    Not one for me again, called in a locksmith today. 
    Oooops! Sounds like there is a story to tell there, cathybird .

    Today was NSD #5 for me!
    There is, not me locking myself out though, my porch door has a weather rail at the bottom that had split, so I took it off to replace it but as soon as I did that the bottom rail of the door fell off - it has quite bad rot. That can all be dealt with but without the bottom rail the door was sitting differently so it wouldn't lock :/ hence the need for a locksmith, who fixed it quite quickly at least.

    That's annoying.  I once got back after a late night out and my key snapped off in the lock.  That wasn't a fun time to call a locksmith out!
