Locking oneself out can be a relatively quick process. It just takes a few seconds of carelessness or rushing about to result in being locked out.

We’ve all had the dread that comes when the door shuts, making us worry not only about stress but also about how much time we’ll waste if we don’t get it fixed right away.

Whether you’re someone who frequently gets locked out, here are eight strategies to keep from being locked out again.

1. Keep a list of phone numbers handy.

Locking yourself out can be as stressful as it is time-consuming, so being prepared for it is one of the most effective strategies to remain calm. You can save time by saving the names of people you deal with regularly, such as your landlord, locksmith, or even a good friend who you know would be able to come to assist you.

2. Before you need one, find a locksmith.

Before you find yourself in an emergency scenario, it’s always a good idea to have a locksmith on hand. So you can feel safe in the knowledge that if ever you need help, you’ll have a reliable phone number to call.

3. Use a key safe.

One of the most useful methods to maintain spare keys is with a key safe. They may be used for both personal and professional reasons, and they’re especially useful for keeping rental property keys.

Electronic lock key safes are available for those who are afraid of losing the safe key; they require just a unique numerical code to open. Key safes are an excellent low-cost alternative that saves time and money in the long run.

4. A spare key should always be carried.

It’s a good idea to get new keys made to ensure you have a spare on hand at all times. This is done easily online through key cutters like FastKeys.

Keeping your spare key separate from your regular collection lowers the odds of losing both sets, allowing you to use it if you’re ever locked out of your house or automobile.

It’s also a good idea to make spares of other keys that are frequently misplaced around the house, such as desk, window, cabinet, and locker keys.

5. It’s Easier Than You Think to Get Checking for Keys into a Habit.

It takes 21 days to establish a habit, so get started now! Even when you’re in a hurry, getting into a routine of checking you have your house, car, and work keys before opening the door will make it less likely that you’ll forget them later.

Try keeping an eye on your car for anything else valuable you frequently forget to bring with you, such as your phone, glasses, or credit cards.

6. Locks that are no longer functional should be changed.

While it’s tempting to believe that you were locked out because you didn’t have your key, many people are locked out of their homes or workplaces owing to a faulty or broken lock.

The problem might not be with the key at all; the lock itself may have aged over time. A new lock before the issue gets worse is a simple and inexpensive alternative. 

7. Give a spare key to someone you can trust.

If you have a trustworthy neighbor or family member, having them keep a spare key is always a smart idea. This isn’t only beneficial when you’ve been locked out, but it’s also useful in case of emergency – knowing that someone else may enter the home safely and swiftly if they ever need to is reassuring.

8. Make sure you choose a smart lock that works properly with your door.

Smart locks, even though they may be more expensive, are an effective way to keep your house secure without the need for a key.

Smart locks come in a variety of forms, but the most popular are those that use combinations, fingerprints, or eye scanners. Smart locks can save you money in the long run because you won’t have to worry about losing or forgetting your key.
