The House Boy is furnished with a house key for access to and from the Master’s home, and there is a combination access secure storage box inside his bedroom for his ID and valuables. It is the responsibility of the boy to secure and safeguard the key at all times. 

In the event that the boy locks himself out of the house, he is not permitted to seek help or enter while he is wearing any clothing. The reason for this policy is because the boy should have already entered the house and removed his clothing, had he not misplaced or forgotten his key. The protocol requires the boy to strip naked before attempting to contact the Master for entry. 

In the example shown, the House Boy has hastily removed his clothing alongside the house and is attempting to get the Master’s attention by yelling through an upstairs window. The Master will eventually let him in, and immediately administer a Level One Spanking for unnecessarily inconveniencing the Master. An additional Level One Spanking will be given because the boy failed to properly fold his clothing (See ‘Protocol – Getting Undressed’). 

House Boys who lose a key where it can’t be recovered by the boy or anyone else – such as dropped down a storm drain or into a pond – are subject to an additional Level Two Spanking as punishment for losing the key. If the lost key is at risk of being found or used by someone else for entry to the house without permission and the Master chooses to re-key the lock, the House Boy is subject to a severe Level Three Discipline.

If the House Boy is accompanied by someone else and the boy discovers that he has lost or misplaced his key, the boy may ask whoever is accompanying him to contact the Master for entry. The boy will still be required to strip naked before entering the house, and the person who contacted the Master for entry will be given the option of administering a Level One Spanking for causing the inconvenience.
