Start from step 4 if you are the key-owner. Please note that your access code is your phone number.

If you choose not to use the URL link or download the Keycafe app, ensure that the key-owner has informed you of the SmartBox location and operating hours.
Check your access dates and times to ensure that you are accessing the keys during the scheduled time.
You have received a booking code via email or SMS message. Save this code as you will need it to access the key.
Once you are at the correct Keycafe SmartBox location, locate the Keycafe SmartBox.
Touch the SmartBox's screen to begin.
Select Key Pickup.
Enter your access code and press Enter.
For additional security, you may receive a 4-digit SMS code to your mobile number that you will need to enter into the SmartBox.
Select the name of the keys that you wish to pick up and press Pick Up. The designated key bin in the SmartBox will open to give you access to the keys.
Once you have picked up the keys, close the key bin door firmly.

When picking up keys, do not put anything back into the bin, including the keys you just took out.
Be sure to close the key bin door after picking up your keys.
To leave the keys back in the bin, follow the Drop Off Keys process to ensure the keys are available in the app for pickup next time.
