What's Driving Home Lockout Service Demand in New Jersey
A large share of New Jersey residents commute to jobs in New York City, and the rushed morning routine of catching a NJ Transit train or PATH connection means keys get left behind, dropped in a coat pocket that goes to the dry cleaner, or locked inside a house in the scramble to make a departure window. Evening lockouts follow a similar pattern, as commuters arriving home late and juggling bags, phones, and packages are more prone to fumbling with keys at the door than someone with a more relaxed schedule. This commuter-driven lockout rhythm is distinct from the lockout patterns seen in states with less transit-dependent populations, since it clusters heavily around the specific morning and evening windows tied to train schedules rather than being spread evenly throughout the day.
