How keeppe works
keeppe is an electronic device that is installed inside the intercom handset of a home, a holiday apartment or a practice. When someone rings that flat from the street door panel, it opens the building's street door after a 5-second pause. It works with no wifi, no app, no batteries and no fees.
In short
- What it does: opens the building's street door when someone rings your flat from the door panel.
- Where it goes: inside your flat's intercom handset, without touching any shared part of the building.
- What it doesn't do: it doesn't open your flat's door, which stays locked.
- Who it's for: holiday rental hosts, holiday apartment managers, practices and offices.
- Price: one-time payment from €89, with no subscription or maintenance.
How it works, step by step
Someone rings your flat
Your guest, patient or client rings your flat from the door panel, like any visitor.
5-second pause
keeppe detects the call and waits 5 seconds.
The street door opens
The building door opens and your client enters naturally and discreetly.
* The pause is fixed: 5 seconds from the moment the bell starts ringing in the flat. On some systems the door takes a little longer to open, because the bell in the flat rings a few seconds after the call is made downstairs. It's usually 5 to 10 seconds.

Is it right for you?
A good fit if…
- Your building has a street door and an intercom that works and opens it.
- You receive guests, patients or clients and don't want to be on hand to let them in.
- You want to avoid key lockboxes on the street, or they are banned where you are.
Not for you if…
- It's a detached house, a villa or a chalet.
- The building has no intercom or it doesn't work: keeppe doesn't install or repair intercoms.
- Your intercom opens with a touchscreen (a version is coming soon).
keeppe takes care of getting into the building. For the flat's own door you can use a code lock that doesn't depend on wifi, or a key lockbox on the apartment door itself.
How it differs from other solutions
Other devices that connect to the intercom usually need wifi, an app, batteries or a monthly subscription, and they stay in sight. keeppe needs none of that and stays hidden inside the intercom. Compared with a key lockbox, your guest doesn't have to look for any box on the street.
