5.18 Limited Use/Vendor Keys
Limited Use keys are for vendors whose product and service companies help keep your property running
smoothly or staff members and potential residents who may wish to view a unit or common access area.
A vendor might provide pool-cleaning services, sending one or more employees to your property on a
regular basis. A vendor might also provide a one-time service, such as a plumber replacing a broken pipe
in a resident’s shower.
Limited Use keys provide access to a designated area (or areas) for a limited period of time that you
define as you create the key. The Limited Use key can be programmed to provide access to a single
location – such as a specific common access area or one specific unit – or up to 20 units per key.
Rather than provide a Master key to a vendor – giving him or her access to more areas than necessary –
you can create a vendor key, also known as a Limited Use key. Limited Use keys provide access for a
specific vendor to a designated area (or areas) for a finite period of time, up to 24 hours.
Before creating Limited Use keys, it is highly recommended that you register the specific vendor, as well
as that vendor’s employee(s), in the SAM RF System. This will allow you to assign Limited Use keys
appropriately and to track these keys if necessary later.
