# Override Schedule Access to a Door

[Access Admins and Access Managers](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/users-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-for-command) can override access to a door, or unlock a door, for a set amount of time directly from the door page in [Verkada Command](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/get-started-with-verkada-command). This is useful for any situation where the door state in the door schedule is no longer appropriate.

Some use cases might include:

* Locking the door if the security team has departed for a specific period of time.
* Locking the door remotely if a snow day occurs and students are unable to get to campus for an undefined period of time.
* Unlocking classroom doors for school hours.
* Unlocking the door for an extended delivery.

#### Confirm the state of the door’s lock schedule and modify the schedule as needed. Learn more about [how to modify a door’s schedule](https://help.verkada.com/access-control/configuration-and-setup/scheduling/door-schedules-and-exceptions).
