Losing your car key is the worst feeling in the world and our driving schools Wakefield know this. Wakefield is such a populated place and someone at some point is bound to lose their keys. Here you will find what you can do if you do ever lose your car key and how to prevent it from happening in the first place:

• Don't panic! Doing so makes it harder to think and helps no one. You need to relax, take a big deep breath and try to think where you last had your key.
• Check everywhere! Turn your house upside down before you decide to look for professional help. Think of the last place you had your key and common places in your house where you may leave them. Remember also to check small gaps where it may have fallen out of your pocket.
• If you live in a house with others in may be the case that they have moved your key, or know of its location. This isn't always the case but it's worth asking!
• If you think you have lost your car key outside of the house then go to the place where you last saw them. If it's a shop or complex ask customer service if any have been handed in. You will probably find that people will return car keys because they're of no use to them.
• If all else fails it's time to call for professional help. You will need to contact a local professional auto locksmith. Calling an auto locksmith out can be expensive so make sure you are prepared to pay the price for your mistake.

Most people might now be thinking how do I prevent this from happening? Even the most forgetful person is capable of keeping their key safe and following these few simple tips they can:

• Buy a key hook where you can hang your keys from every time you walk through the door so you always know where your keys are. These aren't expensive at all and can save you a lot of money in replacement car keys. Just remember that when deciding where to hang it to keep it out sight.
• You don't even need to buy a key hook. Keep your keys in a draw or a bowl and use this in the same way.
• Always have a spare key in your house. Getting a simple key cut is very cheap to do and will save you money if you ever lose your key. Getting the original key cut is a lot cheaper than having to make the key and program it without knowing what it looks like!
