Yep, it’s that time of year again, when we get to talk about it getting cold. No one wants to think about it and there aren’t many people looking forward to it, but the cold comes to the Lehigh Valley every year no matter what.
Between shoveling and putting on snow tires and keeping our sidewalks clear of ice, we may not also be thinking about how to unlock frozen car doors or keep them unfrozen.
Here are a few steps.
Stay warm out there and be sure to call us if you find yourself in any lockout situation: (484) 891-1922.

Celtic Classic, or Celtic Fest as it is affectionately known, returns to downtown Bethlehem September 27-29.
Since 1988 Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) has been hosting the Celtic Classic Highland Games and Festival in Bethlehem each September. This internationally known celebration of all things Celtic has been the foundation upon which CCA has been built.
The goal of this dedicated group was to create an event that symbolized the Celtic spirit and history, and to provide the impetus for an organization that focused on promoting the Celtic culture.
The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of “Next Generation”, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These scholarships are offered to students including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.
Be sure to call us at (484) 891-1922 if you encounter a lockout situation while at Celtic Classic! We’ll be there faster than some of those guys and gals can eat haggis!

We realize we recently posted a video from the YouTube account, and one of our favorites “LockPickingLawyer”, but this was just too good to pass up.
Sometimes, some locks are just fascinating to see as they are broken down. Many times, this YouTuber has no problem getting around locks and their defenses in order to show their weaknesses. This time, however, he’s met his match.

We’ve posted videos by YouTube user LockPickingLawyer a few times on our blog before. And, to be honest, I could see us adding more from him in the future.
What makes his videos special are the time he takes to explain the mechanisms of each lock he features. Sometimes, the workarounds he finds aren’t any that you would find in a lock picking manual, especially this one.
Take a look at how quickly he breezes through this fingerprint lock gun safe. Make sure to research any safes you buy as much as you can!

The Lehigh Valley gets all four seasons and each one has its own challenges when it comes to driving. The summer has a lot of traffic, the winter has snow and sleet, the spring isn’t so bad, but the fall can be tricky.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when it comes to driving as the weather goes from hot to cool to cold.
Leaves in the Lehigh Valley are beautiful but they can be slippery. Try to avoid braking on leaves and drive slowly through them. Leaves may also obscure any markings below them, so be extra vigilant.
As the weather gets colder, fog becomes more of a reality and rain can be a bit more tricky. Be more cognizant of the weather now that fall is approaching and drive accordingly, giving yourself extra time to stop and an adequate distance between cars in front of you.
Your morning commute can get a bit more slippery if it goes over a bridge, especially a smaller one. Bridges get cold first, which can lead to slick conditions even when roads are completely fine. Be careful and don’t enter a bridge at an angle if possible.
New season, new reason to check your tire pressure and make sure it’s within the manufacturer’s guidelines.
You may not have even needed to use them during the summer, but now that the fall is creeping in, days are getting shorter. Make sure your headlights are up to par this fall season.
And, of course, remember that school is back in session. Be smart!

Believe it or not, we don’t mind looking at locks and learning more about them even though we deal with them throughout the work day.
Locks are fascinating to locksmiths and it’s always fun to share a little bit of what we find interesting with you.
We recently came across a treasure trove of fun old lock items on eBay that we’d like to share. Of course, we don’t endorse these items or suggest you purchase them, we just thought they were really cool!
Take a look.
You never know what you’re gonna get in one of these, but if the price is low, then they can be worth it.
Just like the skeleton keys, never pay much for a lot of these types of items. They can be great for a variety of things beyond simply collecting, including art projects. Always worth a look.
Sometimes you can find some interesting old style locks that were recently made. Of course, these shouldn’t come at a premium and are fun accents to home decor or your collection of lock items.
Little more than souvenirs, these types of lock items are always fun. They are more fun if you can find them “in the wild” rather than purchasing them online, but maybe that’s just our opinion!
Every type of thing you can collect, whether it’s comic books or baseball cards, you’ll always have those odd items that you just might need to have only because it exists.
Whatever your collection, have fun with the next find!
