How it works

Three steps back inside.

01

Request unlock

Open the app, enter your unit and describe the lock type. We match you with an available unlocker in your building.

02

Verified neighbor arrives

Your unlocker is a verified resident of your building. They confirm your identity and come to your floor.

03

Back inside. Done.

You pay through the app. No cash, no business hours, no $400 emergency call fee.

Why DoorSlip

The locksmith model is broken.

Emergency locksmiths charge $250 to $400 for after-hours calls. They take 45 minutes to arrive. They may not even be in your building. And property managers often legally can't help — leases specifically require a licensed locksmith.

DoorSlip inverts all of that. Your unlocker lives here. They're already home. They know the building layout and which floor you're on. They're there in minutes, not an hour.

Tenant stories

"Got locked out at 11pm on a Saturday. DoorSlip had someone at my door in 7 minutes. $150 vs the $400 quote I got from a locksmith. No brainer."

Marcus T. Studio in Downtown Oakland, tenant since 2023

"I was skeptical about a neighbor letting me into my own apartment. But the app verified them, I could see their building unit, and it just worked. Way better than waiting for some guy to drive 40 minutes."

Priya N. 1BR in Fruitvale, tenant since 2024

"I unlock doors on DoorSlip on weekends when I'm around. It's a decent side gig — I'm just letting neighbors in, I'm already home, and it pays better per hour than anything else I could do. And I actually know half the people I unlock doors for now."

Jordan K. DoorSlip unlocker, 6 months active

No more standing in the hallway at midnight.

Your building has everything it needs. It just needs a way to connect.
