Lost Your House Keys? Heres What You Should Do

• Misplacing your house keys is a common
  occurrence, but that doesnt make it any less
  frustrating and inconvenient when it happens.
  Whether your keys were stolen, or you simply
  cant for the life of you remember where you last
  saw or left them, this is what you should do if
  youre stuck without your keys
• Place a call to the police
• While it might not seem like an emergency (and
  therefore doesnt warrant a 911 call), you should
  still contact your local police department to
  report the keys missing, if you believe theyve
  been stolen. For insurance claim purposes, a
  police report is often required, and if someone
  did steal your keys, they may now be able to gain
  access to your home.

• It may also be that if your purse or wallet was
  stolen along with your keys, theres a chance
  someone might find them and hand them in (and
  this may even be the case if they were lost), and
  if the police have a record of the items going
  missing, theyll be able to return to you whats
  rightfully yours, much quicker.
• Change your locks
• Whether your keys are lost or suspected stolen,
  whoever has them (if indeed, anyone has them),
  may be able to gain access to your home, and
  thats a pretty frightening thought. By having
  the locks changed by a residential locksmith,
  however, you can rest assured that if someone
  stole them with the intention of breaking into
  your home, theyll no longer be able to use them
  to do so.

• This might also be a good opportunity to upgrade
  any locks that might have been old, worn or
  faulty.
• If youve got a smart door lock, youll just need
  to change the code on your keypad it couldnt be
  simpler.
• Upgrade your home security
• As mentioned above, the loss of a key can prompt
  some individuals to take a closer look at the
  locks on their home, and if having them changed
  to prevent anyone from gaining unlawful access,
  this is the ideal opportunity to have stronger,
  high security locks installed. If youre not sure
  whether the locks on your home offer you a high
  enough level of protection, you can simply ask
  your local locksmith to assess them for you, and
  recommend any upgrades.

• Taking the above steps is made easier if you have
  the number of your local police department on
  hand, along with that of a local, emergency
  locksmith. It always pays to get to know your
  local locksmith anyway, as you never know when
  you might need their services, whether in an
  emergency or otherwise.
• So, if you lose your keys whether misplaced or
  stolen theres no need to panic, simply follow
  the steps above to ensure that you and your home,
  are kept protected.
