He would unlock the door and put the key back in his pocket, then use the one under his seat to start the car. As long as the bolt was locked either someone is in the room or there was a key outside of the room, it was just a matter of finding it, but you know either you or your roommate locked the door with the key.īack in the 80’s and 90’s long before remote door entry, my uncle always kept a key in his pocket and another under his seat. I am one of the most disorganized people in the world and forget tons of things, but have never locked my keys in my car or house since I started doing this about 20 years ago.Īfter one or two times locking yourself out of your dorm room I started using a similar logic (and making my roommate do it as well). If you get in the habit of doing that - you will never lock your keys in your car or your house. Always lock it from the outside (using the key - or the fob).
IMHO - even better than that is to never lock a door - either car or house using the latch on the lock. It worked but it was a PITA to remove the plate to put it there and it was bear to tear away and pull off when I needed it.Īny solutions you’ve tried that work for you?
HIDE A KEY LICENSE
Years ago when I had a Honda I plastered a key to the interior side of my license plate by cocooning it in double side foam type sticky tape. I cannot open the hood if the doors are locked as the release is interior so the engine compartment as a storage place is out. I’ve seen plastic keyboxs with silding tops held in place with magnets in the past, but the magnet strength on these keyboxes seemed iffy at best and I have no faith they would hold a key in place held if bumped or jostled severely by a pothole or similar or protect the key from the elements. I’m thinking I should try to affix a secured box or holder somewhere out of sight. I normally keep a back up key in my wallet, but it falls out occasionally and I might forget to replace it immediately if I use it. So anyway thinking about dropping OnStar and hiding key somewhere on the exterior.
HIDE A KEY ANDROID
They suggested I try the Android Onstar unlock app which I did but discovered it only works with vehicles newer than 2010 and mine is a 2003. The last three times I’ve requested unlock (clear view of the sky) the service has failed. I have OnStar and the only OnStar service that’s useful (to me) for the $ 20 a month is the door unlocking.
