What is Latch’s package room solution?

  • Latch Delivery Assistant combines a suite of existing Latch products into a 24/7 personalized, virtual doorman & access solution. 

  • We monitor your building and package entrance areas, facilitate access for your trusted delivery personnel, and alert you via text or phone notification when you have a package waiting.


How does it work?

  • Latch uses cutting edge security systems and specially trained service representatives to monitor your building’s front door.

  • The package courier will utilize the Intercom to contact our Virtual Doorman, who will verify the caller's identity.

  • Once your delivery is complete, Latch sends you a notification so you can retrieve the package at your convenience.

We use a highly-trained security operations firm with over a decade of experience to monitor your building.
