This should help:

Type "locksmith" into the search engine left at top of page and you'll find the listings.

Caribbean Lock and Safe advertises 24 hour service; and there's also D&V One Stop in Sion Farm and a company called, "Lock Emergency" but with only a cell number and island not listed (which sometimes indicates they have contacts on all 3 islands). Oh well, hopefully the info will be of use to someone else in a similar predicament at some time!

PS: Tell your friends to get a spare made and hide one outside!

A combination lockbox is a great thing to have for a home!
They sell them at Home Depot as well as most Lock Smith stores.
I use one on my house just in case I lose my keys (God forbid).:-o
They attach around the doorknob, a railing or grill work so they cannot be taken off unless one has the combination to open the key compartment. Easy to use as long as you can remember the combination!;)

I keep a spare car key in my lockbox as well so that should I lock my key in the truck, (yes, I did it once!) I can ask a friend to swing by to get it without having to go into the house and deal with all the dogs waiting there as I know they are already barking up a storm by having someone just in the driveway without me being there.

We don't use keys to get into our house. We have a coded lock. Just got to remember the code.
You can buy one online. We love it.
