Secure storage system and method

A secure storage method, the method comprising:

• generating a primary wireless alert signal via a primary response device, the primary response device having a first control input and a first radio module, wherein the first radio module is configured to generate the primary wireless alert signal when the first control input is operated;
• generating a secondary wireless alert signal via a secondary response device, the secondary response device having a second radio module, wherein the second radio module is configured to generate a secondary wireless alert signal in response to receiving the primary wireless alert signal;
• receiving, via a communication module of a secure storage device, the secondary wireless alert signal, the secure storage device having a body, a storage cavity, a door, and a locking mechanism, wherein the body defines the storage cavity, wherein the door is movably coupled to the body so that the door is movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the storage cavity is accessible when the door is in the open position and the storage cavity is inaccessible when the door is in the closed position, wherein the locking mechanism governs the ability of the door to be moved from the closed position and into the open position, wherein the communication module is in electronic communication with the locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is changeable between a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein when the locking mechanism is in the locked state the door is not able to be moved from the closed position and into the open position, wherein when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state the door is able to be moved from the closed position and into the open position;
• receiving, via the locking mechanism, an unlocking input from a user;
• and
• changing the locking mechanism of the secure storage device changing from the locked state to the unlocked state after both of:
• the secondary wireless alert signal is received by the communication module;
• and the unlocking input is received via the locking mechanism.
