    To Get Started Initially with Activation and Downloading the App…

  1. Activate your SentriLock account. If you no longer have any of the original emails from SentriLock that contained your personal activation link, call Realcomp at (866) 553-3430 or send us an email at support@realcomp.com and request that the activation link be emailed to you again. We’ll need your Realcomp agent ID# and your email address for this, so please BE SURE TO INCLUDE that info in your email request.
