11. Hide a Key in the Keypad
It takes hours, not days, for my younger kids to lose their house keys. My solution was to install a remote keypad for the garage door opener. That worked great until one day we lost power and my 12-year-old son was left out in the cold … literally. I discovered that my key fit right behind the nine-volt battery inside the keypad. A key in a keypad—now that’s ironic.
