Lehigh Valley Driving Tips for Easter Weekend

Easter may not be the first holiday you think about when it comes to lots of driving. But, it’s still a holiday on which a large number of families travel to or from the Lehigh Valley.

Be sure to drive carefully over the course of Easter weekend even if you’re not traveling to see family, and expect there to be a larger number of cars on the road than usual.

Here are some quick tips you can use to make your Easter driving a bit more safe this year.

Keep Emergency Numbers Handy

Make sure you have our number ((484) 891-1922) handy, or other numbers you may need just in case.

Map Your Route Out

We use GPS apps just like the next person, but you shouldn’t let them take total control. Be sure to take a look at your route before you hit the road. In fact, checking your GPS app before you leave may give you a heads up on traffic or delays along the way.

Give your car a once over

Check your tire pressure. Make sure you have enough windshield wiper fluid. Give your oil a check. These quick checks can save you some potential headaches.

Pack your phone charger

Those emergency numbers won’t do much good if your phone is out of juice. Having a backup phone charger battery pack is almost a must these days.

Keep any valuables in your truck or covered up.

It may not exactly be a Christmas haul, but Easter can also be a time where we have valuables in our cars. Be sure to cover them up if you are parking somewhere.

Be safe and have a happy Easter!

5 Simple Tips to Keep Your Car Safe from Thieves

Sometimes, we go on auto pilot when it comes to our car. We’re used to driving to many of the same places and used to perhaps parking in the same location each and every night. And even though habit and routine can be good things, it’s always a good idea to make sure that you’re always keeping your car as safe from potential thieves as possible. Your vehicle is a big investment!

Here are a few tips you can keep in mind to give you that extra edge against car thieves.

Avoid Leaving Valuables In Your Car

We know, we know. It can be a pain to always have to remove things from your car at the end of the day, but if you’re leaving something in sight that may be of some value, it may catch the eye of someone who’s willing to break into your car to get it.

Park Where There’s Light

Parking where it’s well-lit is always a good idea, no matter where you are. If your home doesn’t have any external lighting, perhaps it’s time to start looking into adding some.

Lock Your Car

Seems pretty simple, right? We can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen people post on social media about reminding people to lock their car doors because they just had something stolen overnight from their own unlocked car.

Shut Your Windows and Sun Roof

Again, a pretty simple fix. But, if a thief can get into your car easily, they are probably going to go for it. If they have trouble getting in, the odds are better that they will move on.

Consider an Anti-Theft Device

Many new cars already come with some sort of alarm or theft deterrent built in, which is great. If your car doesn’t have one, or if you simply want to upgrade what you already have, it can pay off to be overly safe.

As always, we’re here for you if you find yourself in a lock out situation. Call us (484) 891-1922.

The “S” Method Parallel Parking Tips From 24/7 Emergency Locksmith

Before you can lock your car, you have to be able to park it effectively. And, while we all think we’re the best parkers in the history of the world, we can always use a bit of a refresher when it comes to parallel parking.

Take a look at one of the most common parallel parking methods, the “S” Method.

1. Turn on your signal and pull up about three feet away from the car you plan to park behind. You’ll want to align your back tires with the other car’s back bumper

2. Put your car into reverse and then turn your steering wheel all the way to the right.

3. Back up until your car is now at a 45 degree angle from its original position, and then stop.

4. Now, turn your wheels all the way to the left.

5. Back up and into the spot slowly until your car is now parallel with the curb.

6. You should be about or less than 12 inches from the curb.

Practice makes perfect!

The Hardest Cars to Break Into

While we’d never use our powers for evil, there are still people out there who make breaking into cars a habit.

Here are some of the cars that are the hardest to break into. If you own one and get locked out, though, don’t worry, we’ll get you back on the road in no time.

BMW and Mercedes

Both of these higher end cars use double locking mechanisms that make them pretty difficult to break in. Even if you break the window, you can’t open the door from the inside on many models. Play it safe and make sure you have spares available.

Honnda Accord

A Honda Accord? Yep. While these may not be BMWs or Mercedes, they do present a unique problem with their build. The space between the auto body and the door on these cars is very narrow, making it difficult to break into by trying to unlock the door.

Lexus

Maybe not surprisingly, Lexus cars are difficult to break into because the button in the door frame is designed to drop down quickly after it is lifted.

No matter what car you have, though, we’ll be able to help you out if you’re ever in a lockout situation. Be sure to save our number!

What Are The Different Types of Car Door Locks?

We might not think too hard about the types of door locks that our cars have, but beyond being interesting, it can sometimes come in handy to know what your car is equipped with. Let’s take a look.

Manual Lock Cylinders

This lock has a knob on the inside of the car that can be pulled up or pushed down. You see these locks all the time in horror movies when the character is trying to get away! If you pull the knob up, the door is unlocked. If you push it down, the door is locked. This lock requires a key for operation.

Automatic Door Lock Types

Would you believe that keyless car locks started all the way back in 1980 by Ford Motor Company? It’s true. These locks are much more common today and can be identified by a pin pad on the door.

Remote Key-Less Systems

What started out as something only found in pricier cars is commonplace today. Remote key systems operate by a radio frequency and a key fob. Some require the owner to push a button to open and lock and some actually just open automatically when an owner is close to the vehicle.

Child Safety Locks

Most cars have child safety locks built into their back doors. The obvious intent here is to keep a child from opening the door in the back. The locks, when engaged, make the inside back door handles useless, keeping kids safe.

If you get locked out, be sure to contact us 24 hours per day at (484) 891-1922.

Your 24/7 Emergency Locksmith New Year’s Resolutions

While you’re thinking about hitting up the gym more or perhaps reading more books as your New Year’s resolutions this year, you should also take a second to think about your locks as well!

Here are a few New Year’s resolutions we think could help you out as you go into 2018.

Remember Your Keys This Year:

Forgetting our keys is a snafu that everyone goes through seemingly at least once a month. Some good tips on remember your keys include keeping them in the same spot, buying a specific item (like a soap dish or a hook) to keep them in, or even putting a note on the door the night before.

Stock Up Your Car:

Most people don’t think about the things that they keep in their car on a daily basis simply because they never need them. However, equipping your car with items such as a first-aid kit, road flares, extra clothing and blankets, and even bottled water can go a long way if you happen to find yourself in an emergency situation.

Take a Look at Your Home Locks:

We’ve all received some great Christmas presents this year, but sometimes the most important part of your home, the locks, can go unchanged for years. Be sure to give us a call and we can take a look at what you have an suggest any changes.

Keep Our Phone Number Handy

: No one plans to get locked out, but you can plan to have us already saved in your phone so that we can get to you quickly. Be sure to add (484) 891-1922 to your phone and we’ll always be there when you need us.

From everyone at 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, Happy New Year!
