Thank you to our January and February Google Reviewers!

We’ll never underestimate the power of positive reviews from our customers. Word of mouth, whether it be directly from your friend to you or through online reviews, is something that has benefitted us for many years. We understand that if you provide safe, prompt, and quality service to a customer, then they may tell others.

With that in mind, each and every time we answer a call for a lockout situation or just to replace a set of keys, we want to make an impression on our customers that we don’t forget.

So, thank you to everyone who takes the time to review us! We hope that you can do so as well.

Do You Remember the NES Game “Locksmith”?

Hey, as far as video games go, locksmithing may not be at the top of the professions that would normally have a game created around it. Sure, the act of picking locks is seen in so many games now that it’s become ubiquitous, which is always fun for us, but the hope of ever having a game ONLY about locksmithing is probably a pipe dream at this point.

With that in mind, it was pretty difficult to find a game about locksmithing that ever existed, but we were successful!

in 1991, Sachen released the game “Locksmith” which we have unfortunately never played. Luckily, through the magic of the internet, we were able to take a look at the gameplay and, well, we have to say that it was a little underwhelming.

The narrator in the video, which you can watch by clicking on the picture below, takes us through the life of a locksmith… in what looks like the olden days. We start out fighting some sort of officer and then make our way to figuring out puzzles to pick locks, which is actually kind of fun.

We don’t necessarily need to ever play this game, but it’s fun to know that it exists! Click the pic to watch.

Can Old Home Keys Be Remade by Your Locksmith?

If you are the owner of an older home, chances are many of the original hardware pieces could also still there. From light fixtures, trim, doors, and maybe even the original key that fits all of those old locks.

They sure don’t make stuff like they used to, so keeping those original elementals might be crucial to the aesthetic to the home. However, the odds that more than one of the original key is still floating around in a 100+ year home is pretty slim. But who wants to share a single key throughout the whole house? Sure, you might get lucky at your next flea market or antique store trip to find a potential old key, but that is unreliable at best.

So what do you do if you want some privacy? Sure you can simply add in a simple hook and eye, but that requires drilling into the antique door and frame. Another option is to replace the locking mechanisms in your doors, which could be challenge for a number of reasons and it could change the entire look of an antique door.

So what DO you do? Another option you might not have thought of would be to have another copy of that old key made! While the process can be a challenge, it can also help preserve the functionality of your home and preserve the originality of your home. The only thing required is to have a key to make a copy of first.

It’s also a good idea to have a professional give all of the old locks throughout your home a once over. Nothing would be more unpleasant than using your new key in a lock, only to have the worn pieces within the locking mechanism fail from age and a lack of use.

So if you have an older home, speak to us and we can assist in keeping those antique locks working great!

Within a short time your home will be even more historically accurate with some beautiful and functional original door locks that can give you privacy, safety, and will just be pretty cool to gloat about.

Hey, locksmiths can have funny memes, too. Sure, the life of a locksmith can sometimes involve long hours and calls at all times of night, especially with 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a sense of humor.

Why Can Key Fobs Be So Expensive?

Back in the day (ten years or so or more) getting a new key for your car wasn’t that big of a deal. Sure, it wasn’t much fun and you still had to contact your car dealer, but at least it wasn’t prohibitively expensive and wasn’t a huge pain in the rear end.

Nowadays, however, with key fobs that make our life easier, replacing one can be a much bigger pain in that rear end.

 

The automobile key fob sure makes life easier: You can lock your car from your bedroom and find it in a parking garage by activating flashing lights.

But if you lose or break your fob, you can’t replace it for a few bucks at the local hardware store, the way you can your old-fashioned house keys.

In all likelihood, replacing the fob will cost hundreds of dollars, maybe even more than $1,000, if you drive an expensive luxury vehicle.

That’s what Albert Pierce wanted to know. It cost him $347 to replace a broken fob to his 2013 Nissan Altima. He paid it grudgingly at the service department of Boch Nissan in Norwood, after what he told me was a “long, serious discussion” with one of the managers. SOURCE: Boston Globe

 

Thankfully, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith can take a few steps out of getting your new key fob made for you.

First of all, we can bring that key fob right to you and we can usually cut your new key right on site.

Broken Car Key in the Lehigh Valley? What Can You Do?

Yes, it is possible to break your car key. Just like the other parts of your car, your car key can become worn out over time and may eventually break. Your car key has the potential of breaking in the lock, the ignition, or breaking if you drop them on the hard pavement. While that last one is pretty unlikely, you never know! Car keys can break and applying too much pressure to them in the ignition may cause your older key to snap in half.

We’ve all been in a situation where a key has broken and the frustration is palpable. It’s not like you just misplaced them and have the chance of finding them again, your key is actually physically broken and there is no way for you to open your car or home. That’s the absolute worst!

If this ever does happen, contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith before doing anything else! We will be able to extract your car key from the lock or ignition, carefully as to not damage any inner workings of your vehicle. After we extract the broken key, we will be able to cut you a new key, right then and there, allowing you to carry on as though nothing has happened.

5 Things Worse Than Getting Locked Out of Your Car in the Lehigh Valley

If you’ve ever locked yourself out of your car, whether it’s before work or just before you need to get somewhere in general, it’s one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s so bad, in fact, that we thought there couldn’t be more than a few things that could actually be worse.

Here they are…

Walking Across a Floor of Legos

Sure, it may depend on the length of the floor, but making your way across a floor covered in Legos may just be worse than getting locked out of your car.

Missing Breakfast at McDonald’s Before they went to all day breakfast

Remember getting there at 10:35 a.m. and being told that they had switched to the lunch menu? Nooooo!

Getting Caught in a Traffic Jam on Interstate 78 after Work on a Friday

Sometimes, getting stuck in a traffic jam isn’t the worst thing, especially if you have your favorite podcast or Spotify playlist cued up. However, if you’re heading home for the weekend and you’re stuck in what seems like an endless gridlock, that’s just no fun.

Having a Huge Snow Storm on a Weekend

Really, weather? You couldn’t wait until Monday morning to deliver those 12 inches of snow?

Getting Locked Out of Your House or Apartment

Sure, getting locked out of your car isn’t fun, but getting locked out of your house or apartment is worse. At least if you can’t get into your car you can hang out inside for 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to come help you out!

If you find yourself in a lockout situation, be sure to reach out to us and we’ll get you out of a jam in a jiffy: (484) 891-1922.
