There’s good and bad news. The bad news is that lockouts cannot be entirely prevented. The good news is that they can be almost eliminated, and when they do happen, their effect can be minimalized by following our simple advice. More good news; following our advice is really simple and easy to implement. Are you ready? Let’s begin.
It’s probably safe to say that most everyone has been locked out of his or her car at some point. It’s a bit ironic, too. There are only three main locks on most any car and only two of them can lock you out; the door lock and the trunk lock. This doesn’t stop thousands of folks from accidentally shutting the trunk while the keys are left inside. Or, absent mindedly locking the car door while the ignition keys are still dangling in the switch. Why are auto lockouts so common? It’s simple, really. We are distracted. Driving your car is more than just pushing the gas pedal and steering. We must also pay attention to pedestrians, road signs, billboards, traffic lights, oncoming traffic, two-way stops, passengers, and of course, our destination. No wonder so many people forget for a brief moment where their keys are. By then, it’s too late.
Running a close second to auto lockouts are lockouts that happen at home. Unlike car lockouts, these residential mishaps take place not because we are distracted, but relaxed. We are at home; what can happen? We are thinking of our task at hand; getting the mail, walking the dog, watering the flowers, etc. Before you realize it, the locked door closes behind you and you are barred temporarily from your own house! If you have a family member or friend inside to let you back in; great! If not, you are truly on your own! Residential lockouts present another issue; so many doors! We have doors on the front and back of the building and also doors to bedrooms, bathrooms, home office, closets, basement, attic and more. Any of these can close and lock on us and these lockouts can include children, pets, neighbors and guests.
With over 30 million businesses in the United States alone, it boggles the mind to think about the sheer number of lockouts that take place every day. Businesses can range from single person offices to multi floor hotels and apartment buildings; all have doors. Front and back doors are prone to lockouts but so are office doors, bathroom and closet doors, as well as doors to server rooms, storage rooms, break rooms and warehouses. Business locations have staff, visitors, customers, and vendors that can lock themselves out, at any time.
Practice good habits; this is what you can do! Start by putting your keys in the same place each time you use them. If you repeatedly do this, your subconscious mind will let you know when you neglect to return your keys or forget to take them.
Another good habit to cultivate is to make a conscious effort to lock and unlock your doors every time you use them. Again, your mind subconscious will let you “know” when you haven’t done this and you are much less apt to find yourself locked out.
Spare keys can be a nightmare or a life saver; depending on how you use them. If you have one or more of them, keep track of where they are! Please don’t place them under the door mat or over the door sill; those are some of the first places a burglar or intruder will look. Instead, keep them hidden away where they won’t be “found” by roommates, guests or children. Or, give one to a trusted friend or neighbor and ask them to hold for safekeeping in the event that you ever find yourself needing its use. Be sure to add that person’s phone number to your mobile devices in case you need to reach them during a lockout situation. While you are at it, keep a couple of locksmith shops in your smart phone’s contact number log; you never know when you might need to use this resource.
Once in a while you just need to call a locksmith. You might as well make it a good one and get the job done correctly and at the right price. The best way to do this is to pre-select your locksmith ahead of time. If you wait until you’re locked out or having some other locksmith emergency, you won’t be able to be selective as you will be distracted by your circumstances and in a hurry for relief.
Begin your search by asking your co-workers, friends and family members for referrals. A good locksmith experience will be easy to remember and to recommend to others.
You can also make some phone calls and do your own due diligence. Look for affordability, 24-hour emergency service, and always insist on licensed status. Be choosy about your lock professional. If you ever find yourself locked out, you’ll appreciate that you went through that little bit of trouble!
