A few things to try if you run into problems with the Electronic Locking System.
If this happens... Try this...
I didn't receive the password email for the DirectKey app. Check your spam folder for the email.
I can't get the Touch ID to work. Make sure the touch feature is turned on in the app and on your phone. Sign out and close the app, then open the app and try again. The Stay Signed In feature should not be set to Always.
My gate/unit/room doesn't show up in the DirectKey app. Verify your email address is correct with the front desk.
The app didn't update my information. Make sure your phone has a cell or Wi-Fi connection.
Bluetooth Make sure your phones Bluetooth in enabled and the Directkey app has permission to use your phones bluetooth
