Have you lost keys and not sure what you\u2019re going to do?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Losing your house keys, office keys, or keys to any place can be frustrating \u2013 especially if you don\u2019t have a spare key on hand. For security reasons it also becomes an issue which needs to be resolved quickly. Lockout Squad Locksmiths<\/a> talk you through what to do when you\u2019ve lost your keys.<\/p>\n

Step 1 – Call a Locksmith to unlock the door<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the event that you\u2019ve lost your house keys<\/a>, your first point of contact should be a locksmith to help you unlock your door. Residents of Sydney can Call (0425 000 888)<\/a> their local locksmiths Lockout Squad Locksmiths any time, day or night for emergency services. Never attempt to break into your own property, or to unlock a door without prior experience. You might end up doing more harm to the entire lock system than necessary.<\/p>\n

Step 2 – Ask about your key and door lock options <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Locksmiths are trained professionals who try by all means to unlock the door without damaging the entry system. Depending on the door locking mechanism, it might need a complete replacement if you\u2019re worried about security. The locksmith will be able to advise you on the best way forward once they\u2019ve finished unlocking the door for you.<\/p>\n

Step 3 – Get lock system changed <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the door lock system has been compromised it is recommended to get the entire door lock system changed as soon as possible. Normally this can all be done on the same day. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours depending on the new lock system being installed, but at least you\u2019ll be able to sleep in peace that night.<\/p>\n

Step 4- Get several copies of your keys made<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the door system is still intact after the locksmith has opened it for you, and you have your spare set of keys in the house, it is advisable to get this set copied by the locksmith. Copying of keys doesn\u2019t take long with most locksmiths offering same-day service.<\/p>\n

Step 5- Find safe places to store spare keys<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got a couple of spare keys from the locksmith, it\u2019s imperative that you find somewhere safe to store these keys. If you trust your neighbors, you might consider asking them to hold onto a set of your spare keys. If not, consider keeping a set in your car\u2019s dashboard, in a post-office box, with a friend or family member. If you don\u2019t have anyone to leave your spare key with, consider an obscure place on your property to hide your key.<\/p>\n
