Early mornings are prime time for lockouts: rushing to work, taking out the trash, letting the dog out.
Most common early lockouts
- The door locked behind you while you stepped outside. That's a house lockout.
- Keys left in the car while warming it up. That's a car lockout.
- A key snapped in a frozen lock. That's broken key extraction.
Prevent the next one
A keypad lock on the door you use most means you can't lock yourself out. Keep a spare from key duplication with a neighbor.
