I always have a key in my pocket and one secreted in the yard (no not under the mat or on top of the frame but I am not saying)

However in 1972 I was in Vic. HMAS Cerberus for the mid winter ball. We got kicked out of the Wardroom for the weekend and had to stay at the Hastings Hotel. After the Ball we did not get back to the hotel until about 1:30AM (Mid June freezing weather). We were locked out. Could not raise anyone. Tried the local cops. no luck

I ended up going around the back and picked the lock on the fire door. Managed to get in and into bed by 2:00AM. Had words with the hotel the next day as to why I was not given a key to get back in if they were closed. They knew where I was going and why I was staying at the hotel.
