How To Act in An Emergency Lockout Situation?
It probably has happened to you. In fact, it has happened to all of us. You’re 
thinking of something else while shopping, eating, going to the movie, or some other things that might occupy your time and then when you come to your car or house, you reach in your pockets for your keys, and voila! They’re not there. You panic. Did you drop them somewhere? Did you put it on a table and left it behind? Did anyone else take them from you? How are you going to get in your car and go home? How are you going in your home?
Most people will be familiar with the sense of panic that rises up immediately after finding out that a key is lost or misplaced. It is also considered to be most unnerving during the night, and your miles away from home, or if you are in the middle of a bad weather, more so if you have kids with you during a lockout situation.
Here are a few tips in dealing with a lockout emergency, before you call a professional locksmith:
Relax.
The first thing you need to do in a lockout situation is to remain calm. Fight down any feeling of panic, and be patient with yourself and those who are in the situation with you.
Check for any spare key that you may have hidden somewhere.
Most people forget that they may have hidden a spare key somewhere within their property until a situation calls for an extra key. Before you contact any professional locksmith service, make sure that you have scoured your property for any spare key that you may have kept somewhere.
Contact a member of the family or a friend who have keys to the house for you to use.
If you live with other members of your family or are sharing a flat with friends, chances are they have keys with them. If you find that you have locked yourself out of the house, try to see if you can borrow their keys or have them duplicate it for you to use. If you find that it might be too risky because you may never find your lost key again, opt for a lock replacement.
Check for any accessible windows that are easy to open.
Some owners are mindful of leaving at least one window open or easy to pry open in cases of emergencies of lockout situations. Check for any other points of entry available in your house before calling in a locksmith service so you can get yourself into your house at least until you get the locks replaced or you find the keys again.
If all else fails, and you find yourself time pressed to get into your house and you just can’t find the keys anywhere, remain calm and dial your trusted locksmith on your mobile phone, or the nearest pay phone.
