Short answer: Check every door and window, call anyone with a spare, then call a locksmith with a real business name. Expect to show ID.
First, the free options
- Walk around: the back door, the garage, a slider that does not latch well.
- Call anyone with a spare key: a family member, neighbor or roommate.
- If you rent, call your landlord or property manager. Many keep a key.
- If a child, pet or someone who needs help is inside, or you smell gas or smoke, call 911.

What not to do
- Do not break a window. It costs more than a locksmith and leaves the house open.
- Do not pry the door. A bent frame or broken jamb is a bigger repair.
- Do not climb in through a second-story window.
When the locksmith arrives
They will ask for ID and something that ties you to the address. Most front doors can be opened without damage. Afterward is a good time to make a spare, or to ask about a keypad lock so it does not happen again.
