WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO IF YOU ARE LOCKED OUT OF YOUR HOUSE?

Do not stress out and lose your calm. Getting anxious about being locked out of the house could mean doing something you will regret later, such as picking up a brick and breaking a ground-floor window in a desperate attempt to get in as soon as possible. Plus, losing your temper and clear thinking could cause you to skip a few important steps, such as making sure there are no windows or doors that might have been left open or unlocked.

You should also not forget to call your neighbors, partners, roommates, landlord or building manager and retrieve a spare key from them. Depending on the particularities of your situation and the time of the day that you are at, this solution may not always be viable.
