Halloween Driving Tips

While many Lehigh Valley communities have already held their Trick-or-Treat nights, Halloween, the actual Halloween on October 31, is still a popular night for kids and teens to be out and about. These tips can keep you safe when driving on Halloween!

Be careful between 4 to 8 p.m. when most severe accidents and collisions happen.

Drive slowly and don’t pass stopped vehicles, they may be dropping off children.

There’s no reason to ever text and drive, but on a night where there are potentially many children out and about, it’s even more important to leave your cell phone at arm’s length.

Look out for children running into the street. They may be excited and not thinking of their own safety tips. Be vigilant.

Make sure you’re using your signals, especially if it’s you who is dropping off kids. Turning on your hazard lights lets other drivers know you’re not just sitting there.

And, if you’re out and about with children on Halloween, it’s a great time to start teaching them about road safety and show them how to properly cross the street.

Be safe out there and, if you need us, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith at (484) 891-1922.

What to do if Your Car Breaks Down on the Side of the Road

No one looks forward to their car breaking down on the side of the road or highway, but knowing what to do in that situation can be the difference between safety and disaster.

Here are a few quick tips to make sure that you’re safe while you’re waiting for a tow truck.

1. Get off the road
The first thing you want to do is make sure you get your car all the way off the side of the road. This can mean understanding that your car is about to break down if it is acting funny and taking the momentum of your car to get off to the side of the road. This is especially important at night.

2. Let Other Motorists Know You’re There
There are many car hazard kids that come with bright orange triangles or even road flares that you can put leading up to your car to keep everyone on the road safe. Invest in one of those.

3. Call for Help
In the age of cellphones, most people are able to contact help pretty quickly, if not immediately. Take note of the mile marker that you’re on or major landmarks. You can also use some map apps on your smartphone to send your exact location!

4. Stick with your Vehicle
Leaving your vehicle isn’t always the best decision. It can be towed without warning and walking on the side of a highway or road isn’t exactly the safest thing to do. Stick around with your vehicle, it hopefully won’t be too long until your help arrives.

If you’re stuck due to a lock situation, be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for help. Call (484) 891-1922.

5 Tips for Improving Your Memory

Photo courtesy of PsychologyToday.com

Everyone forgets their keys from time to time and there is almost no way to get through adulthood without locking your keys in your car once or twice. It’s just the way of the world. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few ways to keep your memory fresh.

Take a look at a few ways to make sure your memory is in tip top shape.

1. Get in a routine: If you go about putting your keys or wallet in the same place every time you get home from work, or make sure your keys go in your purse as soon as you take them out of the ignition in your car, you’re more likely to remember to do it more often. Repetition makes for good habits.

2. Focus: It sounds simple, but if you can direct your attention to something for at least ten seconds, you are more likely to remember it. It’s when we almost get into too much of a routine that we can forget things.

3. Exercise: Not only will your waistline thank you, but your brain will be much more likely to remember with regular exercise.

4. Get a good night’s sleep: We all know that groggy feeling after not sleeping enough. A lack of sleep also contributes to a bad memory. Get those eight hours in!

5. Play brain games: Your smartphone isn’t just for surfing Facebook. There are numerous apps designed to stimulate brain activity that can help you remember where you put your keys last night.

If any of these fail, don’t forget to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith when you do lock your keys in your car. We’ll remember to come to you in a jiffy!

Five Fantastic Fall Drives in the Lehigh Valley

The Lehigh Valley is home to some really incredible views. If you’re interested in hopping in your car and just heading out to drive, there isn’t a shortage of beautiful places to head to. Here are some of our favorites.

Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie is home to some of the best autumn views not only in the Lehigh Valley, but probably all of the northeast. It’s a favorite spot for winter sports, but it might be at it’s best during the fall months.

Hawk Mountain is one of those locations you truly need to see with your own eyes to believe. It’s worth a long Saturday to head there for the views during the fall.

The Lehigh Lookout is at the top of South Mountain in Bethlehem and overlooks most of the city. In fact, you might be able to see all of it if you squint hard enough.

Let the tractor do the driving when you visit Unangst Farm in Bath. Their pumpkin patch is one of the nicest you’ll find anywhere!

