You have your favorite ice cream in a freezer and your favorite beer in your fridge. You take your key out of the pocket, insert the key and it breaks. Well, now you can have the evening you’ve been planning to have.
There can be many scenarios besides breaking your key, you could lose it, forget at home, or somebody could steal it.
We hope that your neighborhood is safe so you can solve your issue without additional challenges. Don’t feel alone, there are plenty of ideas on how to solve this task. At least, we can suggest five right now. And remember everything you do, since it will be a superb story to tell your friends when everything is over.
1. Call your friends
Try to remember who might have a place to stay, or in case you lost the keys might have some extra ones. Maybe your relatives or a partner can bring you the keys or help you to get in.
And if you are renting the place, you can give a call to your landlord and ask for help. This might be the best idea because you are not alone with your issue from now on. Your landlord surely has spare keys or knows someone who can help with opening the door.
2. Check your windows
If you are lucky enough to leave your windows open you can enter the house through them. And if every window is closed, you can try to open it up with tools you might have with you like a pocket knife.
Besides, you can check for the backdoor. Is it open? This can be your chance to get into your house before calling a locksmith or your landlord.
3. Visit your neighbor
Go next door and ask to stay before you come up with the best solution on how to get into the house without your keys. This idea is best if you can’t enter your house when it’s dark or you are very stressed out about it.
And don’t forget to ask your neighbor if he or she has some tools in the garage that can help you to enter your house.
Worst case scenario when this is the best possible option is that you can enter your house and your phone is dead.
4. Demount your lock
This option requires some skills but we are sure that if you got locked out of your house, you are capable of this.
And if you can’t do it technically, you can always break your lock to take out the insides that keep you and your favorite couch apart. It’s not the best idea and we recommend going to the next option.
5. Call the nearest locksmith ASAP!
If you are sure you don’t want to do any of the suggested ideas above, you can call the local locksmith to come and open your door.
For sure many work 24/7 so you don’t have to stay outside and sleep on your doormat. The professional locksmith has all the necessary tools to fix your lock immediately and to change it if it is broken.
And this is the best idea for your situation! Many people break in their own houses and experience much more damage that costs them much more than just to change the lock.
Calling a locksmith might be the best option to save your home from the destruction that comes with breaking windows or doors. And besides, you don’t have to go to your neighbors!
