The entire building will be switching to a new fob system on Wednesday, the 20th, to enhance security for everyone. This includes both mailroom doors and all other exterior doors (excepting the basement garage overhead door which is a separate system). Canal Place (one) residents received one of the new fobs back in December and will be able to pick up additional fobs next week as per e-mails that went out from Royal Management.
Folks needing access to the mailroom via the exterior door should contact their own management or condo board about obtaining their fob. Signs have been posted in the mailroom to this effect.
Please feel free to spread this information to complex residents who may not subscribe to this bulletin board. Both the Association Board and the management company are eager to have the switchover go smoothly and to minimize any inconvenience.
If we turn in old fobs on the 18th or 19th, we won’t have them to keep with the new in the 20th in case the change over takes longer or is delayed??

The first e-mail that went out about the switch was a bit confusing; the one that went out today is clearer. Residents only need to bring their old fobs to show how many they currently have—they do NOT need to surrender the old fobs, and will, in fact, need to hang onto them for a few days during the switchover.
The idea is that people with multiple fobs have already paid for those extras and no one should have to pay twice. But, to be sure of being fair, management feels it’s necessary to verify the number of fobs each unit holds before releasing new ones.
