'Utility' companies, and I'd include Royal Mail under that banner, often have access codes for entry to blocks of flats.  If they had to buzz to be let in they would never get the job done.

Pretty rare in my experience, I've never encountered such a system anywhere I've lived or regularly visited. The norm is for the caller to buzz all the flats until somebody takes pity on them.

I have seen sytems with codes, not common, also there is often a "service" button which can be programmed to allow access at certain times of day for refuse uplift, deliveries etc.

Outwith these set times then individual flats would need to be buzzed to gain access.

I've seen such buttons but never any which are actually of use. They might have been back in the day when the postie, milkman etc would have turned up before 9am.

Still very much of use round my way.

As I wrote, they can be programmed to suit the times required.
