Poll: Spare Keys

[mysid]

A relative recently showed my her super-secret hiding place for a spare key into her house. It got me wondering how other people handle spare keys for emergencies.

PS- I meant to include a choice of "My landlord and/or building manager has a spare key" but I forgot. If that's the case, just check the one about a neighbor having a key.

You've reminded me that I need to arrange to leave a key with my friend up the road! Currently, I'd have to contact one of my brothers.

Glad to have been of help with a reminder!

My daughter (13 at the time) picked the hiding spot so I'm hoping no burglar would suspect it. *grin*

Key-Box.
It's a box you put in a place near your front door or wherever, and you can only get into it thanks to a combination. The spare key is there. Of course, it doesn't do shit if you don't keep the combination to the key box a secret. :)

I actually lost my house key and my parents had to re-key the locks before they left for vacation. You never know who has it or how many copy's have been made of the key. So it's best to change your locks or re-key your locks if you've ever lost your keys.
