Lockouts at home happen frequently as more and more people are getting accustomed to locking their doors both night and during the day. This is actually a good practice to start cultivating, but it has one drawback; accidental lockouts. It’s so easy to run out to get the mail and find yourself locked out. Not only is this inconvenient and somewhat embarrassing but it could lead to bigger problems. What if a pot of food was simmering on the stove and no one else was at home? What if you have a toddler alone inside and no one to let you back through the door?
Imagine it; you park the car and turn off the engine. You run inside the pizza parlor to pick up dinner for your family. The melting cheese and the pepperoni and mushroom toppings smell SO good! You have a smile on your face as you pay for your pizza and make your way back to the car when you notice; they keys are dangling in the ignition! Frantically you try the door and sure enough; it’s locked! In our little example, this takes place during business hours, but what if it happens after hours or in a poorly lit or unsafe neighborhood? Auto lockouts can also involve a child or pet still inside the car so it’s best to have a responsive solution to this problem.
Lockouts happen anywhere there are people and locks. Yes, that includes business locations, too. From retail stores to medical clinics, people can accidentally lock themselves out of the premises and need fast access in a hurry. Whether a clerk went out back for a quick smoke break, and the propped door accidentally closed, or a manager lost his keys and really needs to open for business, the end result is the same; lockout time! Since businesses take many forms and all of them involve some kind of locking items including doors, file cabinets, windows, desks and even walk-in freezers, it just makes sense to have quick access to 24-hour emergency locksmith assistance.
The best overall answer for combatting lockouts is to be ready for them. They are going to happen anyway but by following these simple and very easy tips you can alleviate much of the anxiety and danger that accompanies them.
That’s right; keep your cool! Getting locked out is always stressful but often, that stress only makes things worse. In your panic, you might think that breaking back in is what you need to do. Wrong! You can incur property damage, bodily injury and even police arrest if something goes wrong. Some people have even been shot by their own roommates or family members because they weren’t recognized during their break-in. Don’t risk that. Call for help and then call a friend. Doing this calms your nerves while you wait for assistance and also gives you a potential witness in case of problems stemming from being alone and in trouble.
It never hurts to have a spare key, but be smart and do NOT put it somewhere obvious! Under the door mat or in the flower pot are the first places a crook will look for that key and you can quickly complicate things when you are dealing with a burglar as well as replacing your key! Some spare key destinations include a trusted neighbor, a friend or relative that lives in town, your glove compartment, your purse or even in your smart phone case.
Stop groaning and listen! Being more organized is a good thing. It helps you find things faster and you develop over time a feeling of “something is missing or not right.” If you always take out your keys from the ignition when you park the car, your brain will alert you the next time you don’t do that and lessen the instances where you accidentally leave them dangling while you run inside to pick up that great smelling pizza!
