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!

yes, once out of the house, but never out of the car.
Our garage opener wouldn’t work and of course no keys to the house and we just came back from a 2 week vacation, never want that again
Yes , car
not yet. thanks
Oh my gosh, yes! I locked my purse and keys in the trunk of my car when setting up for an open house. Thankfully I had already let myself in to the home so could walk there and was able to use the phone to ask my neighbour to break into my house and bring me my spares (this is in the days before cell phones).
I have locked myself out of my car a few times, thank heavens for CAA!!
Locked both in the morning, before going to work on rainy day.
Yes, I’ve locked my keys in the car several times in my life, but never locked myself out of my house. Lost the keys in the house though when I’m in a hurry to get to work so knowing where a spare set is safe and secure would be handy for sure!
I had a vehicle that i didnt have a door key for. We locked ourselves out of that more than once. I also have been locked out taking out the garbage when my 3 yr old was playing with the door handle. I would LOVE this.
YES sadly I have managed to lock myself out of my house!
