New exhibit: The Spare Key Under the Mat. 🗝️ Ohio, c. 1950 to 2026. Retired.
It had a good run. So did the fake rock. The trouble is that the doormat, the flowerpot, and the "rock" by the steps are the first three places anyone checks, including people you'd rather not have inside.
What replaces it:
🔢 A smart lock with door codes. Give the dog walker or a relative their own code, and turn it off when you're done.
📱 An alert on your phone the moment the front door opens, so you know who came home and when.
🔔 A video doorbell, so you can see who's at the door before you open it, even from work.
🛡️ 24/7 monitoring behind it all, so a real problem gets help fast.
Let the old key retire with dignity. We'll set you up with something smarter.
