Question:

Locked myself out of house I'm sitting?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I locked the door to my neighbors house with the only key inside.

I am house sitting for them for a few weeks but I don't know if I can get back in.

They have a pet who I just fed but I know that she won't be able to live off of that much food for very long.

Can someone help me with finding a way in?

  1. slide a credit card into the crack on the door near the door k**b/lock


  2. call the fireman

  3. Some house sitter you are. First of all, get off the computer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Secondly, break a window and get in and then call the glass

    repair people and get it fixed before they come back.

  4. Do not break the window, only as a last resort.  Most windows now are double or triple pane and would cost much more to replace than to pay a locksmith.  Call the police and ask them what you can do, they will either help you out, or they will tell you who to call for help.  Good luck!

  5. find some window that you can take the screen off. if you cant take the screen off make a whole in the part where you unscrew it. haha thats what i do when im locked out is climb through my window. even if you gotta get on the roof somehow. trust me ive done it!

  6. try and find a open window

  7. Slide a credit card in the door jam just to the left and a little above the door k**b

    Slide and wiggle until you get  the card behind that little metal piece that keeps the door from opening.

  8. Guessing you checked for open windows...

    Call the cops.

  9. Call a locksmith to open the door.  

  10. call your neighbor and ask if they have any spare keys hidden  

  11. call the police and get off the computer

  12. Can you call your neighbors? Maybe there is an open window or another way to get in.  

  13. call a locksmith or

    see if any windows are open

  14. You can call a locksmith to let you in. It's about $50 but probably worth it to avoid a malnourished pet. Or, you can call the neighbors to ask whether they have a spare key with someone else or a hide-a-key. Or, you can try to break in, but that's probably a bad and more expensive idea. After you get in, get a shoelace or key ring with a clip or something so you don't lose the key again.

  15. break into it. i do it all the time when i forget my keys when i come home from school. check all the windows, most second floor windows arent locked so find a ladder and climb through the window. or give in and ask for help from the fire dept or a locksmith.

  16. you can call and aske them if they have a spare key or you can break in through a window.  

  17. a. pick the lock---our use a credit card to open it...(if you know how and they dont  have an alarm system haha)

    b. window?

    c. call police/firemen


  18. See if any windows or doors were left unlocked. If they have a sliding glass door, use a credit card under the door to move the deadbolt that is near the floor (but watch out so that the card doesn't end up locked inside too). You might have to call them if you can't find a way in so that their pet gets fed.

  19. call a locksmith it's gonna cost you but you'll avoid the headache and the chance of damaging the house trying to break in.  

  20. Get off the computer >.>

  21. You should definitely call someone like a locksmith or whatever those people are called. LOL.  

  22. gonna have to break through window then buy a new one


  23. That's happened to me before.

    Call your neighbours and ask if there is a spare key somewhere.  If not, or if you can't get in touch with them, get a locksmith to open the door for you.  Just look up locksmith in the yellow pages.  You need to get in.  You can't abandon the job.  Good luck.

  24. Have you tried the windows? take the screens off, and I bet you'll be able to climb inside.

    If that doesn't work, I'm sure that you could always hire a professional who deals with locks, etc.

    Good luck!

  25. check the windows, find a way in dont let the animals starve

  26. Check all doors/windows to see if anything else is unlocked. If not, try contacting the owners about an extra key. Or you could try picking the lock with a pin, or nail.

  27. After trying all the doors and windows, call a locksmith, don't explain anything to him unless he asks.  It will cost, but it is better than letting the pet die.  Good luck.

  28. Smash the window, call the police, call neighbors and ask if they have a extra key.........

        

                Hope this helped!

  29. call a locksmith.

    Or look for a window that's not locked and you can crawl through.

    If you can't afford a locksmith, this video will show you how to make a key to get in...

  30. I have never had to pay for a locksmith to open my house even though I've locked myself out several times. One way we get in is to kick the door full force, but that can break glass near the door. It has gone well for us. Another is that not all of our windows lock and we can use a ladder to get to the second floor.

    You could call the neighbors and they can mail you their key or tell you who else has a spare key. You can also check for a doggy door. You can buy food and slide it in through the mail slot in the door if they have one.  

  31. you should call the police and explain your story. they will help you out :] also if they have a garage door opener try using that... hope i helped :]
