Does Your Key Fob have a Secret or Two?

While a keyfob unlocks your vehicle (duh) it might also have other handy dandy features as well. While some are obvious, others might not be. Here are a few things your key fob might do other than lock and unlock your car or truck.

Vehicle Summon
Ok so this is really only a Tesla thing, sorry Toyota owners, and is only for certain models. But with a quick button combo, your vehicle is out waiting for you on a rainy day.

An Actual Key
Fob not working? Some keyless fobs actually have a key tucked away inside. That way you can still get inside and back on the road.

Remote Start
Too warm or too hot out? A remote start gets your car to a nice temp before you’re off to work.

Mirror Folding
Keep your side views safe with a click of a button.

Put Down the Windows
Need some fresh air in your vehicle? No problem if your fob has the power!However with all these potential features, you don’t know what you’ve got until you look it up.

 

Check out the owners manual or look it up online to see if your keyfob has any extra abilities.Lastly, be careful. If your fob rolls down your windows, for example, make sure you don’t actually activate that feature on a rainy day.Does your fob have any cool extras you didn’t know about?

Thinking of Changing Your Locks? Here’s When You Should

When should you get new locks on your home? We have a few suggestions below. Be sure to call us if you have any questions, 484-891-1922.

  • You Lost Your Key: That means someone else could easily have access to it. It’s time to get some new locks.
  • You Move Into a New Home: Well, you obviously don’t want the old owners (or even the contractors) to have keys to your locks. It’s time to rekey.
  • You Had a Break-In: Even if you had a break-in that didn’t involve a lock, the thief may have had access to your keys. New locks are a go.
  • You’ve Gone Through a Breakup: It may seem silly, but if you’ve gone through a serious breakup or a divorce, it could be time to get new locks. A lock is only as good as the person who has the key to it.
  • You Have Old Locks: If this is the case, it may be time to take a look at them. Give us a call!

How Not to Lose Your Keys this Holiday Season

Christmas is no time to be locked out of your home or vehicle. While Santa knows how to enter a home even if it’s locked, climbing down the chimney isn’t something we’d recommend to just anyone. (In fact we DO NOT recommend it at all!)

Christmas means a deviation from your normal routine, which increases your chances for a lock out. Here are a few tips to help you prevent any issues this joyous season.

Keep your keys on your person

You’ll be visiting friends and family, so keeping your keys on you or in a pocket means they won’t go missing when the excitement takes over.

Keep them in sight

If you take multiple trips to the car, make sure your keys are visible before you close the trunk when you’re loading and unloading your new haul of gifts.

Keep your routine

Try to stick to any sort of routine when it comes to putting your keys away. It’s so exciting to enjoy your new gifts, but still remember to put your keys in their designated spot so you’re not scrambling to find them for work the next day.

But if you find yourself locked out of your house this holiday season, or if you locked the gifts in the car because you were excited to see grandma, we’re here to help you get back into the holiday spirit!

Lock Your Doors, Lehigh Valley

Just the other day, we saw someone post on our neighborhood Facebook group reminding people to lock their car doors. It turns out that criminals were going car to car and seeing which car doors were locked and then opening those cars and taking whatever they could inside.

We get it, you’re supposed to lock your doors and it’s a pretty simple thing to do. But, have you ever forgotten to lock your door? We all have. Whether it’s due to one of your kids running into the house or maybe even a torrential downpour, there are many reasons that people sometimes forget to lock their car or house doors. You’re only human.

That being said, it’s never a bad idea to improve on remembering important things, like locking your doors. Even if you live in the safest neighborhood in the Lehigh Valley, it’s a good idea to lock your door.

Many times, car break ins are the result of simply leaving your car unlocked. Had you locked it, that criminal would have gone onto the next car.

The same can also be said for your home. There really is no good idea to leave your house unlocked at any time.

Do whatever it takes to remind you. Sometimes, the simplest things are the easiest. How about leaving a note right inside the house door? It’s a simple, but effective way to keep locking your doors, and keeping yourself and your loved ones safe.

How To Properly Clean Off Your Car, Lehigh Valley

Cleaning off your car in the winter is a fact of life. No one is excited to do it. No one enjoys standing out in the cold or the precipitation while they are doing it. But, the simple fact is that cleaning off your car of snow, ice, and other debris as the result of winter weather can literally save lives.

Every year, people are hurt or worse on the roadways as the result of someone not cleaning off their vehicle properly leading to ice flying off their car and striking another.

Get in the habit of cleaning off your car now! Here’s now.

  1. Survey the situation: Is it just snow? Is it ice? Is it not even worth driving in the current conditions? Take a second and see what you’re getting yourself into.
  2. Make sure you have tools available: Pretty much every gas station is going to have brushes or ice scrapers or both. Don’t wait until it starts snowing to buy one. Get one now and leave it in your car.
  3. Start from the top: Clean the top of your car first. It’s the area most people either forget or neglect, so do it first.
  4. Clear off all all windows and the sides as well: There’s no reason to have any windows still covered. Would you drive like that in the summer? All it does is make your more dangerous on the road to yourself and others.
  5. Scrape off all ice: Even if it’s just on the passenger side mirror, scrape it off. Clear your car off as completely as humanly possible.
  6. Check the roads again: Is it safe to drive?
  7. Be safe on the roadway.

Be safe out there this winter season and call us if you’re in a lockout situation! (484) 891-1922
