Hiding House Keys: Is it Safe?

When you were a kid, you probably

remember that place where your

parents would hide a house key for

those "just in case" moments.

Maybe it was under the door mat or

a nearby flower pot or rock. These

types of spare key hiding places are

not safe at all. Times have changed

and criminals are sneaky and aware

of these hiding places as well as

other more clever ones.

Some homeowners choose to secure their spare keys in a key vault. They

are small, waterproof and secure. Key vaults require a combination in order

to open and are ideal for those searching for a quick way to get into their

home if they happen to be locked out.

Others choose to rely on a trusted neighbor to keep a spare house key in

case of emergencies. The only problem with this option is that you are out of

luck if they are not home or even out of town when you need access to your

spare key.

Another option is to hide your spare house key in a magnetized key box

underneath your car. Studies have shown that most robberies happen

between 10am and 3pm. Chances are, you will be at work during those

times so your house key will be far away from home - and the burglar.

Instead of trying to figure out the perfect place to hide your spare key,

consider investing in home automation door locks. These high tech locks

allow you to unlock and lock your doors using your Smartphone or laptop.

Just make sure not to give your access information out to anyone unless it is

someone you can completely trust.

Making smart choices when it comes to your spare key is important. With

the amount of crime in the world today, you can never be too careful when it

comes to the safety of your home, your family and your belongings.
