Ask a trustworthy relative or friend to hold onto your extra key so you can call them in the event of a lockout. It would be best if you kept a spare house key in a magnetic holder placed on your car’s frame, behind the front license plates, or behind the bumper. Think carefully before placing the key holder. Experienced thieves know all of the most popular key hiding places.
Avoid classic hiding places like doormats and flower pots. Place an extra key under the doghouse if you have one. You might consider placing a back-up key behind the siding or a thermometer, in a birdhouse, or the dryer vent.
