Signs You Need To Replace Your Locks

Just like everything else in your home, your locks will get old and break down eventually. And just like everything else, you will want to fix it before that happens. Getting locked out of your home is a nightmare. Getting locked out of your home in the middle of winter is even worse. Making sure this doesn’t happen—start by checking out your locks and door knobs and making sure they are aging well.

But how are you supposed to know when your locks and knobs are going to stop working? In this blog we will give you some clues to look out for! In case you ever do get locked out of your home, or have any other issues with your home’s locks and door knobs, you can trust 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to help! We can take care of any and all of your locksmith needs! Even if you are locked out of your home, it will only be for a short amount of time. Our team will get to you quickly and make sure you are inside in no time!

Read on to learn more about the signs your locks and door knobs may be slowly dying.

Rust

While many old metal items will become rusty with constant exposure to water, your locks shouldn’t be one of them. If you notice rust building up around and on your locks and door knobs, it may be time to change them out for new ones. Rust on the door knob or lock may be a sign that there is also rust building up in the lock itself, making it difficult to unlock and lock your door. Rust is one sign that you need a replacement.

Keys Get Stuck

Keys give us issues sometimes, and that is understandable, but when you have to wiggle and jiggle your keys in the lock to get the door unlocked, you know you have an actual problem. This could result in your key breaking off in the lock or the lock no longer working.

Stick Door Knob

Even if the key turns in the lock with ease, the door knob may be sticky. If you turn the knob and it feels like it is sticking, it is time to replace your locks and door knobs. Again, you never know when this will fail and being locked out of your home is never fun.

These are a few of the signs to pay attention to. If you notice any of these things, you should get your locks and door knobs replaced. Get a professional’s opinion by contacting 24/7 Emergency Locksmith.

Tips for Driving Safely During the Holidays

The holiday season is one of the most exciting of the year, but it’s also one of the most dangerous to drive during. With more people on the road than most other times of the year, the chance for accidents and hazards is high. Here are a few tips that can help you when you’re on your way to grandma’s house for Christmas dinner!

1. Get a good night’s sleep: It may seem like a simple thing to do, but getting a good night’s rest is important when it comes to being alert while you’re driving. Getting a good night’s sleep can also be difficult during a time of the year when you may be expected to do a lot. Take a break!

2. Plan your route in advance and be ready for detours: You may be driving to the same house you’ve been driving to for decades or dinner may be at a new place this year. Either way, it makes sense to go over your route one more time before you go and be ready to have to take a detour of something happens along the way.

3. Follow speed limits and keep your cool: Road rage is a very serious thing, don’t be a part of it and don’t be affected by it. Don’t tailgate and follow the speed limit. Everyone is going to have a shorter fuse than normal when there are that many cars on the road.

4. Secure your home when you leave: Make sure that you lock up your home when you leave and set your alarm if you have one.

5. Try to relax a little: Sounds easier said than done, right? Well, you’re right. But, try to relax a little bit if you can and enjoy the holidays with your family.

And, remember, if you are in need of a locksmith, no matter when it is, call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith. We’ll be there to help you: (484) 891-1922

What To Do When You Break Down on a Highway

We’ve all been there and if you haven’t, the odds are pretty good it’ll happen to you in the future. We’re talking about breaking down on the side of a highway, or really any road for that matter. While it’s frustrating and can really throw a wrench into your day, don’t fear! The best thing to do is to keep calm and realize you may be there for a little while. Here are some tips to help you out the next time it happens to you.

First thing’s first, if you know that your breakdown is beyond something that you can handle yourself (a flat tire for instance, be sure to call for help right away.

Don’t flag down other vehicles for assistance. While it may seem like a good thing to do, you want to be able to rely on professionals to help you.

Don’t stand behind or next to your vehicle. It’s a worse case scenario, but if another vehicle hits yours, it could be disastrous if you’re standing nearby.

Use flares, if you have them, or road signs, again if you have them. If you’re fresh out of those items, be sure to stock up before your next trip. In a pinch, a white shirt will do and it notifies police officers or tow truck drivers that help is needed.

Be patient! Depending on where you broke down, it could take some time for help to get to you. The best thing for you to do is stay calm until it arrives.

If you’re stranded because you locked your keys in your car, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton areas of the Lehigh Valley: (484) 891-1922.

Tips To Get Your Car Unstuck From the Snow from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith

No matter how much salt you put down or how early you get out to shovel, some days you’re just going to get your car stuck in the snow.

Having a few ideas of how to get your car unstuck from the snow can go a long way to getting you back on your way much faster.

DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES: This is the first mistake many people make and one done sometimes out of the sheer frustration of being stuck. If your tires aren’t in contact with the road at all, spinning your wheels is just going to get you more stuck.

GET LOW AND ROCK OUT: After you’ve done at least some bit of shoveling, get in the car and get into your lowest gear. Attempt to start “rocking” the car by driving ahead a little bit and then heading in reverse. The forward or backward momentum may be enough to push you over the hump and back on the road.

TURN THE WHEELS: If rocking doesn’t work at first, turn your wheels from side to side a few times and try again.

STILL STUCK?: If you’re still stuck, more shoveling may be needed and perhaps the strength of a friend or two to turn that forward or backward momentum via a push over the hump.

STAY PATIENT: The most important thing is to realize that you’re most likely not the only one stuck and it usually takes some time to get out in the first place.

If you’re stuck because you’re experiencing a lockout, CALL US at (484) 891-1922 for 24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE!

How to Find Your Car in a Busy Parking Lot

Whether you’re shopping on Black Friday or leaving the stadium after a football game, we’ve all had that sinking feeling of not remembering where we parked our car.

Here are a few ways to remember where you parked your car in a crowded parking lot. Before you say “Hey 24/7 Emergency Locksmith people, these are all pretty obvious suggestions” remember that you, too, have been lost in a parking lot.

1. Hit the Panic Button
If you know that your car is probably nearby, hitting the panic button is a surefire way to find it. This isn’t the best method if you’re in a loud environment or your car is out of range, of course.

2. Park Near a Landmark
If you have the choice to park your car near something recognizable from a distance like a sign or a specific corner of a lot. Of course, this only works if there are certain signs or items in the parking lot to park next to.

3. Take a picture / Use Your Map
Technology is a wonderful thing. Many driving and map mobile apps for your smartphone give you the ability to place a pin where you parked. Once you’re heading back to your car, all you have to do is follow the map. Taking a picture can also help you jog your memory when it’s time to head home.

Four Ways to De-Ice a Car Lock

If your car lock is frozen, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is always available to come help you out by calling (484) 891-1922.

And while we recommend calling us if your car lock is frozen, as we’ll be able to fix it safely and without damage, here are a few interesting ways you can de-ice a lock in a pinch.

1. Petroleum Jelly
It’s a bit messy, but if you dip your key in petroleum jelly and put it into the lock, move it around and wait a bit, it can melt the ice inside the lock.

2. Hand sanitizer
That little bottle of hand sanitizer you have hanging on your key chain that you never use? Well, it has rubbing alcohol inside of it, which can lower the freezing point of water and melt the ice inside a car lock. Drip some onto your key and go to town. At least your lock will be super clean.

3. Hot Water
While we don’t always carry around hot water, well, ever, many people do have hot coffee in the morning. You can try putting your key into the hot coffee for a bit, drying it off, and then putting it into the lock. You’ll probably want to throw the rest of the coffee away.

4. Lighter
Probably a last resort, but as long as you didn’t put any flammable substances in your lock and it doesn’t have any plastic parts, you could try a lighter on it. We definitely don’t recommend this one.

Again, the best idea here is for you to give 24/7 Emergency Locksmith a call if you’re in the Lehigh Valley and have a iced up lock. We’ll be there quickly, no matter if you’re in the Allentown, Bethlehem, or Easton areas.

How the Cold Can Affect Your Car Locks and When to Call a Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley


Photo courtesy of Leith Nissan

Unfortunately, we tend to only think about our locks when they aren’t working. During day-to-day life, we use locks dozens of times per day, but it’s only when they malfunction that we really truly think about them. That is even more clear when it becomes cold outside in the Lehigh Valley.

Here’s what is happening to your car lock in the cold

The cold makes locks, doors, windows, and keys contract. Locks can get jammed due to frozen mechanisms. The most common lock problems during the cold months found by car owners are frozen doors, door locks, and even power windows. You can always try to spray on some de-icer onto or into the lock or even slightly heat up metal keys to get rid of snow inside the lock.

If you can, park your car inside a garage to avoid snow or low temperatures. Of course, that’s not always an option for most people.

If you find yourself in a spot where your car doors are locked or frozen completely shut, it may be in your best interest to contact 24/7 Emergency locksmith. While you may be able to get yourself out of a sticky situation, you can also do damage to your lock, which is going to be even more inconvenient than having a frozen one.

Don’t worry, we’ll get to you in the Lehigh Valley within 20 min. Call us at (484) 891-1922.
