So, all you need to do is call the Gatebot phone number, and then punch in the 5 numbers on your phone, and the door will open.<BR> <BR>Please know that this is not the only way to get into Noisebridge. You can still press the buzzer and people will let you in.<BR> <BR>Also, you can still get in with a key. If you frequent Noisebridge and don't have a key, then ask for a copy of a key from someone who has one and who knows you well enough to feel good about giving you one. (Membership is not a requirement for having a Noisebridge key.)<BR> <BR>Cheers,<BR>Mitch.<BR><br> <BR> </div></body>
