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?

I've had the problem a couple of times over the years. There are
safe places where a key can be hidden outside. I don't mean those
stupid fake rocks though. They can be out of site in a shed, under
a deck, behind a shutter, under a fence post cap, on a tree,
birdhouse, etc. In her case, it could have been in the locked garage
since she had an opener. You just have to use a little ingenuity.



The more unusual, the more secure. This is one of those situations
where the LEAST popular place is better.


Although the fake rock is an excellent place to hide
an exploding dye pack...



where does one buy those?
