Spring Car Care Tips from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith

Spring has sprung in the Lehigh Valley
Spring in the Lehigh Valley means different things to different people. To some, it means getting ready for trips to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. For others, it may mean getting to the Lehigh Valley Zoo or lacing up shoes for runs along some of the beautiful trails in the area.

No matter what it means to you, you won’t have a good spring if you don’t take care of your vehicle. And, thankfully, it’s not that difficult.

Here are a few Spring car care tips!

Change your oil and filter

Just think of it as spring cleaning for your car as well. Everyone knows that it’s a good idea to change their car’s oil at the suggested intervals to keep it running efficiently and keeping gas consumption at a desirable level.

Replace your wiper blades

Your windshield wipers take a beating throughout the winter months so it might be time to get a pair of new ones.

Check your lighting

When’s the last time you turned on your car’s lights, including the four-ways, and walked around your car to see if they all work? Never? Well, it’s time to take a look.

Check your tires

Tires also go through a lot of stress throughout the winter months. If you’re not someone who regularly switches between winter and summer tires, it’s a good idea to do a visual check of them and to check the pressure once the weather gets a bit nicer.

Give your windshield a once over

Winter roads are full of salt and debris and other items that can put a beating on your windshield. Take a look at your windshield for any small cracks that could present a problem down the road. If you do spot a crack, it’s important (and most times less expensive) to fix it early.

If you have any lockout issues, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith 24 hours per day!(484) 891-1922

Our Favorite St. Patrick’s Day Spots in the Lehigh Valley

St. Patrick’s Day is Saturday, March 17, and there aren’t many better places to celebrate than the Lehigh Valley. From authentic Irish bars and restaurants, to the best parades around, here is a quick look at our favorite places to be in 2018.

Jack Callaghan’s Ale House in Allentown

There probably isn’t a better bar to spend your St. Patrick’s Day Saturday in Allentown than Callaghan’s! After the Sunday, March 18 Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Callaghan’s will have $3 16-ounce bottles of Miller Lite, Budweiser and Bud Light and $4 Guinness. A specialty menu will feature Irish staples like corned beef and cabbage.

Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub in Bethlehem

Molly’s may be the epicenter of all Irish happenings in the Lehigh Valley this weekend. It’s a post Bethlehem Parade (we’ll get to that in a minute) spot and will have Irish dancers and bagpipers on Saturday as well!

Porters’ Pub in Easton

Porters’ Pub is opening up at 9 a.m. on Saturday for the first time since it was established in the early 1990s! Look for possibly the most authentic Irish menu in the Lehigh Valley.

South Bethlehem St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 17

Bethlehem’s normal St. Patrick’s Day Parade was unfortunately cancelled, but there will be a brand new one starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday!

The Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade

There aren’t many St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country that can hold a candle to Allentown’s classic. If you want to see how it’s truly done, be there!

Gadgets to Help You Not Lose Your Keys

How many times have you been in a hurry to drive somewhere or really needed to get in the house, but oops, can’t find your keys? Our guess is dozens of times. Recently there have been many products coming out to solve this issue every person faces on a daily basis. Some of the best have come from sites like Kickstarter or indiegogo and are becoming wildly popular.

Tile Mate

Easily the most recognizable of the group is tile. This company creates a variety of trackers that can be attached to key chains, backpacks or purses. Once you get the product all you need to is set up the app created by tile and you’re all set to find your keys, phone, wallet!

TrackR bravo

Another popular company is TrackR. They also sells a small tracking device that you can attached to any keychain or throw in a purse or wallet. The TrackR products do have the interesting feature of doubling as a phone finder, press on your TrackR device and your phone will start ringing. In that regard the more you have the better, you’ll never lose your phone or keys again.

Key Ringer

Now this one may not be the most innovative or new product but you better bet it gets the job done. The KeyRinger XL by Key Ringer is one of the loudest lost key finders on the market. As long as you have one of the two in a set you can press the button and the other will start ringing, very loudly. However if the volume is an issue it is reprogrammable to be softer, or louder if you’d really like.

How to Help Your Friend With a Key Problem

We all have one of those friend who misplaces their keys at least once a day. Or perhaps you are that friend. You know how annoying it to constantly wait for your buddy to search the entire apartment looking for their keys, but there is nothing you can do about it, or is there?

Your friend locks themselves out of the house and car regularly, they lose their keys on a daily basis, and they have more spare keys hidden in places they don’t remember than anyone should have. It is time to help them out. Put an end to their key problems with a few simple solutions.

The Obnoxious Keychain

Giving your friend a huge, fuzzy, flashing, or noisy keychain is a great way to help them keep track of their keys. They will have trouble losing their keys when there is a giant ball of fluff connected to them. These are easy to find nowadays, many young women think they are cute and fun and attach them to their keys and purses. Or maybe they are just trying to keep track of their own keys.

