Hello, I don’t the translation of these words in the follwing context:
The door buzzer sounds and John gets it while Kim is her bedroom
John : Who’s it?
Paul : (over the intercom) It’s, uh, it’s paul
Kim : Oh God, is it 6:30? Buzz him in!
So, what does she mean when she says Buzz him in? Let him in?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, “buzz him in” means “let him in.” Traditionally in an apartment, you would press a button that made a buzzing sound and opened the lock on the front entrance so your guest could come up to your apartment without you having to go down and get him or her yourself. We still use the term for the process even though many newer systems don’t actually “buzz.”
Cheers.
