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 been locked out of the house before. And it really wasn’t all my fault. I had forgotten my keys but someone was supposed to be home. Except they decided to leave before I got home and therefore out of luck :(
Yes, I have locked myself out of both
I’ve been lucky (or maybe it’s because I’m anal and I triple check if I have my keys) but I’ve never been locked out of my house or car. The time I did lock myself out was in university when I couldn’t get into my locker. To this day I still don’t know how I lost that one key off my keyring!
Out of the house. Had to use a giant ladder to climb through the window!
It never happened (I’m touching wood right now)
Fortunately, I’ve never locked myself out of the house or car.
lol, yes indeed………..just call me the lock out master, I never learn!!! lol

Thanks for the chance.

Yes I have. One time I locked myself out of my car while it was running in the winter time.
