Getting locked out is stressful, but don't panic. Whether you're locked out of your home, car, or business, follow these steps to stay safe and get help quickly.
Step 1: Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
The first thing to do is take a deep breath. Panicking won't help. Look around to see if there's an obvious way back inside (like an unlocked window), but don't attempt anything risky.
Step 2: Check for Alternative Entry Points
Look for any doors or windows that might be unlocked. If you find one that's safe and accessible, you can use it. However, if you have to break anything or climb, don't do it—call a professional instead.
Step 3: Contact Someone You Trust
If a family member or trusted friend has a spare key, call them to see if they can help. If not, move to the next step. If you're locked out of your car, alert nearby people that you're waiting for a locksmith.
Step 4: Call a Professional Locksmith

Step 5: Stay Safe While You Wait
If you're locked out of your car:
- Move your car out of traffic if safe to do so
- Use your hazard lights to signal your situation
- Stay inside your vehicle if it's safe
- Don't leave valuables visible
If you're locked out of your home:
- Wait in a safe, well-lit location
- Don't leave your home exposed by trying to force entry
- Alert neighbors that you're waiting for help
Prevention Tips
While lockouts happen to everyone, you can reduce the risk:
- Give a spare key to a trusted neighbor or family member
- Install a keypad or smart lock for easy access
- Double-check for your keys before closing doors
- Keep your locksmith's number handy
