Summertime means plenty of beach parties, barbecues, and road trips. Unfortunately, it could also mean losing your keys during one of these trips. Losing your car key can be hugely frustrating and stressful if you do not have a spare set. Getting extra car keys made before heading out on your next adventure can help prevent your summer activities from turning into a nightmare.
Lost Car Keys
It is far easier to lose your car keys than you may think. Between volleyball sessions on the beach and trips down winding roads with the windows down, your keys can disappear anywhere. The worst part is realizing your keys are missing when you want to head home. You will have to struggle to find a nearby locksmith or flag down help. Getting home can become a massive problem if you do not have a spare car key or a tracker linked to your original car keys.
Broken Car Keys
Another reason to get car keys made this summer is to ensure you have a spare key in case yours gets broken. If you enjoy hiking, water sports, and camping and carry your keys with you, there is a chance they may become damaged or snap. There is also the risk of your car key breaking in the ignition. If this happens, turning the remainder of the key forcefully to remove it can damage your car’s ignition cylinder. If you can remove it safely, your spare key will get you home. If not, you will need to call a professional locksmith for help.
Locking the Keys Inside Your Car
Just one sudden distraction can lead to you closing your car door with the keys still in the ignition. If you get locked out of your car this way and do not have another set of keys, you will likely be stranded for a while. You can avoid this situation by keeping a spare key in a safe place or on your person.
Alternating Between Two Sets of Car Keys
If you have two sets of car keys, you can alternate between them, which will reduce their wear and tear. It is also more convenient to have two sets of car keys if more than one person drives your car. If you keep having to hand over your keys, there is a greater risk of them being misplaced.
Increased Car Value
If you want to sell your car this summer, making an extra set of car keys can increase its value. It may be a very small effort, but it can pay off big time when selling your car.
