And give these keys to your neighbour, friend, or family member. In this way, you will be assured of getting back inside your house.

2)  Replace malfunctioning lock and self-locking door

Sometimes malfunctioning locks also lock you outside your house. This happened because you never provided good maintenance to your lock system. To avoid this situation taking good care of your lock system and replacing the old malfunctioned lock system is the only solution. You can even find yourself locked outside your door if you are using a self-locking door. In this case, you have to become either more vigilant or should consider replacing your door to avoid locked-out situations.

3)  Make a habit of double-checking for keys before leaving

The best and inexpensive way to prevent situations like lockouts is to make a habit of double-checking for keys before you step outside your house. However, accepting this simple habit is not so very simple for many people. But still, if you genuinely try to take care of keys and make it a habit to check on them, It will definitely save you from lockouts.  

4)  keep a spare key in the phone case, purse, or car
