Spare keys
As if losing your wallet is not enough, a wallet with your spare house keys in it and IDs with your home address is like an open invitation for thieves to make an unwanted visit to your place. Even if thieves robbing your house is the worst-case scenario, in another scenario you’d still have to have a locksmith change the locks and pay for his services.
Security experts advise people to avoid jeopardizing their properties and families by keeping their spare keys with a relative or friend, not in their wallets. This way, if you are ever locked out, you have someone to call for help in retrieving your backup key.
Or, even better, use modern technologies and forget the standard keys. There are now plenty of smart lock options for your home. Such technologies allow you to lock and unlock the front door by using a keypad or an app. Your door can also be locked/unlocked remotely and in some cases, you might also have the opportunity to create a digital key for one-time use, should you need to let in certain people, for example, housekeepers.
