I was visiting my niece for thanksgiving day and today ( friday ) a woman across the street had locked herself out of her home. She came across to us to ask for help. She had no backup key around the area, her son was working for the day, and obviously could not get into her home. We suggested that she call a locksmith, but for some reason she hesitated..probably the cost..I told her she should have a secret spot for a backkup key in the event like this would happen. All windows were shut, garage door remote she had, but there is no access to the house through the garage. Has anyone faced this problem and somehow managed to get into your home without the benefit of calling a locksmith? She finally had to call her son and he worked about 30 miles from home and came back to solve the situation. But what if a locksmith was not available for one reason or another..holiday or just closed.
