I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation as it stands. All heirs to the property have legal rights to enter. So yes, your brother can have a key. I mights strongly suggest that you place all your belongings in one room and notify the executor and your siblings that the assets therein are not your Father's property (I am sure that the Executor has inventoried all your Father's assets). Otherwise, move the stuff in to storage. Good luck.
