It would be great if you could plan your life on a schedule. Not just the stuff that you want to get down, but also the little emergencies and inconveniences that life puts your way when you least expect it. Of course, life does not follow a schedule, and it never will. In fact, emergencies and issues always tend to happen when they are least convenient to you. Case in point: locking yourself out of your home or apartment. You may only do it once or twice in your life, but when you do it: boy, is it an inconvenience. The best way to take care of a lockout is to anticipate it, at least the “idea” of it. While you can never place it on your schedule, you can make sure that you have the number of a trusted Locksmith Portland OR on your phone so that you can call them up when the issue does arise.
The problem with looking for a Locksmith Portland OR at the point where you lock yourself out it that you are not going to be doing a lot of research on it. Frankly, you are just going to be frantically calling options that you find and picking the one who can come out quickest. This means that you are likely to overpay for the service, at least compared to what you could get if you already researched your options and had the best one put on your phone. This way you can call up a professional the moment you lock yourself out and can wait to curse yourself while waiting the hour or less it would take for them to get to your home.
Because of the law of averages, there is a very good chance that you would lock yourself out of your home sometime outside of the normal 9-5/ Monday thru Friday business time frame. With that in mind, you want to make sure that the option that you pick is going to be open and available for you to come out. If necessary, have an emergency ready as well for after-hours options.