Design a Designated Place

While reorganizing your friend’s home may be a little over the top, you can create a spot that they can stash their keys daily — somewhere right by the door so that they can drop their keys in the new spot right when they walk through the door. Make it a game if your have to so that they feel more required to participate.

Attach Their Keys to Something

If your friend carries a purse of a backpack, figure out a way to attach the keys to it, even when they are in the ignition of their car. This way, when they turn their car off and remove the keys, they will grab the backpack and the keys will come with. Plus, if they know where their bag is, they know where their keys are.

Be Their Key Keeper

If you are always with your friend, just hold onto their keys for them. This won’t help them get better at keeping track of their keys, but it will lessen the frustration.

How Keys Are Made (and How 24/7 Emergency Locksmith Can Make Yours)

An enigma to some and a daily craft for others, the art of key making takes many different forms. Keys cade be duplicated, made from the using just the lock itself, by cutting them with a laser, among many other possibilities. Each way is unique to how it actually pops out a key.

Key duplicators are exactly what they sound like; they make copies of keys from existing ones. Something like this is used when you lose a spare or just need another set of house keys for a boyfriend or girlfriend. The machine uses the existing key as a guide to cut a blank one by grinding it down to match the grooves of the old key.

Code cutters are used when someone loses a key, the most common reason really. How can you make a key from a lock? You have a machine that measures the depth of each groove in the lock and then can be cut into a new blank key. Some keys actually have their ‘key code’ printed on them, as well as some locks, making this process much quicker. Replacing a lost car key is similar although is a little more difficult to key the key code as they have to use your VIN, make, and model of the car to figure it out.

Laser cutters are used for a key that works in a different type of lock. Not all locks use a tumbler method; some use a slider system that requires the keys to be based off of thickness of groves on the side of the key as well. These keys are meant for cars so people can’t use generic keys to break into them, but need a real key to actually work. Funny enough no lasers are used in this machine; it is actually a high-speed bit that uses the ‘key code’ to create grooves and depth at the same time.

24/7 Emergency Locksmith can help you if you need a new key, on the spot. Call us at (484) 891-1922 for 24/7 service.

Four Places to Hide Your Spare Car Key

Hiding your spare key under a rock is so old hat (but you can still check out Instructables.com to make your own.) Having a spare car key is a good idea for a multitude of reasons. Of course, if you lock your keys in your car or forget where you placed them, knowing that you have a spare set is one of the best feelings in the world. And, if you gave your spare to someone else, you know that there is always another option if you lock your keys in your car or misplace them.

So, what are some of the best spots to hide your spare car key? Let’s take a look.

Hide it on the Car

This may not be for everyone, and probably one of the first places a thief will look, but hiding your key in a magnetic box on your car is one of the most popular places. If you’re going to go this route, try to find somewhere a little more creative than under the wheel well.

In Your Purse or Wallet

Sometimes the most obvious places are the best. Keeping your spare key in your wallet or purse makes finding that spare key, or having it when you’re away from home, that much easier.

With Your Neighbor

If you trust your neighbor, keeping a key with them can be helpful. Of course, if you lose your key at 2 a.m., they might not be that happy about it.

In a Unique Spot

If you’re hiding it under a rock near your front door, that spare key may not last there too long. Why not look for a few more unique spots on your property that may be a little harder for a random person to guess, but somewhere you’ll never forget. Hiding it inside vinyl siding or even using a fake sprinkler (instead of a fake rock) may be smart moves.

If you lose your key and don’t have a spare, you need to make a spare, or you can’t find either, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith!

5 Signs That Your Ignition is On Its Way Out

24/7 Emergency Locksmith can solve 99% of ignition problems same day and same hour from being called. Our prices are far cheaper than dealerships and far faster than mechanics. When you are stuck, cannot or do not want to wait, call us for immediate help.

Here are a few signs to look for that will tell you if your ignition may be on its last legs.

Your Car Just Won’t Start

One of the telltale signs is that your car simply won’t start. You may get the engine to crank, but it will probably do so pretty slowly if your ignition is failing.

Your Turn the Key and Nothing Happens

If absolutely nothing happens when you turn your key in the ignition it could be a dead battery, but it could also be a that the ignition switch isn’t working.

Your Car Stalls While Driving

If you’re having issues with your car stalling while you’re driving (not while sitting idle) it could mean that your ignition is having some issues.

Your Key Won’t Turn

If you’re not able to turn the key in the ignition, make sure that the ignition lock is not in place by turning the wheel back and forth. If you still can’t get the key to turn, it may mean that your ignition is worn.

Your Dashboard Lights are Flickering

While this isn’t the most common sign, if you notice that your dashboard lights are flickering while the car is in motion, it could mean that your ignition is close to its last day.

If you notice any of these signs, please be sure to get in touch with 24/7 Emergency Locksmith! Call us at (484) 891-1922.
