It happens to us all at some point: We lose our car keys and want to kick ourselves for it. What's worse is that it always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Murphy's law in effect! Like maybe you are miles from home and you really don't want to be walking home or you stopped in a sketchy neighborhood just to pick up some groceries and you definitely do not want to stay there for hours.
Those scenarios are easy to avoid if you take some precautions and if the worst comes to happen, then there are ways to get back in your car without your car keys. Of course, you could just call a car locksmith and be done with it.
The simplest method of preventing lock-outs is simply to carry a spare key on your person, not in your handbag, not in your glove box, but actually on your person. This can be easier said than done of course, particularly for women, where different clothing may not exactly be a good fit for that. There are ways to get around it, for example by wearing a key chain around your neck, but that's hardly comfortable. Wearing a hard, sharp object like that may even scratch or injure you if you fall, so let's count that out for the moment.
The second method is to actually learn how to pick a lock. So, you would actually become a car locksmith yourself. This actually isn't as difficult as you may think, but it only works on older locks. Locks on modern cars are much more advanced and difficult to pick. Still, if your car has old locks, you may be able to pull it off without too much difficulty. However, you should probably keep in mind that lockpicking isn't exactly your everyday activity and people may wonder what the heck you are up to. Anyway, the tool of the trade for lockpicking is a tension wrench combined with a flat long object like a screwdriver.
If none of the above suggestions seem attractive, then just call a car locksmith. Just like with regular locksmiths, a car locksmith is a professional that can open any lock and create temporary keys. Car locksmiths also have 24 hour services for the most part. They can also usually handle modern transponder keys.
