I really wish they'd let us have spare keys. So far I haven't locked myself out when nobody's home, but if I do I'm probably fucked. I would just take the keys to Bunnings and get a spare one cut and hide in myself, but they're those stupid security ones no locksmith will duplicate. I guess that's good since they don't change the locks when people move out, but it's also a PITA because they refuse to authorise a spare key

They gave some half arsed excuse about how people could break in by smashing a lockbox with a brick or a rock. They don't seem to realise that windows can also be broken with bricks and rocks

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 🤷🏻‍♀️
