Key safe and key access systems

A key access system for selectively providing access to first and second keys or sets of keys, the system comprising:

• a. a key safe including:
• i. a key safe door which when opened enables access into the safe;
• ii. a primary lock for locking or unlocking the key safe door;
• iii. at least first and second key compartments for containing the first and second keys or sets of keys, and wherein each of said at least first and second key compartments includes a lockable compartment closure for selectively providing access to the compartment, wherein the lockable compartment closures each include a closable internal door within the key safe;
• b. a remote communications module for sending and receiving data from remote locations by a telecommunication system including a starting access clock register for registering a defined starting time for access;
• c. a localised communications module for sending and receiving data to and from external nearby wireless communications devices;
• d. a request clock register for registering a time that access is requested to the localised communications module by the external nearby wireless communications devices;
• e. a determinator for assessing or receiving data that selectively determines fulfilment of one or more of the predetermined access criteria including of:
• i. selected compartment from the at least first and second key compartments;
• and
• ii. within the allowed timing of the request clock register from the starting access clock register;
• f. wherein the system provides first and second keys or sets of keys and provides separate controlled access to the first and second keys or sets of keys at sequential non-overlapping controlled times to different users using the same key access system and the request clock register wherein controlled access includes:
• i. the system supporting multiple users of a single apartment without the need for multiple keys;
• ii. schedule by controlling primary and secondary access;
• iii. a physical key is only accessible in a defined period and its return is identified and controlled, wherein the start of the access is defined and the end of the access is confirmed;
• wherein the controlled times are continuous non overlapping time periods;
• a. a plurality of compartment closures adapted to receive a digital key and a time access key from a service provider to allow opening of a predetermined one of the plurality of the multiple compartments for access to one of the first and second keys or sets of keys during the allowed time limited operation of a digital lock associated with the one of the plurality of the multiple compartments;
• and
• b. a generator adapted to create the digital lock each time it is in use so that access is available to multiple users;
• i. wherein the digital lock is operable by multiple requirements of a keycode and a timecode with reference to the request clock register from the starting access clock register;
• and
• ii. wherein operative receipt of the digital key and the time access key within the allowed time with reference to the request clock register allows for opening of the primary lock of the key safe door and the predetermined first and second key compartments for access to the first and second keys or sets of keys.
