Access by Appointment (ABA) requires REALTORS® to have an appointment in the SentriKey® Real Estate system to access a listing. ABA can be managed by using the SentriKey® Real Estate website or the SentriKey® Real Estate (SKRE) app. 

When a listing is designated ABA, all access to that listing thereafter will require the listing agent to schedule an appointment for the access. When a listing is marked as ABA, only the listing agent can access the lockbox without an appointment. ABA is enabled on a listing basis not on a lockbox basis. Access to a listing with ABA enabled will only happen via the SentriKey® Real Estate mobile app. If a SentriLock user from a neighboring association has reciprocal access and would like to access your listing, they would simply use the SentriKey® Real Estate mobile app. 

For ABA to work efficiently, Call Before Showing (CBS) can no longer be used at the lockbox. ABA is a more robust way of controlling secured access to listings. It provides members the enhanced sense of security that CBS does, along with the added benefits of seeing who has been given access. Plus, it has the ability to restrict access to specific start and end times. 

 Note: ABA cannot be enabled until the listing is assigned a lockbox. 

This document describes how to enable ABA and how to change SentriLock settings. 

Turning on ABA Using the SentriKey® Real Estate Website: 

1. Log in to the SentriKey® Real Estate website at www.sentrilock.com. 
2. Click the My Listings tab. 
3. In the Search Value field, enter the listing address and click Search. Or, use the scroll bar to find the listing, then click it.
4. The Edit Listing screen will be displayed.
5. Check the Enable Access by Appointment checkbox.
6. Click Save Changes. This will enable ABA for this listing.
