Locked yourself out of your house again?

Back To Blog

Plenty of people have locked themselves out of their house or car at some point and struggled to find a way back in by calling a residential locksmith, breaking in or picking the lock. There are even plenty of stories all over the net of people who have aroused police suspicion by trying to get their own keys out of the house. But some people forget their keys or lose them all the time - guess there are just other things on your mind. There are some measures you can take to temporarily get access to your house, if you can recover your keys at a later stage.

If you’ve lost your keys, however, the process becomes a little more complicated. Since you don’t want the security of your home to rest squarely in the metaphorical palms of a lost key. If you keep losing your keys then you should probably look at getting a key finding device, which can attach to a key-ring and helps you locate it. It’s better to try and avoid constant lock change because this obviously gets expensive. And the ability to open up the front door to your home is not something that you can afford to ignore.

Have a trusty smith!

Count on our locksmith company, as if you lock yourself out often you will doubtlessly already have a locksmith that you can rely on. Having a reliable locksmith on hand is great, even if you’re not likely to lose your keys, it’s a good contact to have.

Keys, keys, keys…

So long as you don’t just leave the lost key ignored, it’s a good idea to keep spare keys in secret placed around your home, although one key somewhere should suffice. It’s advisable to not keep it somewhere obvious like under the mat or above the door frame. Make it a difficult place to search where you can’t be openly seen retrieving the replacement, and it should remain secure. But it’s a good idea to make sure you either recover the lost house key quickly, or replace the lock immediately if possible since it is a huge hole in your home’s security.

Calling a locksmith (at a reasonable hour) won’t cost you that much. So if you’re locked out and you haven’t left yourself any hidden backup plans, calling a locksmith company will get you in and get your locks or keys replaced in one turn.
