What renters use Enterkey for
Scenario by scenario: which Enterkey features solve each job, and the exact steps.
A buzzer only matters at the moments it fails you: the courier who leaves before you reach your phone, the dog walker who needs in every weekday, the roommate whose buzz rings a phone that is not yours. Each page below takes one of those situations and shows which Enterkey features fix it, usually a timed key, a PIN, a schedule or shared access, and the exact steps to set it up.
They all assume your building has a normal apartment buzzer that dials a phone number, which is how most panels in Canada and the United States work. If you are new to how buzzers work at all, read the guide first, then come back to the scenario that matches your week.
Deliveries
Couriers get in even when you're asleep, in a meeting, or out — a timed key answers the buzzer and lets them in automatically.

Stop working the door at your own party — an evening key or a spoken PIN lets guests in automatically while you stay with the room.
Read more →Roommates
Stop being the flatmate who answers the door. Shared access rings the whole household and lets anyone buzz visitors in from anywhere.

Give short-term guests true self check-in through your building's buzzer: timed keys and PINs, no lockboxes, no meeting at the door.

The driver is four minutes out and you are on a call. Arm a five-minute key and the buzzer answers itself, so dinner arrives hot.
Read more →Pet sitters and dog walkers
A weekly unlock window and a spoken code get your walker in at eleven every weekday, with no spare key and no call to your desk.
Read more →Cleaners
A repeating unlock window, a code for the cleaning company, and a spoken greeting get the visit done without anyone taking a morning off.
Read more →Caregivers and home care
Set up a parent's buzzer so support workers and nurses arrive on schedule, siblings share the door, and every entry carries a timestamp.
Read more →Therapists and home-office practitioners
Clients let themselves into the building with a code on the hour, so no call interrupts the session already under way in the next room.
Read more →Small businesses in residential buildings
Tattoo studios, tutors, estheticians and photographers working from home can put the building entrance on business hours with one code.
Read more →Kids and family
A weekday window from 3:15 to 4:00 and a code your child says out loud gets them into the building after school, with no key to lose.
