehensive market research report outlining customer needs and preferences.


- A well-designed user interface and user experience for the app.


- A fully functional and secure mobile app for remote door lock control, security camera access, and real-time notifications.


- Testing results and any necessary improvements made to the app.



Final deliverables should include:


- All source code and design files for the app.


- A detailed report on the development process, testing results, and any improvements implemented.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Fixing doors means making them work better if they're not working right. Sometimes, a door might not close properly, or it might make funny noises like squeaking. To fix it, we might need to tighten the screws on the parts that hold the door up, or we might need to put a special slippery stuff on the parts that make noise. If the door still doesn't work right, we might need to move a little metal piece that helps keep the door closed, or we might need to make the door a little smaller if it's too big. And if all else fails, we might need to ask someone who knows a lot about fixing things to help us.

About the company

Fixing a door depends on what's wrong with it. Here's a general guide:

Identify the problem: Is it sticking, squeaking, not closing properly, or something else?
Tighten hinges: If the door is sagging or not closing properly, try tightening the screws on the hinges.
Lubricate: If the door is squeaking, try lubricating the hinges with a silicone-based lubricant.
Adjust latch or strike plate: If the door isn't latching properly, try adjusting the latch or strike plate. You may need to move the strike plate slightly to align it with the latch.
Trimming: If the door is sticking, you may need to trim it slightly with a plane or sandpaper.
Replace parts: If the problem persists, you may need to replace parts such as hinges, doorknobs, or the latch mechanism.
Check the frame: If the door still isn't functioning properly, check the frame for any warping or damage that may be affecting the door's operation.
Seek professional help: If you're not comfortable with DIY fixes or if the problem seems more complicated, it's best to seek the help of a professional carpenter or handyman.
Remember to take safety precautions when working with tools and equipment, and always follow manufacturer instructions and local building codes.
