I was visiting my niece for thanksgiving day and today ( friday ) a
woman across the street had locked herself out of her home. She came
across to us to ask for help. She had no backup key around the area,
her son was working for the day, and obviously could not get into her
home. We suggested that she call a locksmith, but for some reason she
hesitated..probably the cost..I told her she should have a secret spot
for a backkup key in the event like this would happen. All windows
were shut, garage door remote she had, but there is no access to the
house through the garage. Has anyone faced this problem and somehow
managed to get into your home without the benefit of calling a
locksmith? She finally had to call her son and he worked about 30
miles from home and came back to solve the situation. But what if a
locksmith was not available for one reason or another..holiday or
just closed.

I have come in basement windows a couple of times. They are usually the
easiest way in. Of course you can break a window, or if you are really
good, pick a lock . It might take me many hours to pick a lock, my father
(a locksmith) could do it is seconds.
