How to Prevent Getting Locked Out of the house

You may think that getting locked out of the house won't happen to you, but just you wait. If you don't take preventative measures against getting locked out, it could very well happen when you least expect it. Locking yourself out is a huge pain, but if you follow then you can easily avoid the hassle.

Here's what you can do to to Prevent Getting Locked Out 

·         Give an extra key to a friend, family member or neighbor whom you trust.

·         Buy a fake rock, put the key inside and hide the rock in the garden. Make sure the rock looks real because burglars know how to look for these.

·         Carry an extra key in your bag.

·         There is a mobile APP called KeyMe. Just take a photo of the key you need and add it to your virtual ring in order to have on hand in case of an emergency.

·         Install a wireless keypad on the outside of your garage and hide a key inside the garage. Bear in mind that in the event of a power failure, your garage door may not open.

·         Lock the key inside your electrical panel and lock the panel with a combination padlock. 

·         Attach a heavy duty contractor's box to a gas pipe and put the key inside.
