Be the person who holds a spare key
Almost nobody has a local key-holder any more, which turns a lost key into a locksmith call and a few hundred pounds.

Why it lands
This used to be standard and quietly stopped being so as streets got more anonymous. The cost of not having it is concrete: an emergency locksmith, a child locked out after school, a carer who cannot get in. Being the key-holder asks nothing of you except being at home sometimes, and it makes you the person someone can phone at the worst ten minutes of their week.
How
Offer it as a swap rather than a favor, which makes it mutual instead of charitable: “Do you want to do spare keys? I'll hold yours, you hold mine.” Label them with something meaningless to anyone else, never the address, and keep them out of sight of the door.
