Roommates
In most shared apartments, the buzzer rings one person's phone — and that person becomes the household's front desk. Enterkey shares the buzzer properly: everyone joins the group via invite link, every buzz rings every phone, and whoever's free (or awake) lets the visitor in.
How does shared buzzer duty work?
One roommate sets up Enterkey and shares the invite link; everyone who joins gets buzzer calls and full control — arm a key for your own delivery, buzz in your own guest, no relay through whoever "owns" the buzzer. One subscription covers the whole unit.
Locked out with a dead phone? A roommate at work can buzz you in from their desk. When someone moves out, the group owner removes them and their access ends that minute — no re-keying, no awkwardness.
Who sees what?
Everyone in the group sees the shared activity log: the time the entrance opened and which key or schedule opened it. Transparency by default beats a mystery visitor nobody admits to.
If none of you has ever worked out why a lobby panel rings a single phone in the first place, the apartment buzzer guide explains the wiring behind that habit.
Four people, four different routines
A household is rarely on one timetable. One flatmate has a Thursday cleaner, another has a dog walker at noon, a third orders dinner three nights a week. All of those arrangements sit side by side on the same account, and none of them cancels another out.
The practical effect is that nobody has to negotiate for the buzzer. You set up the arrangement you need, it runs on its own, and the only genuinely shared thing is the log that everybody can read.
How it works, step by step
One person sets up the unit
Whoever gets to it first creates the account for your address. Enterkey covers one building per account, so this is a single setup that the rest of you join rather than repeat.
Send everyone the invite link
Tap Invite Others in settings and drop the link into the house chat. Joining takes a sign-up and nothing else: no re-entering building details, no second setup.
Every buzz rings every phone
From then on a visitor at the panel reaches the whole household at once, and the first person to pick up handles it. Nobody is the default any more.
Remove a leaver the day they leave
The group owner removes a member and that person's access ends immediately. A move-out costs thirty seconds instead of a locksmith's callout fee.
Frequently asked questions
Does every roommate pay separately?
No. One subscription covers the unit: $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, with a one-month free trial for new members. Splitting it four ways is a house problem, not a billing one.
Even the one-time welcome message purchase unlocks for everybody in the group.
Can I see what my flatmates have been doing with the buzzer?
You see the same shared log they do: a time and which key or schedule opened the entrance, and nothing else.
In practice that answers the only question shared households actually argue about, which is whether the door was left automatic all weekend.
What happens if the person who set it up moves out?
The group owner controls membership, so hand the account over before the move rather than after it. Sort it out in the same conversation as the utilities.
Can a roommate delete a schedule I made?
Yes. Everyone in the group has full control, which is the deliberate trade for nobody being the designated door answerer. Shared access is genuinely shared.
Nobody in the apartment should have to be the front desk for everyone else.
