How to Help Your Friend With a Key Problem

We all have one of those friend who misplaces their keys at least once a day. Or perhaps you are that friend. You know how annoying it to constantly wait for your buddy to search the entire apartment looking for their keys, but there is nothing you can do about it, or is there?

Your friend locks themselves out of the house and car regularly, they lose their keys on a daily basis, and they have more spare keys hidden in places they don’t remember than anyone should have. It is time to help them out. Put an end to their key problems with a few simple solutions.

The Obnoxious Keychain

Giving your friend a huge, fuzzy, flashing, or noisy keychain is a great way to help them keep track of their keys. They will have trouble losing their keys when there is a giant ball of fluff connected to them. These are easy to find nowadays, many young women think they are cute and fun and attach them to their keys and purses. Or maybe they are just trying to keep track of their own keys.

Design a Designated Place

While reorganizing your friend’s home may be a little over the top, you can create a spot that they can stash their keys daily — somewhere right by the door so that they can drop their keys in the new spot right when they walk through the door. Make it a game if your have to so that they feel more required to participate.

Attach Their Keys to Something

If your friend carries a purse of a backpack, figure out a way to attach the keys to it, even when they are in the ignition of their car. This way, when they turn their car off and remove the keys, they will grab the backpack and the keys will come with. Plus, if they know where their bag is, they know where their keys are.

Be Their Key Keeper

If you are always with your friend, just hold onto their keys for them. This won’t help them get better at keeping track of their keys, but it will lessen the frustration.

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!

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.

Prepare Yourself for Cold When Driving this Winter

With the Lehigh Valley experiencing quite the cold snap this winter, it’s always a good idea to go over what you need to do if you get caught stuck in the cold.

Check out our blog for other tips on winter driving as well.

For your car, you may want to consider checking these on your own or bringing your car into your mechanic to: Check fluids, winterize your car, change your tires, and considering a battery with a higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amps).

For inside your car, you want to make sure you have extra blankets, an ice scraper, extra clothing, lighting (flashlight or otherwise), extra clothing, and a basic first aid kit.

The age of cell phones has made the possibility of being stranded on the side of the road during the winter more rare than in the past, but the possibility of being involved in a traffic jam on a highway where the traffic is stopped for multiple hours is not unheard of.

As always, drive safe and contact us if you need any locksmith help in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania: (484) 891-1922.

Tips for Driving Safely During the Holidays

The holiday season is one of the most exciting of the year, but it’s also one of the most dangerous to drive during. With more people on the road than most other times of the year, the chance for accidents and hazards is high. Here are a few tips that can help you when you’re on your way to grandma’s house for Christmas dinner!

1. Get a good night’s sleep: It may seem like a simple thing to do, but getting a good night’s rest is important when it comes to being alert while you’re driving. Getting a good night’s sleep can also be difficult during a time of the year when you may be expected to do a lot. Take a break!

2. Plan your route in advance and be ready for detours: You may be driving to the same house you’ve been driving to for decades or dinner may be at a new place this year. Either way, it makes sense to go over your route one more time before you go and be ready to have to take a detour of something happens along the way.

3. Follow speed limits and keep your cool: Road rage is a very serious thing, don’t be a part of it and don’t be affected by it. Don’t tailgate and follow the speed limit. Everyone is going to have a shorter fuse than normal when there are that many cars on the road.

4. Secure your home when you leave: Make sure that you lock up your home when you leave and set your alarm if you have one.

5. Try to relax a little: Sounds easier said than done, right? Well, you’re right. But, try to relax a little bit if you can and enjoy the holidays with your family.

And, remember, if you are in need of a locksmith, no matter when it is, call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith. We’ll be there to help you: (484) 891-1922
