Stay calm, stay safe, and try these quick checks. If you need help, here's how to get a verified pro fast.

First: make sure every door and window is truly locked—especially side doors and sliding patio doors.

If a key has snapped, don't keep turning it; you can damage the cylinder. Take a photo for the pro.
