Re: How many times!!
I did it last night
.I have a cupboard in the garage and a hook concealed in the cupboard on which hangs a front door key and a key to the door between the garage and the kitchen.
The keys are covered by an old dog coat which hides them . I lock the garage when I go on holiday

Re: How many times!!
Never but my ex did once and I got the blame (I was at work at the time and just couldn't get away) because she had left the back door open and went out the front. The wind caused the front door to slam shut. Couldn't get round to the back because the garage was in the way.27-01-2021, 06:06 PM

Good job you have that safe place then....
Do you ever get scared, being so isolated?

I always make sure I have my keys now, as soon as I think ,dog walk, keys come into my mind, straight away, I check and double check, that they are in my pocket.
Then I get so far up the road and my mind says, are you sure your keys are in your pocket, so it makes me doubt, have to check my pocket again......after that, if it starts again, I just tell it to shut up!...

Re: How many times!!
Not exactly locked ourselves out, but a while back we returned home from a shopping expedition to find the lock broke when I tried to turn the key, it just spun round and round without doing anything. The door was one of those five bolt things, so it was impossible to kick it in....I tried and failed miserably.After pondering the situation for a while, the bloke who lives at the back of our house came round to see what the fuss was all about. He thought we were being burgled!...
Fortunately, he fits PVC windows and doors for a living and came round with his drill, it still took an hour to release the five bolts....Good job it was a cold day, and we managed to salvage all the frozen stuff....

Re: How many times!!
Never, but I have helped a couple of people who locked themselves out.I used a ladder to climb through an open bathroom window after a neighbour of my Lovely Cousin's grandfather locker herself and her young child out.
When my neighbours opposite did the same, I removed the beading round a window, took the double glazed unit out, then climbed through to unlock their back door.
This is why windows should be fitted from the inside so burglars can't do that.

No I don't get scared and there are other houses around , I would be a lot more scared living in a town with lots of strangers around.
I live on a no-through-road right at the end so anyone coming down coming here has to go back the same way no quick getaways .
