Are Spare Keys Really Necessary?
In short yes! Spare keys are important for everyone to have, whether you leave them with a friend, family member, neighbour or in a secure location, you should have a set of spare keys.
Having a spare set of keys means if you leave yours at work or lose them completely you can easily regain access to your property without having to break the lock or damage the door itself.
Reasons To Have Spare Keys
Without a set of spare keys for your property you could end up finding yourself caught off-guard especially if you lose your keys. Having a set of keys means you won’t need your lock replacing to regain access to your property.
Spare sets of keys can be left with anyone such as family members, friends, neighbours or even in a secure place such as at work. You can leave your spare keys at various locations meaning you have access to a number of places where you can get your keys from.
