There are a few simple ways to avoid getting locked out
, it's happened to all of us. To most of us it usually happens when we forget our keys, simple solution - Keep keys next to your phone. Trust us it works, you never leave the house without your phone.
We also know that it sometimes happens when all we wanted to do was throw out the rubbish. The door was left slightly open but the wind decided it wasn't supposed to be... Now we're stuck outside without a phone or keys, been there before too. The easiest way to avoid this happening is by simply disabling your lock. Every lock is designed for day to day use, this means the manufacturers know this happens and build in a button to disable to the latch. This could be a push button, a slide button and on UPVC doors it's a simple plastic cover on the side of the door that slides over the latch.
So next time you sneak the rubbish out, it's only a simple movement, and you wont get locked out ever again!
