Tips on Fixing a Flat Tire

Fixing a flat tire may be a simple thing for some and a complicated task for others. And, remember, not everyone had someone to teach them, either!

Here are a few tips on fixing a flat tire. We’d always recommend you learn how to do this on a tire that’s not flat first (practice, that is!)

  1. Be sure you park the car in as safe a place as possible and use hazard lights and flares if necessary.
  2. Brace your tires if possible by using material, such as a piece of wood, to put in front of and behind the other tires to prevent them from rolling when the jack is in use.
  3. Use your owners manual to determine where to safely place the jack and evenly and slowly jack up the car.
  4. Remove hubcaps and loosen the lug nuts.
  5. Make sure the car is up high enough for the tire to smoothly come off.
  6. Attach the spare and retighten the lug nuts.
  7. Check the lug nuts after a few miles of driving to make sure they are secure and don’t drive too fast!

Call for service if you’re in a space you don’t feel safe changing your tire.

If you get locked out, be sure to call us at 484 891 1922!

5 Mind Blowing Facts About Locks

Locks are fascinating and so important. We use them every single day yet rarely pay them too much mind. So, just for a minute, unlock this combination of five lock facts that will blow your mind!*

Early locks were really heavy and made of wood rather than metal.

Padlocks can be traced all the way back to back to ancient Egypt!

Speaking of Egypt, keys were a symbol of wealth in that period of time due to the fact that few could afford safes or doors with locks.

Harry Houdini worked as a locksmith early on in his career! It’s true!

The 16th-century Russian Ivan The Terrible locked his wife in her room before he went off to war. She was probably not happy about it.

LockPickingLawyer Takes on a 1960s Jiffy Rotary Phone Lock

We’re unabashed in our love of the YouTube account LockPickingLawyer not only because we’re lock geeks, but because he brings the ideas of locks and the work of a locksmith to the masses.

While he’s famous for tackling hard or consumer grade locks, he recently uploaded  a video where he unlocks an old 1960s Jiffy Telephone Lock. The nostalgia factor here may be heavy for some and, for others, they might not have any idea what this contraption was ever used for!

When is the last time you used a rotary phone?

Seven Home Safety Tips in the Lehigh Valley

We’re at home a lot of the time right now due to the current world events. And while being at home has its challenges for many, we may not be thinking about safety as much as we should.

Here are a few quick tips to help get your home safety on track.

  1. Don’t leave a key in an obvious spot: How many times have you had to check in on a friend’s house only to find that they hide their spare key under a potted plant or at the top of a door frame? You’re not being sneaky, you’re being obvious. If you’re going to hide a spare key outside, you may want to up your game a little bit.
  2. Give the illusion of activity: We won’t tell you which brands to buy, but there are numerous inexpensive home lighting automation solutions that you can set up via an app to give the appearance of activity even if you’re home alone.
  3. Get some security cameras, lights and motion cameras: The peace of mind is enough to justify the cost of outfitting your home with security cameras. Now is a good time to upgrade your system. Having footage or sound of an incident can be invaluable.
  4. Secure your garage: It’s a weak spot. This goes for side doors as well. You want them to be as secure as any other entrance in your home.
  5. Trim the hedges: Make sure your landscaping doesn’t make it convenient for someone else to hide from view.
  6. Stay in contact with friends and family
  7. Call us to upgrade your home locks or if you’re in a lockout situation 

Be safe and call us if you’re in need of upgrading your lock system!

Do You Have a Hidden Key, Lehigh Valley? Read this!

If you’re like many people, chances are you have a key hidden somewhere in case of an emergency. We’ve covered a few dos and don’ts already. Read about good hiding spots, places to keep your keys, unique hiding spots, and terrible hiding spots. So while you think you might be covered, it’s a good thing to check on your secret hiding spot, just to make sure it’s still good to go in case you need it.

If you have it hidden outdoors, you’re going to want to make sure that it hasn’t been damaged with the elements. A quick inspection can assure there is no rust, which can gunk up a lock or potentially break the key.

You also might want to consider re-hiding it. If you’ve needed it maybe once in the past, simply putting it back in its spot should be ok. But if you’ve needed it a few times, the chances of revealing your hiding place go higher and higher with each use. By finding a new and secure spot, you’re now protected by both a lockout AND someone who might know where the key is.

Lastly, can’t find your key? You might want to consider a reykey of your home. Sure you might’ve just misplaced it, but that isn’t a guarantee. If you don’t know where every copy of that key is, that means there’s a chance someone else has it.So if you need a hand with your locksmithing needs, call us!

What To Do If Your Car Stops Responding When Driving

 

There aren’t many worse feelings when driving than having your car just die on you. It can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most important thing is making sure you get your car to a complete stop before asking for your help.

So, what should you do? Firstly, guide your car to the side of the road as smoothly as possible. The last thing you want to do is panic. Slow the car down slowly. If you lose use of your brakes, try to coast as smoothly as you can to a stop or use your emergency brake if you feel it’s safe to.

If you can get your car restarted the first place you want to go is to the nearest service station. There is something wrong with your car and you can’t ignore it! If you can’t get the car restarted, put on your emergency flashers or get out your flares and call for help.

Be safe, Lehigh Valley!
