Beyond Bending Tell You How
Living in an apartment complex can be convenient, but it can also be a hassle when it comes to letting guests in. Most apartment buildings have a buzzer system, but it can be confusing for first-time visitors. If you’re wondering how to buzz someone into your apartment, keep reading for some tips.
Understanding the Buzzer System
Before you can buzz someone into your apartment, it’s important to understand how the buzzer system works. Typically, there will be a panel by the front entrance of the building with a list of residents’ names and apartment numbers. When someone arrives and needs to be let in, they will use the panel to find your name and buzz your apartment number. You will then have to buzz them in by pressing a button on your phone or intercom system.
Prepping for Guests
If you’re expecting a guest, it’s a good idea to let them know ahead of time how to get into the building. Give them your apartment number and explain how to use the buzzer system. This will save time and confusion when they arrive. It’s also a good idea to make sure your phone or intercom system is working properly so you can hear the buzzer when someone arrives.
Answering the Buzzer
When you hear the buzzer, pick up your phone or intercom system and say hello. Ask who it is and confirm that you are expecting them. If you’re not sure who it is, ask for their name and the purpose of their visit. If everything checks out, press the button to let them in. If you’re not comfortable letting them in, you can always tell them to wait or come back later.
Dealing with Unwanted Visitors
Unfortunately, not all visitors are welcome. If you receive a buzzer call from someone you don’t know or don’t want to let in, you have a few options. You can simply ignore the buzzer and wait for them to leave. You can also tell them that you’re not available or that they have the wrong apartment number. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, you can contact building security or the police.
