My wife was cleaning up the back yard this morning. I decided to go to the store to pick up some stuff for my garage projects, and after going out to tell her I was leaving, I unconsciously locked the door on the way back in, thus locking my wife out of the house for a little over an hour. She was not pleased:sad:

I did something very similar last summer - closed the garage door when driving out as she was outside. Fortunately she went to the neighbors and called my cell right away.

My wife did that to me last year and I went right out and got a keypad for my garage door the next day. Now I can just type in the code and get in!

Locked myself out more than once...no more!

At Home Depot or Lowes (don't remember which one) I picked up a little MasterLock outdoor lock box with a combination for storing a spare key (I guess its pretty commonplace to lock yourself out), and installed it on the back outside wall of my house in a rather inconspicuous place. Saved me many a times...

We have the same thing - love it. It's also really handy when we need friends to come over and feed our pet/check the house when we're traveling.

I can beat that one!! One day just this winter..I was putting gas in our van with our daughter inside. While leaning in to check on her, I accidently locked all the doors. Needless to say...the wife wasnt pleased when I called her to tell her what I just did. Here is some info if this ever happens to you...Pop-A-Lock does free service when a child is involved!!

We have a hidden key outside for things like that.

Maybe that's why Jim Bakker had his doghouse air conditioned.

I thought Iowa was the kind of place where you could leave your garage door open, house unlocked, leave the car running with keys still in it...What happened?

I do all those things. Except the garage thing. I don't have one of those. Most valuable thing in my car: a can of antifreeze/coolant.
