Deliveries
Missed deliveries in apartment buildings almost always come down to one thing: the courier buzzed, and nobody could answer. Enterkey removes that single point of failure — arm a delivery key and the buzzer answers itself, the courier walks in, and the package makes it to your door instead of the depot.
How does hands-free delivery work?
Place your order, tap a 30-minute key, done. When the courier buzzes, Enterkey answers and plays the entry tone — no call to you, no sprint to the panel in pajamas. The key expires on its own, so the door isn't open all afternoon.
For daily delivery windows, a recurring schedule covers the same hours every day, and the activity log shows exactly when each entry happened.
Never had to think about what the box in your lobby is wired to? The apartment buzzer guide covers the panel itself before you hand it a parcel run.
Which parcels does a key actually save?
The ones a courier gives up on after a single press. A carrier working ninety stops waits about fifteen seconds, and the outcome of those fifteen seconds is a slip taped to the entrance and a second attempt two days later, or a trip across town to a depot that shuts at six.
It also saves the parcels too big for a lobby cubby, the ones a building will not hold overnight, and anything you would rather not leave stacked beside a door that faces the street.
Restaurant orders run on a much shorter clock and get their own walkthrough on the food delivery page.
How it works, step by step
Make a key named for the job
Create a key called Deliveries and give it 30 minutes. Naming it after the job means you can arm it from the dashboard without reading the screen.
Arm it when tracking says out for delivery
One tap. A countdown shows how much of the window is left, so the entrance is never quietly answering itself hours after the parcel landed.
The courier buzzes your unit and gets in
Enterkey picks up the panel and plays your building's entry tone. Nothing rings your phone, and the carrier keeps moving through their route.
The window closes without you
At 30 minutes the key expires and buzzes go back to ringing your phone. No armed state is left behind because you forgot about it.
Check the log if something goes astray
The activity log keeps the time of each entry and which key opened the door, which is enough to tell a carrier their driver really did get inside the building.
Frequently asked questions
What if the courier turns up after my key expires?
The buzzer behaves the way it always has: the call forwards to your phone and you let them in with a tap.
If your carrier is unpredictable, a 12-hour key or a weekday schedule covers the whole delivery window instead of making you guess the hour.
Does this get the parcel to my apartment door?
It gets the courier through the entrance. Whether they carry it up or leave it in the lobby is the carrier's own policy, exactly as it is when you buzz them in by phone.
What Enterkey removes is the reason couriers give up in the first place, which is that nobody answered.
What about a parcel that needs a signature?
Someone still has to sign it. A key opens a building entrance, not the paperwork, so signature-required items need a person at home or a redirect to a pickup point.
Everything that does not need a signature is what keys are for.
Can my roommate arm the delivery key as well?
Yes. Shared access puts the whole unit on the same buzzer, so whoever placed the order arms the key from their own phone rather than texting the person who happens to be home.
One tap before the courier arrives beats a second delivery attempt three days later.
