Avoiding a Car Lockout Service Call
Make them flashy
If we have had more than one emergency locksmith call from a client, and it is because they locked key in the car, we will often suggest they put something eye catching on their keychain.
Make a routine
In addition to something boldly colored or eye catching on the keys, we also suggest you institute a mental checklist for exiting the car. A simple "mantra" like "phone, keys, bag/wallet" said aloud can actually train you to follow an infallible routine that prevents the most common car lockouts.
Make them multiple
While you may have avoided locking the keys inside of the car, and simply misplaced or lost them, you can still be proactive. We recommend that you always have a key holder on call if you are prone to losing keys or locking them in the car. This is someone you can phone and who is often nearby and who can have a spare. If that is not viable, there are strong, magnetic key boxes to hide on the car. We can cut you spare keys or make extra keys for your vehicle, and you can hide them using a durable key hide.
Make backup plans
Of course, being proactive also means having a reliable locksmith for cars in mind. If you are locked out in the middle of the night or in bad conditions, you don't have time to do any due diligence. Less reputable providers count on that and create tempting ads that appear in online searches. Instead of risking the unknown, we recommend you keep our emergency locksmith number in your speed dial. This way, there is not searching for a reputable service at the last minute.