Anywhere along the Delaware River up or down Route 611 is bound to be one of the best drives you have all autumn long. Head out there and enjoy yourself.

Wherever your path takes you this fall, know that you can call on 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your locksmith needs!

Get Your Car Ready for Fall

Fall finally feels like it’s coming to the Lehigh Valley and that means it’s a good time to do a little bit of car maintenance before the really cold weather hits.

Here are a few tips from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to keep your car in tip top shape through the autumn months. A lot of these may seem like common sense, but a reminder never hurts.

Check your lights
You’ll be using your headlights a lot more during the fall, which is all the more reason to make sure they are working. Don’t stop there, though. Check all of your vehicle’s lights since they are all the more important with shorter days on the horizon.

Replace your wiper blades
Rain, leaves, snow, check. Your wiper blades are going to be getting more work during the fall, be sure to replace blades that show a little wear on them.

Check all of your fluids
Yep, check ’em all. There’s never a bad time to make sure your oil and windshield wiper fluid levels are topped off, but fall is a good place to start. Break out the dipstick and make sure you’re filled up.

Check your batterybr>
Is there a worse feeling than your car not starting because your battery died? It’s not a bad idea to have a technician check your battery to make sure that it’s still up to snuff for the coming winter, especially if it’s a few years old.

Get a wash or detail
Did we just tell you to go get your car detailed? Yep. But, even if you don’t want to spend the money on a full detail, even a good wash is a nice way to spot potential problems in your vehicle.

Fall in the Lehigh Valley is always a beautiful time. Make sure that you keep it fun by having your car at its best. And, of course, call us at 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your locksmith needs.

Five Fall Driving Tips

Summer in the Lehigh Valley doesn’t seem like it wants to cool down, but fall is officially here and that does change things a bit when it comes to your driving habits.

We may not often take the time to think about it, but the changing of seasons should also coincide with with a change in how we approach the road. Let’s take a look at five tips that can help you as fall arrives.

1. Be Wary of the Dark

According to the National Safety Council, while just 25 percent of our driving is at night, 50 percent of traffic deaths occur then. It also gets darker earlier during the fall.

2. Watch Out For Kids

This almost goes without saying, but kids will be walking home from school or the bus during the fall. That’s a big change from the summer, so be prepared to look out for them in crosswalks or pretty much anywhere else.

3. Watch Out For Deer

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers are 3.5 times more likely to hit an animal, especially a deer, during November than any other month of the year. Stay alert.

4. Roads Get Slippery

Water doesn’t evaporate as quickly during the fall. Couple that with fallen leaves and roads, especially bridges, get much more slippery than usual. Be careful when breaking.

5. Take Your Car in for Service

The fall is a great time to get your tires rotated, or just looked at in general. You will rely on them much more in the fall and winter months than in the spring and summer.

Be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for any of your lockout, keys, or locksmith needs!

Four Tips for Taking Care of Your Keys

Our car and house keys are one of the most important things that we carry with us each day, but we may not give them the proper respect that they deserve.

Here are a few tips on how to properly take care of your keys and get the most out of them over the long haul.

1. Security

Car keys are one of the first things that a burglar will target in someone’s house. Do you have a safe place to store them that isn’t inside a basket or on a hook in the front door? It’s a good idea to keep them in the same place each and every night. Not only will it make it harder for you to forget them, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that they are safe.

2. Got a Spare?

Having a spare key is a great idea, and one that some people tend not to undertake. Have a spare key hidden somewhere on your property that isn’t under a flowerpot in your front yard. Also, it’s smart to give a spare key to a relative or loved one if you are locked out or if an emergency arises.

3. Take a Look

Keys may seem sturdy, and most are, but they can easily bend or break like anything that’s used on a daily basis. If you notice a bit of a bend on your keys or they aren’t turning like they used to, it’s time to give us a call.

4. Did We Mention Security?

Treat your keys like you do your wallet. Make sure that they aren’t visible when you go out and make sure that you keep them in a safe and secure place on your person. If you do know that your keys have been stolen or lost, we’re here for you. Contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith.
