I can easily break into my apartment through the kitchen window, the only one that wouldn’t require a ladder, but then I’d have to replace the glass. We could get back into the building by waiting around for a neighbor, who would probably recognize us or at least not find the old couple with the wheelchair threatening. But we’d be late for wherever we were going, which is usually a medical appointment. When I go out alone I usually don’t lock the unit door because it’s more dangerous for my husband if I crash or something and nobody can get in to help him than the chances of someone breaking in with evil intent.
Wait, you don’t know how to easily break into your own house. But it is your own house!
Sorry I did not read apartment. I guess I can understand if it is an apartment.

Would it be cheaper though to replace a broken window than to call a locksmith?
The locksmith is definitely less hassle and depending how busy they are a matter of minutes.
