When a Dial a Key member wishes to obtain a combination to open a lock, gain access to a website or network, or many other uses they can simply call the Dial a Key toll free number to retrieve the combination. The automated Dial a Key telephone interface does the following:

  1. The member is identified by either caller ID or by entering in thier Identity Code.
  2. The member is then prompted to enter in an eight digit location number.
  3. If the Identity Code, and location are found in the system the member is prompted for there four digit PIN number.
  4. The PIN number is verified, and if correct, the combination code is returned to the member.
  5. The member can then use the combination to unlock a door, login to a website, network, or other uses.
