Security for Property Managers
Property managers operate at the intersection of tenant satisfaction, liability management, and operational efficiency. Security is a core part of all three — and when it fails, it fails publicly. Keyed In has served property management companies across DC, MD, and VA since 2011, and we’ve built our services around the realities of your work.
One Vendor for Every Security Need
The most common problem property managers describe to us is fragmentation: one company for locks, another for cameras, a third for access control, and a fourth for garage doors. When something goes wrong, everyone points at everyone else. Keyed In provides all of these services under a single point of accountability. One call, one relationship, one invoice.
Designed for Turnover
Tenant turnover is the engine of access control risk. Every move-out is a potential credential still in circulation. Every move-in is an opportunity to get the access hierarchy right. We offer streamlined rekeying and credential deactivation workflows designed to eliminate the gap between a tenant leaving and your building being secure again.
Emergency Response That Holds Up to Scrutiny
When a property manager calls at 2 AM because a ground-floor entry door won’t lock, they need a technician on site — not a voicemail. Our 24/7 emergency line connects to a dispatcher who confirms ETAs and documents arrival times. Every emergency call is photo-documented, giving you the records you need for incident reports, insurance claims, and tenant communications.
Portfolio Programs for Multi-Community Managers
For management companies with multiple communities, we offer portfolio-level service agreements with consistent pricing, standardized documentation, and a dedicated account manager who knows your properties. We track maintenance histories, flag aging hardware, and provide annual written assessments so you can plan capital expenditures before emergency replacements become necessary.
