• You simply lost it

Knowing that the reason for you being locked out is a lost key is not very comforting. All kinds of thoughts may run through your mind while you are looking for the key or even while you wait to be let inside. What if it falls in the wrong hands? Did someone find it? Will I find it tomorrow or sometime in the future? Is it lost for real? These are just some things you may be thinking. But, with a lost key, the best thing to do is change those locks or have them rekeyed.   

• It was stolen

If your keys were stolen because someone grabbed your bag, purse or they just stole the keys, treat it similar to lost keys. Make sure you get those locks rekeyed or changed. We’re sure that you do not want to see someone step in your house while you’re there because they used the keys that they had stolen from you. Be proactive and take preventative measures.

• You really misplaced it and just cannot find it anywhere

Sometimes your key is only lost temporarily. Whether it is at the bottom of your handbag, stuck somewhere under your car seat, hidden in plain sight or temporarily hidden by someone, you may misplace it and find it in the very near future. But, until you find those keys, you will need to get that door opened. 

Handle a Lockout like a Pro

Is it really possible to handle a lockout like a pro? What does that even mean? Do you get locked out so many times that you are used to it and know what to do every time? We hope this is not you. Although we don’t want you to panic and get in frenzy when you get locked out, we certainly don’t want it to be a very regular occurrence for you either. 

But, what should you do when you realize that you are locked out? Some people will argue about the order of events but there are some things that are standard, no matter what order you do them in. 

• Determine the urgency of the situation

Although you may be eager to get inside your home, car or business, it may not be as urgent as you had previously thought. Yes, it will be very inconvenient for you to sit around and wait on a locksmith or someone else to show up with a key, but you may not need to be inside right away. 

• Check for your spare keys

Many people have spare keys for their locks. In fact, locks rarely come with one single key. If you have a spare key nearby, it should be quick to grab, unless you’re locked out there too. Try not keeping your spare keys inside the area that it would be needed to open. Hide it somewhere or give it to someone you can trust for safe keeping.
