Six-Digit Guest Codes: Contactless Access for Expected Visitors
What Is the Six-Digit Guest Invite Code?
Not every visitor needs a live video call to get in. A plumber arriving for a scheduled repair, a food delivery rider, or a cousin visiting for the weekend can all be handled the same way you'd hand someone a spare key — except it's digital, time-limited, and fully logged. DoorVi lets any resident generate a unique six-digit code from the app and share it with the expected visitor ahead of time. The guest simply enters the code at the gate to verify their approved access.
Generated in Seconds
Residents create a code from the DoorVi app in a couple of taps — no admin approval required for personal guest codes.
No App for the Guest
The visitor just needs the six digits — nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.
Time-Bound by Design
Codes can be set to expire after a single use or a specific window, so old codes can't be reused later.
Automatically Logged
Every code entry is recorded in the visitor log with the time and unit, just like a video call visit.
How It Works
The whole flow takes less time than answering an intercom call.
1. Generate the Code
The resident opens DoorVi and creates a six-digit code for the expected guest, delivery, or contractor.
2. Share It Ahead of Time
Send the code by text, chat, or verbally — however is easiest.
3. Guest Enters the Code
At the gate, the visitor types the code into the DoorVi keypad or scans the linked QR.
4. Entry Point Unlocks
Where a compatible relay or lock is connected, the gate or door unlocks automatically on a valid code.
Where Six-Digit Codes Save the Most Time
This feature is built for the visitors you already know are coming — so nobody has to stop what they're doing to answer a call.
Deliveries & Food Orders
Riders get in and out without interrupting residents mid-meeting or mid-nap. See how couriers get into a building when no one is home.
Contractors & Maintenance
Plumbers, electricians, and cleaning staff can be given scheduled access without a spare key.
Recurring Guests
Family members or regular visitors who don't need a full resident account.
Gated Community Events
Share one code with a group of guests for a party or community event.
Safer Than a Shared Key or Gate Remote
A physical key or gate remote can be copied, lost, or passed along indefinitely with no record of who used it. A DoorVi six-digit code is different: it's tied to the resident who created it, it can be limited to a single use or a date range, and every entry is timestamped in the visitor log. If a code is compromised, the resident can simply generate a new one — no locksmith, no re-keying, no waiting. Guest codes are one half of entry for an unattended lobby. Managing a small building in India with no security guard? Here is how to manage visitors without a guard, with guest codes, a QR code at the gate and a visitor log.
Ready to Stop Answering the Gate for Every Delivery?
Six-digit guest codes work alongside DoorVi's video intercom, so you get the best of both — live calls when you need to see who's there, and quick codes when you already know who's coming.
