There’s a good chance that you’ve been in a situation where you’re looking around and you can’t seem to find your keys anywhere. Pretty terrifying, right? The casual search suddenly turns into a full-blown panic attack while you feeling around in your bag and trying to frantically retrace your steps.
Whether you’ve lost your house or car keys or you managed to lock yourself out, there are a few things you can do to stay calm and get it fixed.
How to Find House Keys
The worst part about realizing that you’ve lost your house keys is the fact that it usually happens when you get home and you’re on your doorstep waiting to go inside. If possible, try to have a spare hidden somewhere but be clever about this because thieves are already on to this trick if you’re going to do it. If you don’t have a spare lying around, it’s best to call a professional locksmith. Someone with qualifications can make a new key, duplicate your spare, and help you get inside safely and quickly.
How to Find Car Keys
If you have a tendency to carry your car keys in your pocket, you probably have experience with them falling out when sitting down. The first thing to do is retrace your steps. If you don’t find them right away, be sure to stay by your car. If someone did pick up your keys and they are trying to steal the vehicle, they will most likely walk among the cars and test out the remote to see which car it belongs to. Your last resort would be to call an emergency locksmith service or the local police.
Tips for Replacement
There are going to be a situation when you simply cannot locate your keys at all. When you can’t find them, a replacement is your only option. If the key that you lost is for your home, it’s best to not only get a replacement but to also change your locks as soon as possible. If you lost your car keys, be sure to invalidate them using your car’s onboard diagnostics port. When you call for a locksmith, ensure that you tell them exactly what’s wrong and what you need.
