A calm, safety-first checklist for an after-hours home lockout. Written for Burnaby, British Columbia.
Put safety first
Move to a safe, well-lit place if possible. If there is an immediate safety concern, medical emergency, or active crime, call emergency services before making an access request.
Have the right details ready
Be ready to confirm your location, identification or authorization, the door type, and what happened to the key or lock. Avoid forcing a window, key, or lock mechanism.
