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.

The Importance of Spare Keys
Park and rides are a service that are extremely useful when you need them. Meeting someone in one location to carpool to your destination is a time saver and more eco-friendly than taking your own car. Whether you use park and rides a lot or rarely, surely you have appreciated the service it provides.
Generally, you are not worried about your car sitting in the park and ride for a few days, and many of them are patrolled. But one thing you may not realize, or even consider, is whether or not you are parking in a lot that allows overnight parking. Suddenly your days on vacation become a panic and you are unsure if you will return to find ticket on your windshield or your car towed away.
When this happens, one of the best options is to call a friend or family member to get your spare key and remove your car from the park and ride. Problem solved, right? Well that depends, if you know where your spare key is and they have easy access to it, then yes, the problem is solved. But maybe you are unsure. Perhaps you moved your spare key into a safe spot in case you ever need it but now, you can’t remember where that is.
Or maybe you don’t even have a spare. In this case there is no hope for you and your car will remain in the forbidden spot until you return. Maybe you will be lucky and have no tickets sticking out of your windshield wipers. Maybe your car will sit there perfectly fine and left untouched and unnoticed.
If you are one of the lucky ones, then you will return from your trip and find nothing but your car, ready to take you home. But this is not always the case. And spare keys are not always in the safe space that you remember. Ensuring that you have a spare in a known location can save you from stressing about what may happen throughout your entire vacation.
At 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, we can help you prepare for these unplanned issues, making you a spare or two that you can keep in a well known place. Be ready for any moment, know where your spare is, and make sure you have a spare. We can help. Contact us today!

A Time Before Car Keys
As you leave the store that you stopped at to pick up a few things after a long day at work, you get to you car only to realize you have locked your car keys inside. They are sitting right there, in the driver’s seat, mocking you with the unlock button glowing in the setting sun. This can truly ruin your day and can be a hassle to deal with, but 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is here to help.
We know the struggle of locking our car keys inside the car and when this happens, you want to get this fixed fast. If you find yourself in this situation, call us. We can be there faster than you would expect and help you get into your car and on your way home in no time.
While you wait for us to show up, take a moment to think about what life was like before the car key was invented. You may think that w
ithout car keys there were probably no cars and everyone continued to get around using horse and buggy. But this is not the case.
When cars first came into existence, the car key was not even thought about. You didn’t need keys to unlock you car, because you couldn’t even lock your car. Most cars were topless and honestly, quite easy to steal.
If there were no car keys, how did someone start the car? There was a starter lever, a long bar that has a head and socket system that fit to your engine. They would have to crank this a few times to get the car started. The process required strength and patience and had to be done physically, every single time.
This means running to the store quickly wouldn’t be easy, a drive could not just get in and go. And as engines progressed, this cranking task got more difficult and physically demanding. This also made it easier for someone to simply take your car. According to expressautokeys.co.uk, Henry Ford used to chain his car to a lamppost with a padlock every time he parked so that it could not get stolen. The same as you would do with a bike!
So as you sit here, waiting for 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to come and help you get back into your car, just be thankful that you can simple start your car with the turn of a key and that you don’t have to chain it to a lamppost to ensure no one steals it. Contact us today to get help getting back into your car!

Car Key Mistakes
Your boyfriend volunteered for the both of you to help his friend move over the weekend. You arrive at their house and go through your car exit routine—roll up the windows, turn off the car, throw your keys in your purse, and lock the doors from the inside as you get out, since your car key fob has a dead battery.
Before slamming your door shut, you realize you don’t need to tote your purse around while moving and decide to leave it in the car. You forcefully slam the door shut and just as it hits the frame of your car, you realize your mistake. You left your keys in the purse, which is now locked in your car.
With the help of 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, you can get those keys out in no time. But you don’t call for assistance. You ignore the problem, help pack and move your friend’s stuff, loading everything into the truck they rented, and attempting to get everything done quickly.
You remember you have a spare key at home but that is across town and would require you hitching a ride from your friend, taking up more time in your day and prolonging the moving process. Your boyfriend says he knows how to break into cars, not because he is a crook, but because he has a habit of locking his keys in the car as well, match made in heaven.
After packing everything up, it is time to drive to the new house and unpack it all. And now you actually need your car. You think about calling 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, but your boyfriend is determined to get your car unlocked without assistance.
So you go about the usual keys locked in car routine. Check to make sure all the doors are actually locked at least three times, check to see if the keys magically appeared on the outside of the car twice, peer into the car window as if hoping a troll will pop up from under your seat and unlock the door for you, and finish by jiggling the handle one last time.
Your boyfriend uses the claw part of a hammer to pry the door further from the frame, and you take a wire hanger, like you’ve seen in the movies, and twist it so it perfectly fits around the lock, and you pull. You actually do it, you unlocked your car without damages, without assistance, and now your feel like you can make it on the streets.
It doesn’t always turn out like this, you could have broken your window, or ruined your door in the process. Which is why you should always call for assistance. 24/7 Emergency Locksmith will always be able to help you, every hour of the day, every day of the week. Next time you make the mistake of locking your keys in the car, don’t make another, call us and we will be there to help in no time.
