Get help

If you live with a partner, roommate, or have neighbors, call them for help. You can never tell; it might just happen. Additionally, if you live in a block of flats, chances are the locks are slightly similar, and one key can open the other. If this is the case, we have some advice for you. Once the day opened, get the services of a locksmith to rekey the locks and get a new key. While you wait, reach out to the landlord or property caretaker if they have a key to open the door.

Passing through a window

Now, this option is only viable if the window will accommodate your body size and if you have an extra key inside your home. If the window is locked, please do not pry it open or damage it. If the window is open, climb through after removing the screen and be careful as you do that. If the window is small, please do not squeeze your weight through it.

Do not pick the lock.

It can be tempting to want to pick your lock in a residence lockout, but be careful. If you are not a certified locksmith, picking your lock will amount to more damage and extra expenses for a simple mistake. Do not attempt to drill the lock either, as it will destroy the pins and cylinder. Additionally, do not attempt to force the door open or use force. You will damage the lock, the door, and the hardware.

So if you do not want to buy a new lock and hardware, do not tamper with your lock in a lockout, but do the next option.
