Holidays and weekends bring visitors, travel and late nights, which is exactly when keys get misplaced. A little preparation means a lockout is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.
Why holidays are tricky
Routines change. Guests come and go with spare keys, you're carrying bags and gifts, and you may be leaving the house empty for days. Many businesses are closed, so finding help can take longer if you haven't planned ahead.
Before you travel
- Leave a spare key with someone you trust nearby
- Check every exterior door and the garage entry before leaving
- Replace batteries in keypad and smart locks
- Collect any spare keys you lent out over the season
- Save a local locksmith's number in your phone
If it happens
Get somewhere safe and comfortable, then call. Tell the locksmith exactly where you are, what kind of lock it is and whether anyone needs urgent help. If someone is in danger, call 911 first.
