What if my employees won’t download an app?

We hear this all the time.

You’re ready to move on from physical keys. You love what Nexkey offers.
But there’s a sticking point:

“Some of my employees won’t download an app.”

Totally fair.

Maybe they’ve got older phones.
Maybe they’re only on-site once a week.
Maybe they just don’t want to mess with it.

That’s exactly why we built Text Key.

You can give someone access—without them ever downloading anything.

What’s a Text Key?

It’s a secure, digital pin code sent by SMS.
The person just replies with their pin code, and the door unlocks.

Simple as that.

How it works:

• You send a unique code via text message.

• They reply to the message when they arrive.

• Nexkey verifies the number and unlocks the door.

• Access is logged and tracked.

No app. No learning curve. No delay.

Don’t Want an App? No Problem.

We built Text Key for exactly this reason:
Access for people who don’t want to download an app.

Think:

• Cleaning crews

• Maintenance techs

• Vendors

• Temp workers

• Employees who rarely come in

Anyone who needs access—but not every day—can use a Text Key instead.

One-Time or Scheduled—You’re in Control

You can make a Text Key:

• Single-use—perfect for deliveries or one-off visits

• Scheduled—like only Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am–12pm

No ongoing access. No forgotten codes.
You decide exactly when it works—and when it doesn’t.

Text Keys Are More Secure Than Keypad Codes

Here’s what makes Text Key better than handing out a PIN:

• Each code is one-time-use or time-restricted

• Every code is unique to the recipient’s phone number

• Even if someone shares the code, it won’t work from another phone

• You get full visibility and a record of every unlock

In contrast, keypad codes can be easily shared, reused, or even guessed—anyone who knows the code can use it, and you won’t always know who actually unlocked the door.Real-World Example

Check the photo above.

That delivery driver didn’t download anything. He didn’t call anyone.
He just replied to a text—and the door opened.

That’s the power of Text Key.
