Leave a Spare Key With a Trusted Neighbor

It's best to choose someone who is often available, like a retiree or a stay-at-home parent. Having a spare key at your place of work where you can easily retrieve it is another alternative.

Discuss the Dos and Don'ts

You know the layout of your home best. If your garage has a keypad entry, this could be a secure place to keep a spare key or grant access to another entry of the house. 



• Never hide a key under the mat or in a fake rock as these are the most common places for burglars to check.
• Breaking a window is a no-no. It can cause injury and additional costly repairs. 
• Leaving ground-level windows unlocked "just in case" can also open your home up to easy invasion.
• Trying to pick the lock or pry it open with a credit card can damage your lock leading to unnecessary repairs.

Add a Local Locksmith to Your Contacts

Check your local listings for a reliable locksmith who offers emergency service and fast turnaround times. Add their number to the phones of everyone in your household. Provide your neighbors with the number in case the family member locked out is unable to make calls.
