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

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.

8 Items To Keep In Your Car in Case You Break Down

Photo courtesy of MVSOttawa

Of course, getting locked out of your car isn’t the only worry you have when you’re out on the road and away from home. Breaking down, especially in inclement weather, can sometimes turn into a life or death situation.

Here are some times to make sure you keep in your car in case you find yourself in a sticky situation.

1. First Aid Kit:

This should probably be one of the first things you pack in your glove box or trunk. Having a first aid kit is important, as is making sure that the items inside are not expired.

2. Flashlight: You know what? Keep an extra flashlight everywhere you go, include your office and basement.

3. Water Bottles: Who says bottled water is silly? Having water on hand in an emergency is invaluable and inexpensive. Grab an extra case and pack it away.

4. Snacks: No, we’re not talking Cheetohs, but I guess you could pack them in there if you wanted to. Pack away protein bars, nuts, seeds, cereals, dried fruit and even some jerky. These foods last a long time and can help you out in an emergency.

5. Spare Tire: And know how to change it. If you’re unsure, ask someone to help you learn how or simply use YouTube.

6. Jumper Cables: It seems like less and less people carry these with them nowadays. Change that trend.

7. Gloves and Warm Clothing: Even pack a few blankets for extra measure.

8. Flares: Breaking down at night on the side of a highway can be a dangerous situation made less so with the use of roadside flares.

And, as always, if you find yourself in a lockout situation, be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley. We’ll be there to help! (484) 891-1922.

Halloween Driving Tips

While many Lehigh Valley communities have already held their Trick-or-Treat nights, Halloween, the actual Halloween on October 31, is still a popular night for kids and teens to be out and about. These tips can keep you safe when driving on Halloween!

Be careful between 4 to 8 p.m. when most severe accidents and collisions happen.

Drive slowly and don’t pass stopped vehicles, they may be dropping off children.

There’s no reason to ever text and drive, but on a night where there are potentially many children out and about, it’s even more important to leave your cell phone at arm’s length.

Look out for children running into the street. They may be excited and not thinking of their own safety tips. Be vigilant.

Make sure you’re using your signals, especially if it’s you who is dropping off kids. Turning on your hazard lights lets other drivers know you’re not just sitting there.

And, if you’re out and about with children on Halloween, it’s a great time to start teaching them about road safety and show them how to properly cross the street.

Be safe out there and, if you need us, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith at (484) 891-1922.

What to do if Your Car Breaks Down on the Side of the Road

No one looks forward to their car breaking down on the side of the road or highway, but knowing what to do in that situation can be the difference between safety and disaster.

Here are a few quick tips to make sure that you’re safe while you’re waiting for a tow truck.

1. Get off the road
The first thing you want to do is make sure you get your car all the way off the side of the road. This can mean understanding that your car is about to break down if it is acting funny and taking the momentum of your car to get off to the side of the road. This is especially important at night.

2. Let Other Motorists Know You’re There
There are many car hazard kids that come with bright orange triangles or even road flares that you can put leading up to your car to keep everyone on the road safe. Invest in one of those.

3. Call for Help
In the age of cellphones, most people are able to contact help pretty quickly, if not immediately. Take note of the mile marker that you’re on or major landmarks. You can also use some map apps on your smartphone to send your exact location!

4. Stick with your Vehicle
Leaving your vehicle isn’t always the best decision. It can be towed without warning and walking on the side of a highway or road isn’t exactly the safest thing to do. Stick around with your vehicle, it hopefully won’t be too long until your help arrives.

If you’re stuck due to a lock situation, be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for help. Call (484) 891-1922.

5 Tips for Improving Your Memory

Photo courtesy of PsychologyToday.com

Everyone forgets their keys from time to time and there is almost no way to get through adulthood without locking your keys in your car once or twice. It’s just the way of the world. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few ways to keep your memory fresh.

Take a look at a few ways to make sure your memory is in tip top shape.

1. Get in a routine: If you go about putting your keys or wallet in the same place every time you get home from work, or make sure your keys go in your purse as soon as you take them out of the ignition in your car, you’re more likely to remember to do it more often. Repetition makes for good habits.

2. Focus: It sounds simple, but if you can direct your attention to something for at least ten seconds, you are more likely to remember it. It’s when we almost get into too much of a routine that we can forget things.

3. Exercise: Not only will your waistline thank you, but your brain will be much more likely to remember with regular exercise.

4. Get a good night’s sleep: We all know that groggy feeling after not sleeping enough. A lack of sleep also contributes to a bad memory. Get those eight hours in!

5. Play brain games: Your smartphone isn’t just for surfing Facebook. There are numerous apps designed to stimulate brain activity that can help you remember where you put your keys last night.

If any of these fail, don’t forget to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith when you do lock your keys in your car. We’ll remember to come to you in a jiffy!

Five Fantastic Fall Drives in the Lehigh Valley

The Lehigh Valley is home to some really incredible views. If you’re interested in hopping in your car and just heading out to drive, there isn’t a shortage of beautiful places to head to. Here are some of our favorites.


Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie is home to some of the best autumn views not only in the Lehigh Valley, but probably all of the northeast. It’s a favorite spot for winter sports, but it might be at it’s best during the fall months.


Hawk Mountain is one of those locations you truly need to see with your own eyes to believe. It’s worth a long Saturday to head there for the views during the fall.


The Lehigh Lookout is at the top of South Mountain in Bethlehem and overlooks most of the city. In fact, you might be able to see all of it if you squint hard enough.


Let the tractor do the driving when you visit Unangst Farm in Bath. Their pumpkin patch is one of the nicest you’ll find anywhere!


Anywhere along the Delaware River up or down Route 611 is bound to be one of the best drives you have all autumn long. Head out there and enjoy yourself.

Wherever your path takes you this fall, know that you can call on 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your locksmith needs!

Get Your Car Ready for Fall

Fall finally feels like it’s coming to the Lehigh Valley and that means it’s a good time to do a little bit of car maintenance before the really cold weather hits.

Here are a few tips from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to keep your car in tip top shape through the autumn months. A lot of these may seem like common sense, but a reminder never hurts.

Check your lights
You’ll be using your headlights a lot more during the fall, which is all the more reason to make sure they are working. Don’t stop there, though. Check all of your vehicle’s lights since they are all the more important with shorter days on the horizon.

Replace your wiper blades
Rain, leaves, snow, check. Your wiper blades are going to be getting more work during the fall, be sure to replace blades that show a little wear on them.

Check all of your fluids
Yep, check ’em all. There’s never a bad time to make sure your oil and windshield wiper fluid levels are topped off, but fall is a good place to start. Break out the dipstick and make sure you’re filled up.

Check your batterybr>
Is there a worse feeling than your car not starting because your battery died? It’s not a bad idea to have a technician check your battery to make sure that it’s still up to snuff for the coming winter, especially if it’s a few years old.

Get a wash or detail
Did we just tell you to go get your car detailed? Yep. But, even if you don’t want to spend the money on a full detail, even a good wash is a nice way to spot potential problems in your vehicle.

Fall in the Lehigh Valley is always a beautiful time. Make sure that you keep it fun by having your car at its best. And, of course, call us at 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your locksmith needs.
