I am sure most of us know a person who is always leaving the
key to their house in the window or another not so secret spot because not
everyone in the household owns a key; if we don’t, we are probably that person.
If someone in a household is going out and another person from the household
isn’t home and doesn’t have a key, the other person will be forced to leave a
key somewhere so the other person isn’t locked out of the house when they get
back. Annoying, isn’t it? But somehow, people prefer doing that to simply
calling a locksmith for key duplication.
I don’t even have to point out how dangerous it is for
people to leave their keys there. Maybe burglars don’t go from house to house
checking if homeowners left the key in a secret spot, but you never know if you
are being watched as you place your key in the window. That is a possibility
and you are putting yourself at risk, you are making yourself a target every
time you do that. Key duplication is a simple, inexpensive solution to this
problem but people sometimes aren’t very logical.
Safety is definitely something that matters to everyone, yet
very few people will make sure their home is secure. It is as simple as picking
up the phone and calling a locksmith to get key duplication but somehow people are too lazy to even do that. I have
a few friends that used to have a secret spot where they would leave their key
instead of taking it with them. Some did it so that others from the household
could enter and others just did it to not be carrying the key around. But I convinced
them to contact a locksmith and increase their home’s security. There are a lot
of dangerous people are there and if you are being watched, you are exposing
yourself and it’s very likely that someone will break into your house and rob
you. Is that something you want or would you prefer to call a locksmith and get
another set of keys?
