Policy Statement

Opening Businesses and Offices

I do not open exterior doors on businesses. I will open offices if you have picture ID and your name (first and last) is clearly printed on the door, e.g. a doctor’s or a lawyer’s office. I will open interior doors if the business is open and the person ordering the work has picture ID and is acknowledged by the others as their boss.

  Picture ID
    Driver’s License, US or Foreign
Passport, US or Foreign
US Military ID
College ID
Credit Card with Photo




Opening Residences

I will open a residence if you have both picture ID and proof of residency. The same document, like a driver’s license, may satisfy both requirements. Interior doors do not require any documentation, only exterior doors.

You must have these documents outside the house. I tape record the telephone conversation, specifically the part where you say you have picture ID and proof of residency with you outside the house. Saying "yeah, yeah, I've got whatever you need" on the phone does not rid you of this question. I am going to ask again when I get there and you have to actually have this documentation.

  Picture ID
    Driver’s License, US or Foreign
Passport, US or Foreign
US Military ID
College ID
Credit Card with Photo

  Proof of Residency
Must have both your name and the address printed on it.
    Driver’s License
Vehicle Registration
Vehicle Insurance
Loan Documents
Any pre-printed document from a big company, e.g. a utility bill.
Listed Telephone Number (this only works for houses. Directory Assistance never has apartment numbers.)


Pet sitters must work for a professional pet-sitting company with a pre-printed form signed by the homeowner stating that they are allowed in the house and giving its address.  A hand-written note explaining what to feed the animals is NOT sufficient.  Teenage girls crying on the phone because they were supposed to feed their neighbor’s dog and they locked themselves out are sad but – sorry – rules are rules.



Opening Vehicles

You must have picture ID if the vehicle is parked in a public place. If your picture ID is locked in the car, then someone else must show their ID to vouch for you. You do not have to prove that you own the vehicle. That would be impossible, since everybody keeps their registration in their glove box, not in their wallet. If it is a commercial vehicle that is full of valuable equipment, then I will want to see a business card or some evidence that you work for that company.

Opening Padlocks and Steering Wheel Locks

If the padlock is on a gate, shed, or bicycle, then it must be on your property. If this is a house, then being inside the house is sufficient – you don’t need to show any documentation. If the padlock belongs to someone else (e.g. a realtor’s lockbox or a utility company’s equipment), then I cannot open it even if it is on your property.

If it is a steering wheel lock or the padlock is on a vehicle (e.g. a toolbox), then you must have the same documentation that you would if I were making an ignition key.

If a bicycle is chained to a bicycle rack, I will need authorization from the owner of that property. If the bicycle is chained to public property (e.g. a light pole), then I cannot open it. If the padlock is on a storage unit, I will need to meet you at the office during business hours so the clerk can authorize me to open the unit.




Keys for Private Vehicles

I will make a key for a private vehicle if you have both picture ID and proof of ownership.

  Picture ID
    Driver’s License, US or Foreign
Passport, US or Foreign
US Military ID
College ID
Credit Card with Photo

  Proof of Ownership Must be current.
    Registration
Title
Open Title
Insurance




Keys for Commercial Vehicles

I will make a key for a commercial vehicle (i.e. one registered in a business name) if you have both picture ID and proof of authorization from the management.

  Picture ID
    Driver’s License, US or Foreign
Passport, US or Foreign
US Military ID
College ID
Credit Card with Photo


  Proof of Authorization
    A business card identifying you as the owner
I can call the telephone number printed on the side of the vehicle or look it up in the phone book and ask them to authorize you.




Police and Security Guard Authorization

A uniformed security guard (e.g. at the gatehouse of a housing development) and the manager or secretary of an apartment building, provided that they are in an office that is clearly labeled as such can sign the authorization for me to open a house or apartment. They MUST sign the authorization and show me identification; verbal authorizations are never sufficient.

I NEVER open houses or make car keys for the police. If there are two people on the scene - a uniformed police officer and an person with no identification - then I am not going to open the house. Each of them claiming that I am opening the house for the other one is not a valid argument because I do not open houses for either type of person.
