at least 4 sets of keys hidden in two secret spots and with two different people. I have never gotten locked out but they have and who do they come to for help...yup, yours truly. Then after I let them into the gate and they can get inside their apt do they ever get more copies of their keys made? NO! This has happened over 10 times with my neighbors over the years. I am glad you learned your lesson and have copies now. You can never be too careful, extra keys are like cheap insurance for not getting locked out. Well worth the tiny investment in time and money.
