Uh oh! Why won’t my trunk open?

Uh oh! Why won’t my trunk open!

Many of us have been there and have had issues with a trunk of our vehicle not being able to open.

Perhaps you’ve accidentally locked your keys inside, or maybe the actual lock isn’t functioning properly. It could be issues with your key fob, or perhaps there’s simply too much crammed inside and those items are jamming up the opening mechanism.

But what to do? First of all, take a deep breath. Whatever the issue is, it’s fixable. Double check your surroundings and even your bags and pockets. Be sure that if it’s a problem with missing keys that they are actually missing.

If you still have access to the interior of your vehicle, you might have access to the trunk from a seat that folds down. You can get in there and remove anything that might be in the way of the opening mechanism. This may also give you access to an alternative method of opening a broken lock. While it isn’t by any means a permanent solution, at least you can get inside the trunk temporarily.

If it’s your fob, the battery might be out or the programming might have been lost. Regardless of the problem, the actual key should still work in the trunk until the fob itself is repaired.

If the lock is damaged, if you simply don’t have access due to a lack of a key, or if you just aren’t sure what’s going on or what to do, a certified locksmith can not only get you inside, but will also be able to point you in the right direction of what to do next if further repairs are required.

Common Locks for your Home

Opening the door with number combination with woman hand.[/caption]It’s important to feel safe in your home. So while a lock on a door is made for specifically keeping that door securely closed, there are also different types of locks that are designed for either interior or exterior use.

Deadbolt:

This type of lock is one that pretty much everyone has heard of. It’s a metal bolt that goes directly into the doorframe and is one of the most secure varieties on the market. This type is also the one used mainly for exterior doors and is the safest common lock found in and around the home.

Lever handle locks and knob locks:

These locks are more or less the same, but with a physically different shaped handle. The lock itself requires a simple press of a button located in the center of the knob. While these aren’t as secure as a deadbolt, and alone wouldn’t work well for exterior doors, they are great when you just need a little privacy in your own home.

Keyless Entry Pads:

The keyless entry pad is a wonderful way to get in and out of your home without the use of an actual key. This method works great for homes with a large number of people. You only need a code to get in and out. The cons of this are the possibility of battery failure or the code needing to be changed from too many people knowing it.

Smart Locks:

These are the wave of the future. With an app or the assistance of something like Google Home or Amazon Echo, you can lock and unlock your front door even if you aren’t anywhere near it. Cozy in bed and not sure if you locked the front door? Just tell Alexa to do it. Have a ton of groceries to lug in and don’t want to juggle keys while your hands are loaded with bags? Just unlock with the app while in your driveway. Going for a run but don’t want to carry keys? Just tell Siri to take care of it before you pop on that workout playlist.

Are Your Keys Damaging Your Ignition?

If your keys seem to stick in the ignition, you need to give a little extra effort into starting your vehicle each time with a little wiggle, or if you find yourself needing a ‘special’ way of inserting your key, there’s a good chance your ignition has some damage. But how? One of the biggest reasons for ignition damage is simply too much weight on your keys.

From keys for cars, boats, homes, multiple properties, and heavy equipment, to fun accessories like that keychain your five year old gave you for Christmas, our keys can sometimes include a variety of items. While they might not seem like much weight while you carry them around day-to-day, they might be causing unseen damage.

While the weight can cause issues while the car is at a stand still, some of the biggest problems can occur when your car is actually in movement. As the weight of your dangling keys swings and shifts as your drive, the movement can significantly exacerbated the wear on the tumblers inside. This issue can eventually cause ignition failure, since the now worn tumblers are unable to properly engage.

Some experts have said that 9 keys or less won’t cause damage, while others claim that the ignition can withstand a few pounds. Regardless, it’s best to remove some of the weight if the keys simply feel heavy while in the ignition.

So what do you do? There are a few easy steps to make sure that you’re not stressing out your ignition.

Firstly, go though your keychain and take out anything that isn’t needed. You might be surprised what’s been hanging around that’s no longer necessary. Next, add in some removable keychains. These handy contraptions allow you to remove sections of your keychain and easily re-attach as needed. Another suggestion is to simply drive with the ignition key with nothing else. While this might not be the most practical, it also minimizes any damage.

Lehigh Valley Driving Tips for Easter Weekend

Easter may not be the first holiday you think about when it comes to lots of driving. But, it’s still a holiday on which a large number of families travel to or from the Lehigh Valley.

Be sure to drive carefully over the course of Easter weekend even if you’re not traveling to see family, and expect there to be a larger number of cars on the road than usual.

Here are some quick tips you can use to make your Easter driving a bit more safe this year.

Keep Emergency Numbers Handy

Make sure you have our number ((484) 891-1922) handy, or other numbers you may need just in case.

Map Your Route Out

We use GPS apps just like the next person, but you shouldn’t let them take total control. Be sure to take a look at your route before you hit the road. In fact, checking your GPS app before you leave may give you a heads up on traffic or delays along the way.

Give your car a once over

Check your tire pressure. Make sure you have enough windshield wiper fluid. Give your oil a check. These quick checks can save you some potential headaches.

Pack your phone charger

Those emergency numbers won’t do much good if your phone is out of juice. Having a backup phone charger battery pack is almost a must these days.

Keep any valuables in your truck or covered up.

It may not exactly be a Christmas haul, but Easter can also be a time where we have valuables in our cars. Be sure to cover them up if you are parking somewhere.

Be safe and have a happy Easter!

