Change old keys or locks
One of the main reasons why a lot of people experience lockouts, is their obsolete keys or locks. Once you notice that your key is damaged or malfunctioning, replace it with a new one.

Get a spare key
Having an extra set of keys may help you in case of a lockout. It's advisable to give a spare key to your trusted neighbour or a close friend. But remember, that giving your house key to someone is only a good idea when you know the person well.
