It is quite common to lose your house keys or to have them stolen. If this happens, you will be glad that you have copies of your keys made, putting them on key tags and kept hidden in a safe place like a safe with a dual lock and override cabinet key. You can give a copy to a trusted friend or family member who can let you into your house if you ever get locked out. If you don't want to keep a spare key with someone else, you can hide one outside your home. Make sure to choose a hiding spot that is well-hidden but also easy for you to remember. A good idea is to bury the key in a small container in your garden. Another option is to install a lockbox on the outside of your home. This way, you can store your spare key inside and use a code to access it. This is a great option if you have multiple people who need access to your homes, such as family members or roommates. In order to make duplicate keys an emergency locksmith can help.
