Now I am also wondering why you would hide your window keys? just leaving them on the dining room table would be ok.....burglars are not likely to want to break out or are they? or is this just incase they come back to burgle you again?...when they would normally have to break through a double glazed window, to find the key doesn't work as you have had them changed :-D |

Our front door and back door open with the same key so we take one house key and maybe one of the vehicle's keys when we go away. I then hide the window keys and all others. When I get back I can't always remember the clever place that I put them.. so if I can't fairly sure a burglar can't as well. |

The point about the key in the front door is this: they get in the back, find a suitcase or a duvet cover, put all your stuff in it then let themselves out the front door. They can open it because the key is there. You only need to leave the key in the door at night when you're in bed so you can escape in case of fire. |

Jax trust me a good locksmith can sort any lock out. There is always a way. |

As already said Uzzi If some of us left our keys in whilst out ,we could not get back in unless we called out a locksmith....plus still cannot see how you can remove the keys from the outside |

You could also have a spare key hanging on a long piece of string inside your front door, just poke hand through letter box to get it :-D |

We have a upvc stable door at the 'back', which is actually the door nearest the road :-D. If you lock and leave the key in it, you can't open it from the outside with a key. It also has a deadlock on the bottom half which we always lock at night and when out. The front door has no letterbox, just a Yale lock and a deadlock. I don't lock windows, just close them. Sister has a spare set of keys - she lives about 5 miles away. |

This must be the key safe....wouldn't a burglar be able to break into it? |

Sorry I don't live in London and not heard of burglars in this area smashing the door in......so really cannot see what your argument is about |

As said before by someone else. If they want to get in that badly they will. |

I would still like to know how a burglar is going to get the keys out of the door unless they are Twizzle......how would they know they are in there? |

Those key safes can be probably prised off the wall or whereever they are positioned. |
