What to do if your car locks are frozen in the Lehigh Valley

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.

Try auto starting your car:

By giving your car a chance to warm up from the inside, your locks may be able to warm up, therefore melting the blockage.

Heat up your key:

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.

Try a lock de-icer:

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.

What’s The Largest Padlock Ever?

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!

Ways to Avoid Locksmith Scams in the Lehigh Valley

We understand that not many people have a locksmith on speed dial. Is speed dial even a thing anymore?

Anyway, we know that people usually turn to a locksmith in a time of need and, sometimes, desperation. In those moments, it’s easier for a company to potentially take advantage of a consumer. Before you call a locksmith, here are a few tips.

  1. Check their reviews: It’s easier than ever to check a company’s reviews to see what the community feels about them. Give your locksmith a quick Google search before you give them a call!
  2. Get a cost estimate: Know what you’re dealing with before the locksmith arrives.
  3. Watch out for price fluctuations: If the locksmith gets to you and the price is suddenly different than it was quoted on the phone, it’s time to call a different locksmith. Don’t let them do the work.
  4. Don’t let them drill the lock right away: If a locksmith insists on drilling your home lock right away, be wary. Experienced locksmiths will go through multiple attempts before drilling a lock.

Those are a just a few tips. Go with your gut and call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you are in a bind!

24/7 Emergency Locksmith Charity Spotlight

We wanted to take a minute to highlight a charity that we feel strongly about and have donated in support of.

If you’re so inclined, please take a moment to look at Zing’s account in Extra Life. He plays in support of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

From his profile: “I’ve pledged to play games and raise funds for kids at my local children’s hospital!

During high school I had some health issues that just made day to day life difficult. Whereas, it wasn’t anything serious or life threatening, it took a lot out of me to deal with growing up AND dealing with not feeling well.

I happily do this every year to help other kids, many of whom are dealing with far worse than I had to bear, have a better life! Please help out if you are able because no child should have to deal with anything other than growing up!”

Here’s how it works

  • Extra Life is a gaming and DIY fundraising platform supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

  • I’m joining thousands of gamers, dedicating a day to play games and raise funds from friends like you.

  • 100% of the donations go to my local children’s hospital.

Give his profile a visit today!

Lehigh Valley Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips

From Emmaus to Easton, Halloween is coming to the Lehigh Valley and trick-or-treaters will be out and about throughout the towns. Here are a few tips to stay safe!

Since this time of year also coincides with earlier sunsets, it’s important to take a minute and remember to be cautious while driving this time of year.

Be sure to get some reflective tape for your child’s trick-or-treat bag or costume. It’s an easy way to be seen and won’t take away from the aesthetic.

Traveling in groups is smart. There’s safety in numbers, but remember to bring an adult.

When driving, be sure to come to a full and complete stop at all stop signs. I think it’s safe to say we’ve all rolled through a stop sign in our day. When kids see a stop sign, they expect cars to stop.

Be sure to balance some of that candy with some healthy snacks as well!

Be safe out there, Lehigh Valley

Don’t Be Scared of Being Locked Out on Halloween in the Lehigh Valley!

Halloween is almost here and that means there are about 100 different Trick-or-Treat times in the Lehigh Valley. From Hellertown to Allentown to Freemansburg and Easton, the Halloween season will be full of little ghouls and ghosts visiting homes in all of our neighborhoods.

We wanted to share some quick Halloween driving tips before all of the candy treasure hunts begin!

1. Use your headlights.
Fall in the Lehigh Valley means that sunset comes way sooner than a month ago. Put those lights on.

2. Don’t drive distracted.
Listen. We all have our phones in our cars. It’s time to learn how to use them responsibly. Don’t handle your phone while driving.

3. Turn the radio down.
A lot of people make fun of “turning the radio down to find an address” but it actually has a root in science. Our brains handle all of the stimuli it receives. So, if we turn down the radio, it allows us to focus!

4. Drive slower than the posted speed limit.
In residential areas especially. There is no reason to drive fast.

5. Don’t pass other cars stopped in the street.
If we see a car in the street, we’re inclined to drive around it. This time of year, it’s smart to take that maneuver a little bit slower.

6. Communicate with other drivers.
Put your road rage away for a month. Just do it.

7. Designate a sober driver or arrange a taxi if you’re celebrating with alcohol.
Or call an Uber or Lyft.

8. If you see a drunk or unsafe driver on the road, alert law enforcement.
Call the police. Don’t try to follow them.

9. Call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you get locked out

If you find yourself in a lock-out situation call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith at (484) 891-1922 for 24/7 lockout service within the Lehigh Valley.
