Being locked out of your home is one of life’s biggest inconveniences, especially if there was no planning ahead just in case the situation ever arose. Of course, you can always call a professional locksmith like A1 Lock and Key LLC to come and save the day, but it’s better to not be locked out in the first place. Here are some tips to help ensure you never get locked out again.
Now, you'd think this would go without saying, but if it did fewer people would be locked out of their houses. The best thing you can do to prevent a lockout is to get into the habit of double-checking your pockets or purse for your keys.
Try as we may, accidents still happen. When that occurs, it's nice to have a backup plan. That's where a spare key comes in. Hide one in a secret spot or leave one with a trusted neighbor, friend, or family member.
Another way to eliminate forgetting or losing your keys is to get rid of the need altogether. By installing a smart lock with a digital code or fingerprint scanner, you bypass carrying your keys everywhere.
If all else fails, keep your keys attached to something you're even less likely to forget. Get a phone case with a slot for a key, clip the key to your purse, or slide it into a slot on your wallet. Let's be honest. These days, we're all much less likely to forget our phones than our keys.
