5 Things you shouldn't do when you lose your house or car keys!

In this journey of life, we sometimes find ourselves in some very tight situations. Imagine a situation whereby your flight is scheduled for 8:00 pm in the evening and just before you finish preparing for the airport you are informed that your young son or daughter has accidentally locked himself/herself in the bedroom and the door has jammed.Or even may be the keys are misplaced or totally lost.

Below we have laid some few guidelines of the things that you shouldn't do in such a situation:

1. Do Not Panic!

When faced by a situation like the one above, or even a worse one where may be you have lost your car keys, please DO NOT PANIC! Panic will make you act irrationally making an already bad situation worse.
In most cases, when people are involved in lock-out situations, they start imagining all manner of things that emotionally destabilizes them and hence throwing them automatically into a panic and self-destructive mood. In house lock outs, most people will imagine that the entire door will be brought down and just how much it will cost to replace with a brand new one.

In car lock-outs, the trail of thoughts is along the same line with most imagining that they will have to break the entire window to gain access into the vehicle or even worse thoughts.

You need to understand that there is no lockout situations that our experienced and skillful locksmiths cannot effectively and efficiently provide a suitable solution for with minimal or no damage whatsoever.

2. Do Not Tamper The Situation Further!

If you intend to get out of the lock-out situation as smoothly as possible, do not tamper with the lock if you do not have the necessary tools, knowledge and skills of how to go about it.

Attempting to do so may damage the lock and thus complicate the situation by reducing the chances of the opening the lock without forceful entry which should be the action of last resort.

3. Do Not Seek Advice From Amateurs!

One of the greatest challenges I have noted with most people, and I must admit that I am also guilt of this at times is that we seek advice from amateurs in given fields or people who have absolutely no background information on our subject when we are subjected with a crisis.

Has your car ever broken down somewhere and you pulled over to figure out what was the problem and while at it you have to scratch your head and ponder on what best to do as you have all these wonderful, amazing and friendly passer-bys with each and every one of them having a different and very "sensible" looking ideas as to what is the actual problem with the car?

Over the years we have been treated to humorous and very innocent versions of how to repair jammed locks or act in a lock out situations. Some people believe that the locksmith will appear with a master key and just open the lock. It is thus very important to learn about the MASTER KEYING SYSTEM from professionals.
