Finding yourself locked out of your home, business, car or safe, is never a fun experience. It happens to everyone at some point, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed the next time you’re locked out. In this fast paced world that we live in, where we’re always on the go, it’s very normal to get distracted and misplace or lose your keys at some point. In some cases, people don’t lose their keys, but maybe have trouble unlocking an old or malfunctioning lock. We’re going to share some valuable tips to help avoid these situations and ensure you keep your home or business safe from intruders.
Whenever you move to a new home or business location – replace your locks.
If you decide to move to a new home, office or commercial space, it’s important you change the locks whenever possible. Though the landlord for that property may have given you all of the keys and you may think all is good, you won’t know for sure who else might have had access or a pair of keys previously.
Keep keys in safe places
If you need to hide out spare keys somewhere around your home or business, be sure to get a little creative with the hiding spot. Intruders oftentimes know exactly where to look and where folks usually hide spare keys. Make sure it’s not an obvious spot, but at the same time, somewhere you’ll easily remember and won’t have issues recovering your spare key.
Evaluate the condition of your locks
Over time, wear and tear is normal with locks and keys. You don’t want to arrive at your home or business one day, insert the key and not be able to unlock your door. If you find yourself having trouble unlocking locks sometimes, it may be time to have a professional take a look at it.