5 Simple Tips to Keep Your Car Safe from Thieves

Sometimes, we go on auto pilot when it comes to our car. We’re used to driving to many of the same places and used to perhaps parking in the same location each and every night. And even though habit and routine can be good things, it’s always a good idea to make sure that you’re always keeping your car as safe from potential thieves as possible. Your vehicle is a big investment!

Here are a few tips you can keep in mind to give you that extra edge against car thieves.

Avoid Leaving Valuables In Your Car

We know, we know. It can be a pain to always have to remove things from your car at the end of the day, but if you’re leaving something in sight that may be of some value, it may catch the eye of someone who’s willing to break into your car to get it.

Park Where There’s Light

Parking where it’s well-lit is always a good idea, no matter where you are. If your home doesn’t have any external lighting, perhaps it’s time to start looking into adding some.

Lock Your Car

Seems pretty simple, right? We can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen people post on social media about reminding people to lock their car doors because they just had something stolen overnight from their own unlocked car.

Shut Your Windows and Sun Roof

Again, a pretty simple fix. But, if a thief can get into your car easily, they are probably going to go for it. If they have trouble getting in, the odds are better that they will move on.

Consider an Anti-Theft Device

Many new cars already come with some sort of alarm or theft deterrent built in, which is great. If your car doesn’t have one, or if you simply want to upgrade what you already have, it can pay off to be overly safe.

As always, we’re here for you if you find yourself in a lock out situation. Call us (484) 891-1922.

Spring Car Care Tips from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith

Spring has sprung in the Lehigh Valley
Spring in the Lehigh Valley means different things to different people. To some, it means getting ready for trips to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. For others, it may mean getting to the Lehigh Valley Zoo or lacing up shoes for runs along some of the beautiful trails in the area.

No matter what it means to you, you won’t have a good spring if you don’t take care of your vehicle. And, thankfully, it’s not that difficult.

Here are a few Spring car care tips!

Change your oil and filter

Just think of it as spring cleaning for your car as well. Everyone knows that it’s a good idea to change their car’s oil at the suggested intervals to keep it running efficiently and keeping gas consumption at a desirable level.

Replace your wiper blades

Your windshield wipers take a beating throughout the winter months so it might be time to get a pair of new ones.

Check your lighting

When’s the last time you turned on your car’s lights, including the four-ways, and walked around your car to see if they all work? Never? Well, it’s time to take a look.

Check your tires

Tires also go through a lot of stress throughout the winter months. If you’re not someone who regularly switches between winter and summer tires, it’s a good idea to do a visual check of them and to check the pressure once the weather gets a bit nicer.

Give your windshield a once over

Winter roads are full of salt and debris and other items that can put a beating on your windshield. Take a look at your windshield for any small cracks that could present a problem down the road. If you do spot a crack, it’s important (and most times less expensive) to fix it early.

If you have any lockout issues, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith 24 hours per day!(484) 891-1922

Our Favorite St. Patrick’s Day Spots in the Lehigh Valley

St. Patrick’s Day is Saturday, March 17, and there aren’t many better places to celebrate than the Lehigh Valley. From authentic Irish bars and restaurants, to the best parades around, here is a quick look at our favorite places to be in 2018.

Jack Callaghan’s Ale House in Allentown

There probably isn’t a better bar to spend your St. Patrick’s Day Saturday in Allentown than Callaghan’s! After the Sunday, March 18 Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Callaghan’s will have $3 16-ounce bottles of Miller Lite, Budweiser and Bud Light and $4 Guinness. A specialty menu will feature Irish staples like corned beef and cabbage.

Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub in Bethlehem

Molly’s may be the epicenter of all Irish happenings in the Lehigh Valley this weekend. It’s a post Bethlehem Parade (we’ll get to that in a minute) spot and will have Irish dancers and bagpipers on Saturday as well!

Porters’ Pub in Easton

Porters’ Pub is opening up at 9 a.m. on Saturday for the first time since it was established in the early 1990s! Look for possibly the most authentic Irish menu in the Lehigh Valley.

South Bethlehem St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 17

Bethlehem’s normal St. Patrick’s Day Parade was unfortunately cancelled, but there will be a brand new one starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday!

The Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade

There aren’t many St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country that can hold a candle to Allentown’s classic. If you want to see how it’s truly done, be there!

Gadgets to Help You Not Lose Your Keys

How many times have you been in a hurry to drive somewhere or really needed to get in the house, but oops, can’t find your keys? Our guess is dozens of times. Recently there have been many products coming out to solve this issue every person faces on a daily basis. Some of the best have come from sites like Kickstarter or indiegogo and are becoming wildly popular.

Tile Mate

Easily the most recognizable of the group is tile. This company creates a variety of trackers that can be attached to key chains, backpacks or purses. Once you get the product all you need to is set up the app created by tile and you’re all set to find your keys, phone, wallet!

TrackR bravo

Another popular company is TrackR. They also sells a small tracking device that you can attached to any keychain or throw in a purse or wallet. The TrackR products do have the interesting feature of doubling as a phone finder, press on your TrackR device and your phone will start ringing. In that regard the more you have the better, you’ll never lose your phone or keys again.

Key Ringer

Now this one may not be the most innovative or new product but you better bet it gets the job done. The KeyRinger XL by Key Ringer is one of the loudest lost key finders on the market. As long as you have one of the two in a set you can press the button and the other will start ringing, very loudly. However if the volume is an issue it is reprogrammable to be softer, or louder if you’d really like.
