How would you write the gate code for this on an address line?
Here is the security gate: https://i.imgur.com/StoW6pq.jpg
The landlord of the housing co-op over here built a security gate this year, and told all of us 100 residential units that the code is 6123. It's logical to me and everyone else living here what that means, it works just like an old fashioned flip phone. So I just put on my address line 2: "Security Gate Code: 6123"
However 80% of the people delivering mail cannot understand how to use the gate, so all the packages and mail don't get dropped by my door.
I'm not sure how else I should put it on my address line 2. "Gate Code: 56 56 12 12 12 34?" Would that be easier? Or am I just getting terrible delivery people?

I hate to tell you this, but it's not that the courier doesn't understand how to use the gate, they just don't care enough to actually do it.
That's what I figure. It's so frustrating. I'm not sure how to deal with this situation.
It's more a fault on the courier system. Delivery drivers are pressured to deliver as many packages as possible so if they spend any extra time that they don't need to they get punished. Entering in a code to open a door and then finding where they need to go is already too much time for some drivers. I've had couriers literally just stick up the "Missed You" sticker without even attempting the delivery.
they stick it on that gate for me. lol. sometimes they get pissed at me because they couldn't figure out the code.
