Citizen Space has been operating since 2006 on the premise that we give all paying desk members a key and access whenever (24/7) and we'll just trust that this will work. The only stipulation is that they don't give the key over to someone else who isn't a paying member and that they lock up before they leave.
Four years later there have been no major incidents. I think pens go missing periodically and people forget to clean up their messes here and there. But otherwise, trust has worked as security. We have lockers now, too. But they aren't really used.
