What to do now
Get somewhere safe, check the simple options, then request a locksmith.

- If anyone is in danger — a child or pet locked in a car or home in heat, or a break-in in progress — call 000 first.
- Wait somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night.
- Check for a spare key with a household member, neighbour or property manager.
- Have ID and proof of address or vehicle ownership ready.
- Do not force the door or window.
- Send the request form.
- After a break-in, report it to the police and contact your insurer.
