Abstract
An electronic lock system which allows unattended dispensing of user determined key codes is described. These user determined key codes are then utilized by the user to gain access to a particular room or area. In one aspect of the present invention, a secure lock system for providing user access to an area includes a terminal interfacing with a user and receiving a user determined key code from the user. An access locking device blocks access to the area, but after the user inputs the user determined key code to the access locking device the access device unlocks and provides access to the area.
