Locking yourself out of your house happens to the best of us. However, it can also pose some serious risks, particularly if there’s someone inside who needs you, like children or a family pet.

If you find yourself locked out of your home in Copenhagen, there are a few ways to get back inside. This article will list what to do if you get locked out, including quickly asking around for assistance, ringing a locksmith Copenhagen and searching for unlocked windows and doors.

Call a locksmith 

If you desperately need to gain access back into your home, calling a professional locksmith is your best option for the quickest way to get back in. You can get help from our locksmiths in Copenhagen who will be there within 30 minutes, no matter the reason you got locked out in the first place.

The cost of lockout services can vary depending on the situation, but if you’re stuck in an emergency or are battling bad weather outside, it’s definitely the best option. 

Seek external help

Shouting for someone to help from inside your house when you’re locked out unfortunately won’t always work – not to mention if there’s no one else home!

Therefore, asking for help from someone who’s outside the property can be a good idea. You might have given a neighbour a spare key, for example, or a friend that lives close by. If you share your home with a partner, you can always ring them to see if they can come home and help, too.

For rental properties, you can also reach out to your landlord; landlords typically have a spare copy of the keys to their properties and might be nearby to come help. Equally, if it’s an apartment block, the manager’s office will also have an extra set of keys.

However, be warned, they might charge an additional lockout fee to get back inside!

Identify unlocked windows and doors

Despite unlocked windows and doors being a massive security risk, they can also be pretty useful if you lose your keys. Checking all the entrances to your home doesn’t hurt when trying to get back in, just remember to take care when shimmying through a window – you’re likely to land off-balance!

And of course, remember to lock any open windows and doors straight back up after.

Becoming locked outside shouldn’t immediately lead to panic, and there are plenty of options available to help get you back inside.
