As locksmiths in Durham, NC, A-1 Lock & Safe is available for all of your auto, commercial, and residential lock needs. Have you ever locked yourself out of your car? Plenty of us have found ourselves in this frustrating and inconvenient situation. If this happens to you, don’t worry. Here is what you should do:
- First of all, don’t panic if you lock yourself out of your car. You might be tempted to break your window, especially if you’re in a hurry to get somewhere, but that isn’t a good idea. Not only does it make mess, but you also risk getting hurt and you’re going to have the additional cost of replacing your window.
- Next, call A-1 Lock & Safe for help. If you locked your phone in your car as well, you can ask to borrow someone else’s phone or you can go to a nearby business and ask to use theirs. Even if this happens outside of our regular business hours, we are on call 24 hours for emergencies, so we’ll be there for you.
- What about if you lock your child or your pet in the car? If they are not in distress and it is not hot outside that day, call immediately for help and wait patiently. Try to stay calm to help keep your child or pet calm as well. If it is a life-threatening situation, call emergency services immediately, and if absolutely necessary, break the window farthest from your child or pet.
If you ever find yourself locked out of your car, give us a call at A-1 Lock & Safe, and we will be there to help.
