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!

funny story – my cousin and I were shopping and locked us out of the vehicle once, we called her grandma who said she would call somebody to come help us, and after we hung up we remembered that the back by the trunk was open, total blonde moment there
I’ve locked myself out of the car a few times.
These safes are a great way of easing the stress when you lock yourself pout of the house.
And I have locked myself out many times through the years. I’d love to win one of these.

I did lock myself out once about a year ago when I accidentally closed the door and it locked. Good thing I had the back patio door still unlocked
Yes many times
yes, one winter morning at about 1 am, dog woke me up to go outside, so I went out all I had on was a t shirt and socks, door locks behind me. I was panicked for a few minutes, then remembered that the kitchen window lock is busted so I was able to take the screen off, use the recycle box to help me climb in that way. I replaced that window and now keep a key outside under a planter. This would be so much better.
I have locked myself out of both my house and car more times than I care to remember – and have the locksmith bills to go along with that! I’ve also lost my keys on more than one occasion! This lock is a great idea.
Yes to both!!! :) Hey, it happens
I’ve looked myself out of my car and house. The last time I locked myself out of the house, I had to call a locksmith to let me in.
I have locked myself out of my car several times. It’s such a common occurance, I’ve started keeping a spare car key in my purse so I have one with me when I lock my keys in the car at the grocery store.
