If you ever find yourself locked out of your house, here are a few tips to solve your problem.

Locked out of your house? Check for an opened window

If you are locked out of your house and leave on the ground floor, have to look for some open windows. Maybe you can check the basement windows to see if they are open. If luck smiles at you, be aware of health and safety. Better call someone to help you with the window to assist during your trying process of getting into your house. Do not take any unnecessary risks, like climbing walls or highly unstable fences, thinking that you’re saving money. It just isn’t worth risking your health for money!

Maybe this time you are lucky, but …

…Remember! If you could get access to your house through the window, anyone can!

Call Your Landlord or Your Agency

If you’re locked out from your house and you’re renting the place, it’s probably better to call your landlord. If he leaves nearby and he has a spare key probably he can help you. Moreover, he may come up with a solution or advice for you.

Ask Your Concierge

If you’re locked out from your house/flat, and you’re leaving in a surveilled area, probably there is someone watching it. It’s impossible this time to gain access to your house through your opened windows. Sometimes your concierge or maintenance guy has a spare key and can give you easy access back into your house.
