#2Why do you want to disable the locking of the exterior doors of your apartment building at night? You still can't legitimately enter your apartment without keys, but observant criminals can come in and force your interior door without worrying nearly as much about passersby.

#3when I was in college, I sublet an apartment where we had like 8 people living there for the summer and only 3 keys to the front gate. I solved the problem of getting buzzed up when no-one had keys by pressing 9 at the end of the outgoing message on the answering machine. Call the apt on the box and if no one was home we could still get in.

A service similar to this was built and, sadly, already hit the deadpool: http://buzzer-o-matic.tumblr.com/.

#8I did this many years back with my work's phone system and an unused DID. Pro-Tip: Make a phone tree. 1 calls your cell, 2 calls your roommates cell, and pressing a secret key like 6 dials your 9 response.

#9Would putting the MP3 on your phone and playing it into the entrypads mic get you in as well? I'm picturing waling up to any apartment building, choosing an apartment number at random, and then just playing the MP3 when someone answers (or when voicemail picks up.)

I wouldn't go so far as to say unreadable, more like annoying. Hopefully he takes this into consideration for the book he's writing.
