So frustrating
02.04.08 (1:38 pm)   [edit]

They're so paranoid with security in my building that I am not able to get a second key fob even though I own a 2 bedroom suite.

I would like Mr. Nick to be able to get into my building without me having to be there, but I can't! (In The Godmother's old building it was so handy because her building access was attached to her phone number and not her suite. She let the Godfather in with her cell phone even when she wasn't at home.)

The easiest thing to do would be to tell them that my mother was moving in, so I could get her to get the key. You have to sign for your key, and hours of business are between 7:30 and 4, I think. But she'd probably expect to keep the key!

Anyhow, I called the building manager to ask about getting a key for my boyfriend who would be "staying with me temporarily." I wanted to avoid the move-in fee. When she asked me how long was temporary, I said about a month. She said in that case, he'd be a visitor and I would be responsible for letting him in (and no key). If he was staying longer than a month, it would cost $125 ($100 move in fee + $25 activation fee for the fob). Then it would cost another $125 for him to move out.

GRR!

How can I get a key fob copied!?!?

Unfortunately, I don't...Do Home Depot employees have access to super secret fob copying devices??

Well they have access to the key copier. I was thinking that if you happened to know someone there that they might be able to sneak one in for you. That's what I ended up doing when I had one of those "do not copy" keys. I happened to know someone at the time who was working in the key cutting department!
