So, heaven forbid, that we lost our keys, my Mom has a complete set of keys for our house. Generally , our lovely neighbours look after the house when we are away. They have a fob that opens the carport roller door so that they can water the garden. It’s good that we are close enough to people that we can trust them with the keys …. You just never know when an emergency is going to happen , so it’s good to have a back up plan…. Has anyone got spare keys to your house ?

My dad has two sets of spare keys to my house. However, for awhile I kept losing mine repeatedly, and so he had that set for me as well until I found the previous set. Finally, I got myself together, and started really making an effort not to forget to put them in the same place. I haven’t lost them in about two years now. It seems to have been a problem I developed because I hadn’t always done it.

That is the answer; 'a place for everything and everything in its place' as my grandfather reportedly used to say.

My daughter and son in law have a key to my home and I have a key to theirs, too. You are right, it’s best to have a back up plan!

Yes we do and it's a common practice to always have spare keys.

Yes, my best friend has the keys of my apartment. Should I have a problem, she can come to help. I remember when my Mom fell and she did not arrive to get up. I was glad to have the keys to get inside.

Yes, several sets! Our neighbours two houses away have a key, friends down the road have a key, and there's also a key hidden outside.

Just now
The neighbor downstairs has the spare key. I am not on speaking terms with her at the moment though so that's fun. Of course the management company of this complex has the key too.
