"Letting them in" is another way of saying you consent. Don't "let" them in... just don't physically stop them coming in.

If you unlock a door for someone but simultaneously say “I don’t consent to you passing through it”, the first act does not cancel out the second. Whereas, if you don’t unlock it, if they really want to go in they’ll knock it down, causing damage in the process. Unlocking it for them is about avoiding damage to property, it is not a form of consent if accompanied by a clear verbal refusal of consent
