Question about Grammar
Could anyone kindly tell me whether this sentence is correct or not. " Please touch this security pass at the door" I can find "to" used in the dictionary instead of "at". Can I use "at" in this sentence?

YasGreen Please touch this security pass at the door. This says: When you are standing at the door, please touch this security pass. I assume it's a card that you are holding in your hand, so you are already touching it.
