3 Tips for Preventing a Car Lockout

• It can be super frustrating when you accidentally
  lock yourself out of your car, but, with the
  following 3 tips, you can help to prevent this
  from happening, or at the very least, mitigate
  your frustration levels
• Always carry a spare set of car keys
• If youve only got one key to your car, talk to
  your local auto locksmith about having another
  one cut so that if you do lose your original set,
  or theyre stolen, you can get back into your car
  with minimal fuss.

• Remember to select an appropriate place to keep
  your spare keys, as its unlikely that it will be
  convenient to carry them with you at all times.
• Once your car is locked, put the keys straight in
  your pocket!
• This might sound like a no-brainer, but youd be
  surprised to learn just how many people dont do
  this. Instead of placing the keys inside the
  trunk while you get your grocery bags out, or
  leaving them right on the seat next to you
  because youre in a hurry to be somewhere, place
  them straight into your purse, briefcase or
  pocket. Do this consistently, and itll soon
  become a habit that you couldnt forget to do,
  even if you tried!

• That said, a lot of modern vehicles have built in
  systems that can detect if youve left your keys
  inside the car, but its still a good idea to
  make pocketing your keys as soon as youve locked
  up, a habit.
• Check the batteries in your car key fob
• Key fobs are common on many cars nowadays, and
  they are great for helping to prevent car
  lockouts. Remote lock mechanisms make it super
  easy and convenient for drivers if theyve got
  their key fob on them, but even these can run out
  of batteries, and when they do, you wont be able
  to use it to get inside your car. Simply check
  your car key fob batteries regularly, and this
  should never happen.

• You can also attach your car key fob to a key
  chain and keep it on you at all times to make
  sure you can always get into your car when you
  need to.
• If you didnt already know, auto locksmiths are
  able to help with all manner of car key problems,
  and in the majority of cases, seeking their help
  is quicker and cheaper than going to a car
  dealership.
