September is National Preparedness Month and this month as part of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad, I get the chance to help you protect your keys so that you’re prepared in case you ever lock yourself out of the house. Depending on the time of year, accidentally locking the keys inside can be a pretty horrible experience. I remember once returning home with my two young boys after running some errands in bone chilling winter weather only to realize that I’d forgotten to bring my keys. The panic I felt as I tried to figure out how to get my boys out of the cold was something I don’t ever want to have to experience again.
While hiding a key outside is a popular solution to situations like mine, there’s always the worry that somebody will find the key and take it, or even use it to break into the house. The Master Lock Storage Security 5423D Key Safe is the perfect solution. It allows a family to safely store a spare key or access card outside without worrying about anybody else being able to take it. The wall-mount safe is durable, has large, easy-to-read buttons and can be programmed with a combination of up to twelve digits.
To ensure you never get stuck outside, Master Lock is very generously offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader their very own Storage Security 5423D Key Safe and a $10 Visa gift card, a $48 total value! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about whether or not you’ve ever locked yourself out of your house or car.
Taking the time to make preparations for those unexpected emergencies is always a good idea and this month is a great time to ensure that your car’s emergency kit is stocked for cold weather, your window and door locks are functional and your spare key is safely secured somewhere accessible just in case. Fortunately, the Master Lock Storage Security Key Safe and the other great Master Lock products can help keep you safe and secure all year long!

I’ve locked myself out of my car once, but never my house
I lock myself out of my car on a regular basis, I think the local locksmith recognizes my phone number. Fortunately, I usually have my phone in my pocket.

I have not actually. One time a long long time ago my sister (when she was a baby) locked herself in the car!! Lol my mother ended up fixing it all up though.
Unfortunately I do on a regular basis!!! Bought a car with keypad entry for this very reason!!!
no thank goodness but my 3yr old grandson did flip the lock on my patio door whilst I was outside, luckily I could persuade him to open it again – kids eh?
For a few years I had CAA on auto-dial….yes.

I lock myself out of my apartment all the time – the landlord is always complaining when I come to him to let me in.
Out of the house, in my night shirt, Crocs I slide on to toss recycling in the garage – December 26, 2013, 8am. No phone, no where to go with no pants on but the neighbors!
