What if I lose my Front Door Key or Bedroom Key?

Lose a key

Upon move-in, all tenants receive a front door code, a front door key, and a bedroom key or bedroom key code. 

Front Door Access: Your electronic front door access code can be found at the top of your MyAlcove Portal as long as your lease is active.

Bedroom Door Access: Your electronic bedroom access code can be found at the top of your MyAlcove Portal as long as your lease is active.


Alcove is phasing out keyed bedroom locks throughout 2023 for keyless bedroom locks. See the following article on how to change batteries on the keyless bedroom lock. We understand that things happen, and if either the front door or bedroom key is misplaced or lost during the course of the lease and a tenant is unable to access their home, we suggest taking the following steps to gain access:

1. Urgent/Emergency Access Needs

If immediate access is needed, call a trusted locksmith company to gain access to your home/room. The tenant will be responsible for the payment of this service. A few of Alcove's recommended locksmiths are listed below.

2. Non-Urgent Access Needs

Submit a support ticket through your Alcove Support Portal. We will get to the request within 48 hours and schedule a field technician to inspect the lock and rekey if required. All lockouts that require a field technician visit will result in a $50.00 charge to the tenant's billing portal.

All keys and fobs (bedroom, garage, mail, clubhouse or pool fob, parking pass, etc.) must be returned upon move-out. Any keys or fobs not returned upon move-out will result in a $50 deduction from the tenant's security deposit.
