What is a Smart Key or Proximity Key?
Smart key and proximity key are two terms to describe the same thing.
Smart keys are keys that may remain inside your pocket at all times. You approach the vehicle and the doors will unlock by just touching the handle, and when you enter the vehicle you don’t need to pull out your key, you just press a button or turn the ignition and the car starts. Cars equipped with this kind of new key technology are very convenient.
A convenience you will pay for if you ever lose your car key.
Smart keys tend to be fairly expensive, usually more so than their less sophisticated remote head counterparts. 24/7 Emergency Locksmith has special tools that allow us to program these special smart keys to your car’s computer so they will start the car and the buttons will perform their designed functions.
While losing your smart key may seem like a huge loss, rest assured knowing that our locksmith experts can replace your smart key and get you on the road again!

You’ve got your coat on, grab your phone, and go to grab you… keys… hold on. Wait. Where are they?! Dang it! You put your keys down somewhere when you got home from work last night and now they could be anywhere. After ripping the house apart, you finally track them down and roll into work twenty minutes late.
Ugh!
This is not a great way to start your day. Here are a few tips to minimize losing your keys.
Whether you grab the mail, let the dog out, or put your coat in the closet, try to also keep the same routine with your keys. Put them in a designated spot where you routinely place them every single time they’re not in use.
A decorative dish in the entrance way, a hook to the door heading out to the garage, or a number of other convenient spots can be found to place your keys. Get in the habit of putting them there every single time you come home.
If you find yourself with your hands full with groceries or coming back from a trip, you might also be carrying your keys in the same armload. Then when you put the items down, your keys can get lost in the shuffle. Rather than carrying them with everything else, a lanyard to put around your neck or a carabiner clip to hook on your purse or belt loop means that your keys are on your person, even when you place that arm full of stuff down. Then just take the keys and pop them in their designated spot.
If you try and try to stick with the above mentioned and it just isn’t doing it for you, there are a number of locating options that, with the assistance of an app, can be added to your keys. This keychain can be activated with your phone and then will emit a small beep, chirp, etc. and you’ll be able to hear your keys calling for you as they’re buried in the middle of the couch.
…and if you really can’t find your keys, we’re here to help! Call us 24/7 and we’ll help you get back on track if you need some new ones. (

When it comes to your security, some minor concerns with you locks and keys (or things that might not even seem to be concerns) can happen to anyone.
Here are ten things that could be happening with your home, office, or vehicle locks that you should be on the lookout for.
These, and a variety of other issues can happen. So be mindful if you locks are acting, well, not to their full potential. Basically if you can’t just open your lock nearly effortlessly, something might be on the fritz.
So while these particular “issues” might not seem like anything, or if you just don’t feel like it’s necessary to look into further, most should be addressed ASAP.
You just never know when that minor inconvenience does a 180 and turns into an actual, and sometimes expensive, problem.
Call us with any and all of your lock needs and concerns, we’re here to help!

It’s happened. It’s incredibly cold out, you go to unlock your car, and the locks won’t budge. You try the fob again and you can hear the attempt of the mechanism in your doors trying to work. Maybe the key itself? Nope! Ugh you’re locked out of your car from the cold temperatures and you just don’t know what to do.
Here are a few suggestions to get you back in your car and on the road.
By giving your car a chance to warm up from the inside, your locks may be able to warm up, therefore melting the blockage.
Do this one VERY carefully! Use a lighter or blow dryer to heat up the end of your key. Then insert it into the lock and the heat can assist in warming the mechanism inside.
This small aerosol can fits in a purse or backpack. The tip is inserted into the lock and the chemicals inside melt the troublesome ice.
So prepare yourself for the winter with the mindset that you might get frozen-locked out of your vehicle and keep these tips in mind, just in case you need them.
If you’re still having problems, call us!! 484-891-1922

Just because we’re pretty sure you were wondering. We wanted to share the largest padlock ever in the history of the world with you!
The largest padlock was created by students and teachers of Pavlovo Arts College No. 23, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia and measures 144.3 cm tall, 105 cm wide and 26 cm deep (56.8 in × 41.3 in × 10.2 in).
The giant security lock weighs 415.5 kg (916 lb) including the key.
There was a crest on top of the padlock but was not included in the overall heigh as it was not an integral part of the padlock.
While we are pretty sure we’ll never be able to see it in person, we still know we could get it open for them no problem. That is, of course, if they lost the key to the world’s largest padlock, which would seem to be a difficult thing to do!

If you ever lock yourself out, don’t worry, someone else has been there before.
Take a look at some of these funny tweets we found where people locked themselves out and, well, at least they tried to have a laugh about it.
