This is what we have on all of our house doors. It also means we don’t have to worry about the kids losing their keys and if we need workmen or someone to be able to get in we can easily set up a temporary combination for them and delete it when they’re done.
Hasn’t anybody else ever heard of a fake rock? ?
cheap and easy.
But I suppose not too useful in Manhatten.
A spare car key is best attached to the car, since you can be far away or it can be very late at night, or both. I have hidden spares inside taillights, or taped to the back of a license plate, or attached with wire underneath the car. The most I would need to retrieve the spare is a screwdriver.
Unfortunately the new, expensive and large keys preclude doing this.
