    Twice I’ve locked myself out of my house. Had to take the glass slats out of the toilet window, scale up the down pipe, perch on the window sill and decide whether I wanted to take a giant leap missing the toilet or risk sliding off the lid and slamming into the closed door. We now have a spare key hidden in the yard.

      In those instances it’s better to see if you can hold on to the ledge and scale or drop down instead of jumping or making a leap.

      It would significantly reduce the height from which you come down if you did that or had room to do that.

      Learnt this from if we ever had to escape a fire from out of a window.

      Spare keys somewhere useful, memorable, and not one of those dumb fake rocks is an art.

          Truthfully, locks only stop honest or lazy people. If they really want in, things are getting broken. Get windows that look really noisy to smash 🤷🏻‍♀️
