\nIs there anything more annoying than getting locked out of your house? No matter how it happened, realizing that you don\u2019t have the right key. To avoid ever being confronted with this irritating situation, here are nine genius tips for never getting locked out again.\n
\n
One of the big reasons we lock our keys inside (or at least one of the reasons I constantly do this) is because we\u2019re running late and we can\u2019t find them. We know we put them down in the living room\u2026or maybe the kitchen? Between trying to get out the door and put on your makeup while eating breakfast, you forget to find them.\n
Well, stop this from happening all together by never misplacing your keys again! This handy LEGO board doesn\u2019t just serve as a fun way to decorate your keys, but also as a great way to always keep them in your line of sight.\n
\n
Forget about stashing your key under the doormat; that trick is now so overdone, it could be dangerous. For a trickier hiding place, use a little tape to hide your key under a rock in the yard\/garden.\n
Just be careful not to make this placement TOO tricky, or you might have a hard time finding the key yourself! Make sure to place the rock in a particular spot or give it some kind of distinguishing feature only you would recognize.\n
\n
For an extremely clever place to hide a spare key, screw one behind your car\u2019s license plate. This way you don\u2019t have to worry about intruders stumbling across your outdoor emergency key because it will be with you when you travel!\n
Plus, you know it\u2019s securely in place. Nothing is breaking off that screw easily.\n

Now, this is some James Bond nonsense, and we love it. If you don\u2019t have the time or money to go get a key copied, there is an easy way to make a spare with a few simple materials you probably have right at home.\n
All you need is a tape, a lighter, and some kind of plastic, like from an old credit card or Tic Tac box, for this DIY emergency key.\n
\n
If you\u2019re looking for a more secure way to hide your key, this is a great DIY. Rather than tape your key under a rock, hot glue an empty prescription bottle to the bottom of the rock and put your key inside. Bury the bottle underground (in the garden or front yard) so only the rock is showing.\n
\n
This is a bit of a hassle\u2026but that\u2019s kind of the point. If there aren\u2019t too many places for you to sneakily hide a key (if you live in an apartment, perhaps) this is an interesting tactic: pile a bunch of keys onto a wire loop, forcing both you and any intruders to try everyone to find the real spare.\n
