Another day, another frustrating situation. I swear, I just bought/got/acquired a new door mechanism last month and now I'm barred in my own house! I've tried every strategy I know. The spare set of keys is, of course, missing. I even looked everywhere for a possible alternative access, but no luck. At this point, I'm just fuming/frustrated/aggravated. Maybe it's time to invest in a professional locksmith...
Whoa! Keys Inside, Car Outside! ????
Okay, this totally happened to me last night. I was walking back to my car after hitting the gym and noticed that I accidentally took my keys inside! My eyes widened because, obviously, the door were all locked. It was a total nightmare!
- I struggled to reach in the window, but it was impossible.
- Finally, I had to call a tow truck which was not ideal.
So yeah,take it from me, always double-check your keys before you walk away!
Help! I Locked Myself Out!
It happened so fast. I was/I had been/I'd been getting the mail and just for a second/momentarily/in a flash, I left them inside . Now, here I am / I'm stuck / I'm trapped outside with no way in . My phone is running low on battery, and I don't have a spare key/my spare key is somewhere safe at home/nobody else knows where it is. What am I going to do?!
- Is there a way to pick the lock myself?
- This is the worst day ever.
I need to think quickly!
Key Crisis!
So, you've hit a snag with your car keys. Stay calm. This doesn't have to a total disaster. First things first, search all the usual spots - your bag, on the kitchen counter, or maybe even in that box you haven't touched in months. If they're gone AWOL, it's time to come up with a plan.
- Get in touch with an expert. It might seem like the priciest solution, but sometimes it's the easiest way to get back on the road.
- Give your dealership a ring. They may be able to provide you with a new key or at least point you in the correct path.
- Review your insurance documents. You might be surprised to discover that your auto insurance covers key replacement.
I Can't Find My Keys! They're in My Locked Car!!!
That is totally the worst feeling in the world! You're getting ready to head out, and you realize that your keys are safely tucked away. You start to panic. What are you going to do??
You could try some lock-picking techniques, but those solutions aren't always successful.
This is where it truly helps to be prepared. Maybe you could think about leaving a spare set with someone you trust.
In the meantime, take a deep breath and try to stay calm.
Uh Oh, Locked Keys in the Vehicle! ????
OMG, disaster ! It appears you've/we've/I've locked our/my/the keys inside the car/truck/vehicle. Now what? What to do? How will we get in?!. Don't panic, though! There might be a way to get in/to get them locked keys inside home out/to rescue ourselves. First, check if any windows are slightly open. {Maybe you can reach through and grab the keys? Maybe not! If that doesn't work, maybe you have a spare key somewhere? Check your pockets/Look under seats/Call a family member. If all else fails, it might be time to call a locksmith/roadside assistance.
