Window Tint in Pennsylvania

Our friends at Fred Beans have given us a little bit of insight into the world of window tint in Pennsylvania.

Be sure to check their site out here and check out their info below!

Window Tint Darkness: Window Tinting Laws in Pennsylvania

Your visible light transmission, or VLT, is the percentage of light allowed through your window glass in Pennsylvania. It differs for vans, sedans, and SUVs, so be sure you’re looking at the appropriate VLT for your vehicle.

Sedans: The front side windows, rear side windows, and rear window must allow over 70% of light into the vehicle. The windshield must also allow over 70% of light in, with the exception of the top three inches.
SUVs and vans: The front side windows must allow over 70% of light in. The front side, rear side, and rear window can be tinted to any darkness level. The windshield must also allow 70% of light in, with the exception of the top three inches.

Window Tint Reflection
One purpose of window tint is to reflect light, which helps reduce heat and glare inside the vehicle. Pennsylvania law allows a certain level of reflection with a tint, depending on the vehicle type.

Sedans: The front side windows and rear side windows can’t have any mirrored or metallic tint.
SUVs and vans: The front side windows and rear side windows can’t have any mirror or metallic tint.

Additional Pennsylvania Window Tint Laws
There are a few additional considerations when you plan to tint your vehicle’s windows and want to stay legal in Pennsylvania. These laws and regulations include:

Side mirrors, if the rear window is tinted.
A sticker to acknowledge legal window tinting.
No requirement for film manufacturers to sell film.
No color exclusions for window tint.
Medical exemptions for special medical circumstances that require a special window tint.
These laws and regulations are for the state of Pennsylvania, but individual counties or localities may have different regulations. Before tinting your vehicle’s windows, be sure to check the current laws through your local Department of Motor Vehicles or law enforcement agency.

Keep Your Lehigh Valley Home Safe While Traveling

Traveling can already be stressful enough without having to worry about what is going on at home. Between the plane tickets or the directions and between the carry on items or the bathroom stops on the Jersey Turnpike, traveling can take its toll on our stress levels.

But, what about when you get to your destination and all you can think about is whether or not you locked the house and if you remembered to keep that back porch light on.

Thankfully, in this age of technology, and with a few small other tips, you can keep your home safe while you’re traveling the globe or just down to the shore.

Ask Someone To Look Out For You

Whether it’s a neighbor or a friend, having someone swing by your place is helpful because they can make it look more “lived-in” and can also bring in mail that may be a sign no one is home. A visitor can also make sure to check around the property for you to keep things in line or to notice any trouble.

Cameras

Home security cameras are so inexpensive these days that they make for a fantastic investment when it comes to home safety. You can check many of them from your phone and most will give alerts if they detect something amiss.

Lock Up

It may be tempting to leave that back porch door open for your mother-in-law to come in and check on the cat, but it’s just simply not a good idea to keep anything open while you’re away.

Schedule Lights

Smart home devices have come a long way and while setting up light timers isn’t a new concept, technology has made it as simple as possible. From a smart home app connected to your smart home lights, you can set a schedule for them or simply turn them off and on from your phone anywhere there’s cell reception.

Don’t Leave Keys Out

Leaving a key under a rock or on top of your door is a cliche, so why do so many of us still do it? Don’t leave a spare key out where someone you don’t want to can find it. Give the spare key to someone you trust.

Be Careful on Social Media

Social media posting is a personal preference, but you may want to curb some of it in real-time if you want to make sure no one knows that you’re not at home. That’s up to you!

Bottom line, as long as you leave your home with someone you trust who can take a look around every so often and bring in your mail, etc., you’re at a much lower risk of having something happen to your property while you’re away. Have a safe and fun vacation this summer!

Three Key Ring Hacks You May Want To Know

Sometimes there are things we can’t stand to do, but don’t exactly remember that we don’t like them until we actually have to do them. One such task for many would be taking things on and off of key rings.

Here are some interesting hacks for helping in that annoying situation.

Staple Remover:

This is so easy and simple. Most of us have a staple remover floating around and wonder to ourselves, “why do I even have this?” Now you have a reason to keep it!

Coin:


Just jam a small coin into the opening groove. Then slide the key into the opened groove and spin the key though the loop.

Metal Nail File:


Just use the pointed tip of the file to gently pry open the start of the ring. Then slip the key in. Be extra cautious with this method, you don’t want to poke yourself.

Do you have a handy keyring hack?

If you are in need of any locksmith service, call us!

Unique Smart Lock Features

If you have ever looked into updating the locks in your home or business, you might have noticed the phrase “smart lock” popping up in your online search results. While some features are obvious, there are other features on certain locks that you might not know about.

Here are a few neat features that a smart lock can have you might not know!

Biometrics:
Like in a spy film, but less laser-y, this is a way to scan a physical feature on the person who has access. Your smart phone might already have one if you use your finger to unlock it.

Security Tokens:
While you might not need an actual key to unlock a smart lock, they still might not unlock unless you have a physical item within a small radius of its surroundings. It could be as simple as an electronic card in your wallet or a keychain.

Integration with Alarm Companies:
If a lock is tampered with or broken, it can send a signal to your alarm company. Pretty neat!

Alexa/ Home Assistant Communication:
“Alexa, lock the front door,” and voila! You don’t even need to get out of bed to make sure the house is locked up for the night.

Access Log:
Want to know when the dog sitter stopped by? A smart lock can log in every time it was accessed and tell you exactly each time it was used.

Want to update your locks and make sure a feature you want is available? Give us a call! We’ll help you find the perfect smart lock for your personal or professional needs!
