The alternative to the key lockbox for your holiday rental
Your guests get into the building discreetly by ringing the intercom. No key lockboxes on the street, no codes to look for at the entrance and no neighbour complaints.
The problem with the key lockbox on the street
The key lockbox solves handing over keys, but it creates other problems you already know as a host: it generates neighbour complaints, gives a bad image to the building and the city, and often you can't place it at the entrance itself. Guests get confused looking for it or mix it up with another apartment's, and the keys are left exposed in the public street, with the risk that entails.
On top of that there's a clear trend: more and more cities and residents' associations limit or ban key lockboxes. Keeppe gets you ahead of that problem: it takes up no public space, leaves nothing on show and gives building access in the most natural and discreet way, using the intercom the flat already has.
How your guest gets in
The simplest, most direct access for your guests.
Rings the intercom
The guest reaches the entrance and rings your apartment's intercom, as any visitor would.
Keeppe lowers the intercom volume so it doesn't disturb the neighbours on night-time arrivals.
Waits a few seconds
Keeppe, installed inside the intercom, detects your guest's call and makes a brief pause.
The entrance opens
Keeppe opens the building door, as if someone had buzzed them in from the apartment.
Why it's better than a key lockbox
It solves entrance access without any of the drawbacks of the box on the street.
Nothing visible on the street
There's no box or keys on show at the entrance. Better image and no neighbour complaints.
Gets past the restrictions
It takes up no public space and touches no communal elements, so you get ahead of the regulations that limit key lockboxes.

No physical keys exposed in the public street. No one can tamper with a box or force a code on the street.
You won't lose keys.
No app or codes
The guest downloads nothing and types no codes at the entrance.

One-time payment, no fees
No wifi, no batteries, no subscription and no maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Keeppe better than a key lockbox?
For entrance access, yes: it leaves nothing visible on the street, doesn't disturb the neighbours, exposes no keys and there are no codes for the guest to look for. Plus you get ahead of the regulations that restrict key lockboxes in the public street.
Can I have legal problems because of the key lockbox?
More and more cities and residents' associations limit or ban key lockboxes on façades and communal areas. Keeppe installs inside your intercom, takes up no public space and touches no communal elements, so you avoid that problem. (This information is general; check your municipality's specific regulations.)
Do I need permission from the residents' association?
Keeppe installs inside the apartment's private intercom, without touching any communal element of the building. That's why you don't need the association's authorisation.
Does the guest need any app or code?
They just have to ring the intercom, like any visitor. There are no apps, no codes and no boxes to look for at the entrance.
Does it work if the power goes out or the wifi fails?
Keeppe doesn't depend on the internet or the home's electricity supply: it runs on the building's general supply.
Your guests can still get in.
