It happens to everyone; after a particularly hectic day work day or shopping excursion, you find yourself locked out of your own car. Car lockouts can be a real pain, which is why it’s important to take the right steps to prevent them from happening in the first place. Should you find yourself locked out of your vehicle this summer, the following advice can help ensure that the situation is only a minor inconvenience.
Prevent a Car Lockout With These 3 Helpful Tips
1. Use Your Key Fob
If you have a newer model of car or truck you probably utilize a key fob, which opens the door with one click. If you consistently use this device to lock your doors, the chances of you leaving your keys in the car are slim. Get in the habit of using your key fob every time you leave your vehicle, and make sure you replace the battery when necessary. If you have an older vehicle without a key fob, wait until you’re outside the vehicle before locking the driver’s side door.
2. Hide a Spare In Your Purse or Wallet
Also, consider hiding a spare key in your purse or wallet. This is a good option if you’re constantly on the go, as easy access to your spare is a must if you’re locked out away from home. You can also give a spare to a trusted friend or relative, who can meet you at the location where you’re locked out.
3. Keep a BAYSIDE LOCKSMITH & SECURITY Number Handy
Of course, even with your best efforts, you might still end up locking your key in the car this summer. In this case, having the number of a skilled locksmith will ensure you can access your vehicle in a timely manner. We offer prompt service at a reasonable price and will also be able to enter your vehicle using the right tools, thereby minimizing the risk of damage.
