| Entering and Leaving Your Residence |
For your safety, Stanford’s residence halls are always locked and accessible only to students with keys or access cards.
Your odds of being a victim of theft or other crime drop dramatically when you keep doors closed and locked and call police - 9-911 from a campus phone or 911 from a cell phone - if you see suspicious people in or around your residence.
- Be sure doors latch behind you when you enter or leave a building.
- Don’t let tailgaters - people you don’t know - follow you into a building.
- Don’t prop open doors.
- Don’t share your key with anyone.
- Report a broken lock at once to the Housing Front Desk or 5-1602.

| When You Have Visitors |
For guests, Student Housing has installed electronic access devices at the entrances of student residences with interior hallways. Called DoorKing, these telephone-based security systems give residents control over who can and cannot enter the building.
If you visit a residence with DoorKing security:
- Locate the name of the person you are visiting by scrolling through the DoorKing directory; press the A button to scroll up and the Z button to scroll down. The DoorKing directory shows the last name each resident and a three-digit directory code. It doesn’t display telephone or room numbers.
- Use the telephone keypad to enter the three-digit code that appears next to the student’s name. DoorKing automatically rings the resident’s telephone.
To give a visitor access to your residence:
- Press 9 on your campus telephone keypad when DoorKing rings your telephone. Cell phones won’t work for this purpose.
To deny entry:
- Press # on your telephone keypad or hang up.
