Apartment residents and property managers alike struggle with delivery access failures that disrupt daily life and compromise building security. With an increasing number of people relying on services like DoorDash, UberEats, and Amazon, the inability to securely and efficiently grant access to these delivery drivers has become a major pain point. Locked gates and broken or outdated apartment buzzers leave packages outside, subject to theft or weather damage. Missed deliveries frustrate tenants and damage trust in building management. Furthermore, shared family or roommate access arrangements can lead to confusion or security risks.
The stakes are high. Delivery bottlenecks during peak hours not only waste time but can lead to unauthorized tailgating—unauthorized persons entering a building by following someone else in—compromising everyone’s safety. Physical keys handed out to drivers can be lost or copied without oversight, and once inside, unsupervised visitors become a liability. This problem extends beyond inconvenience, touching on fire safety when cluttered lobbies block emergency exits. Without modern solutions, these issues only worsen as delivery volumes rise steadily.
EnterKey addresses these challenges head-on by modernizing apartment entry systems to prevent buzzer failures, improve security, and create hassle-free delivery experiences for all.
Imagine a resident waiting eagerly for their dinner delivery. The driver arrives, but the building buzzer is broken or outdated. The driver cannot reach the resident or gain entry and must leave the food outdoors. The resident’s plans are ruined, the food cold, and the delivery reward points wasted. Similar stories occur daily in buildings where traditional phone intercom systems fail.
From the property manager’s perspective, handing out physical keys to dozens of delivery drivers each week is a logistical nightmare and a security risk. Keys get lost, copied, or sometimes never returned. Once delivery people are inside, there’s typically no way to monitor their movements, increasing the chance of theft or damage.
Residents also report “buzzer bombing” — when unknown individuals repeatedly buzz apartments to gain entry or harass tenants — reducing everyone’s sense of safety. Locked gates without remote buzz capabilities leave tenants and delivery drivers frustrated, while outdated apartment buzzers with complex PIN codes confuse users, increasing failed delivery attempts.
Traditional apartment buzzers and phone intercom systems are generally wired and outdated. They often break down from wear or lack of maintenance, causing failed calls or missed buzzes. They require residents to answer calls on their phones to remotely buzz guests in, which is inconvenient and sometimes impossible if the resident is away or busy.
Many systems rely on physical keys or access cards distributed without control, causing security issues if keys are duplicated or lost. Shared lobby codes are common but risky as they can be easily shared beyond intended users, compromising the building’s security.
Traditional systems typically cannot integrate with modern delivery platforms, and they offer no cloud-based logging or real-time access control. In today’s fast-paced delivery environment, they simply cannot keep up with demand or provide the flexibility required.
The smart buzzer and smart apartment entry system market is evolving rapidly, embracing mobile-first solutions and cloud connectivity. Temporary PINs that work for single-use or short periods are becoming the new standard, allowing delivery drivers to enter just once for each delivery without sharing permanent keys.
Cloud-based systems allow property managers to audit entry activity in real-time, revoking or issuing access instantly via apps. The integration with major delivery services like DoorDash, UberEats, Amazon, FedEx, and UPS streamlines entry and minimizes missed deliveries.
Contactless, no-hardware-required solutions reduce installation complexity and cost, making upgrades feasible for any apartment building or condo regardless of management cooperation. This shift improves security, tenant convenience, and property manager control, adapting to the modern delivery landscape.
EnterKey revolutionizes apartment building buzzer systems by turning any traditional buzzer into a smart buzzer with no hardware upgrades required. Through EnterKey’s app, residents and property managers can assign temporary PIN codes that are single-use or time-limited, allowing delivery drivers to enter safely without needing physical keys or complex shared codes.
The EnterKey free plan includes five buzzes per month at zero cost, making it unique in the market and accessible to all tenants. This plan alone ensures residents have reliable access for their deliveries without needing to rely on building staff or risk leaving packages unattended.
Remote buzzing enables residents to grant building entry from anywhere—whether they’re at work, traveling, or just in another part of the apartment. This eliminates the frustration of missed deliveries and reduces the security risks of unattended entry points.
EnterKey’s delivery-friendly design works seamlessly with DoorDash, UberEats, Amazon, FedEx, and UPS drivers, streamlining and securing access precisely when it’s needed. Guests, family members, and roommates can also be granted access codes with tailored permissions, adding flexibility without compromising security.
Security is paramount with EnterKey. Every access event is logged in a secure audit trail, so residents and property managers can monitor who enters and when. This transparency helps prevent “buzzer bombing” and unauthorized entry, while strengthening overall building safety.
Adoption costs are zero for buildings because there’s no hardware replacement or wiring changes required. This ease of integration means that any apartment building can immediately upgrade their apartment entry system with modern, smartphone-based access that addresses all the common pitfalls of legacy buzzers and intercoms.
