Five Fall Driving Tips

Summer in the Lehigh Valley doesn’t seem like it wants to cool down, but fall is officially here and that does change things a bit when it comes to your driving habits.

We may not often take the time to think about it, but the changing of seasons should also coincide with with a change in how we approach the road. Let’s take a look at five tips that can help you as fall arrives.

1. Be Wary of the Dark

According to the National Safety Council, while just 25 percent of our driving is at night, 50 percent of traffic deaths occur then. It also gets darker earlier during the fall.

2. Watch Out For Kids

This almost goes without saying, but kids will be walking home from school or the bus during the fall. That’s a big change from the summer, so be prepared to look out for them in crosswalks or pretty much anywhere else.

3. Watch Out For Deer

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers are 3.5 times more likely to hit an animal, especially a deer, during November than any other month of the year. Stay alert.

4. Roads Get Slippery

Water doesn’t evaporate as quickly during the fall. Couple that with fallen leaves and roads, especially bridges, get much more slippery than usual. Be careful when breaking.

5. Take Your Car in for Service

The fall is a great time to get your tires rotated, or just looked at in general. You will rely on them much more in the fall and winter months than in the spring and summer.

Be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for any of your lockout, keys, or locksmith needs!

Common Places To Lose Your Keys

Many people add funky key chains or colorful lanyards to their key rings to better keep track of their keys. Others hang hooks on the wall by their front door to help keep their keys in the same place everyday. But even with all of these techniques and precautions we take to ensure we don’t misplace our car keys, it happens more than we would like to admit.

If you are the type of person who loses your car keys more often than not, this blog may help you track them down. At 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, we can make replacement keys, for your car or home, if you cannot find them in any of these common places.

In Drawers

Many people walk in their home, place their keys on the counter, and walk away. But if you are distracted or quickly decluttering your counter space, your keys could easily end up in a drawer. If you usually leave your keys on the counter and suddenly they are missing, make sure to dig through some of your drawers.

The Bedroom or Bathroom

When you get home from work, errands, school, or anywhere else, you may head straight for your room to throw on your sweatpants or the bathroom to hop in the shower. When this happens, it is easy to drop your keys in your bed, on a chair, on the counter, or even on the floor, which may not seem hard to find, but if you are used to leaving your keys on the table next to the front door, then it will come as a surprise when they are not there the next time you need them.

On The Couch

Relaxation may be your number one goal upon returning home. That may mean you head straight for the couch without taking your shoes off or putting down any of your belongings. If you have been guilty of doing this from time to time, you may want to check between couch cushions, under the couch, or in the surrounding area for your keys.

In The Car

No one wants to admit it, but it is easy and common to leave your car keys in the car. Whether it is in the ignition or simply on the passenger seat, your keys may still be in your car. Let’s just hope you don’t accidentally lock your keys in your car. But if you do, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith can help!

If you can’t find your keys anywhere in your home or car, contact us. We can help you get replacement keys or help you get back into your car if you are locked out! Learn more about our services!

The Importance of Spare Keys

Park and rides are a service that are extremely useful when you need them. Meeting someone in one location to carpool to your destination is a time saver and more eco-friendly than taking your own car. Whether you use park and rides a lot or rarely, surely you have appreciated the service it provides.

Generally, you are not worried about your car sitting in the park and ride for a few days, and many of them are patrolled. But one thing you may not realize, or even consider, is whether or not you are parking in a lot that allows overnight parking. Suddenly your days on vacation become a panic and you are unsure if you will return to find ticket on your windshield or your car towed away.

When this happens, one of the best options is to call a friend or family member to get your spare key and remove your car from the park and ride. Problem solved, right? Well that depends, if you know where your spare key is and they have easy access to it, then yes, the problem is solved. But maybe you are unsure. Perhaps you moved your spare key into a safe spot in case you ever need it but now, you can’t remember where that is.

Or maybe you don’t even have a spare. In this case there is no hope for you and your car will remain in the forbidden spot until you return. Maybe you will be lucky and have no tickets sticking out of your windshield wipers. Maybe your car will sit there perfectly fine and left untouched and unnoticed.

If you are one of the lucky ones, then you will return from your trip and find nothing but your car, ready to take you home. But this is not always the case. And spare keys are not always in the safe space that you remember. Ensuring that you have a spare in a known location can save you from stressing about what may happen throughout your entire vacation.

At 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, we can help you prepare for these unplanned issues, making you a spare or two that you can keep in a well known place. Be ready for any moment, know where your spare is, and make sure you have a spare. We can help. Contact us today!

A Time Before Car Keys

As you leave the store that you stopped at to pick up a few things after a long day at work, you get to you car only to realize you have locked your car keys inside. They are sitting right there, in the driver’s seat, mocking you with the unlock button glowing in the setting sun. This can truly ruin your day and can be a hassle to deal with, but 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is here to help.

We know the struggle of locking our car keys inside the car and when this happens, you want to get this fixed fast. If you find yourself in this situation, call us. We can be there faster than you would expect and help you get into your car and on your way home in no time.

While you wait for us to show up, take a moment to think about what life was like before the car key was invented. You may think that w

ithout car keys there were probably no cars and everyone continued to get around using horse and buggy. But this is not the case.

When cars first came into existence, the car key was not even thought about. You didn’t need keys to unlock you car, because you couldn’t even lock your car. Most cars were topless and honestly, quite easy to steal.

If there were no car keys, how did someone start the car? There was a starter lever, a long bar that has a head and socket system that fit to your engine. They would have to crank this a few times to get the car started. The process required strength and patience and had to be done physically, every single time.

This means running to the store quickly wouldn’t be easy, a drive could not just get in and go. And as engines progressed, this cranking task got more difficult and physically demanding. This also made it easier for someone to simply take your car. According to expressautokeys.co.uk, Henry Ford used to chain his car to a lamppost with a padlock every time he parked so that it could not get stolen. The same as you would do with a bike!

So as you sit here, waiting for 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to come and help you get back into your car, just be thankful that you can simple start your car with the turn of a key and that you don’t have to chain it to a lamppost to ensure no one steals it. Contact us today to get help getting back into your car!

Places To Look For Your Car Keys

Losing car keys is something that we all do, some of us more than others. And we generally misplace them in locations that we often visit in our homes, but in places where keys don’t belong. Like the refrigerator, for instance.

Search your entire home, retrace your steps, and if you still can’t find your car keys, give 24/7 Emergency Locksmith a call. We can cut you a new key and have you on your way in no time. If you do happen to lose your keys, and you know they are somewhere around your home, these are the places you should look.

The Fridge

We mentioned this location above, because it is a very common place to misplace things. Have you ever been out of it and accidentally put the cereal away in the refrigerator and the milk in the pantry? This can easily happen with your car keys too. You get home from a long day at work and go straight to the fridge for your favorite beverage and you put your keys in it’s place. It is simple to do, so be sure to check your fridge.

Bathroom

Maybe you are driving home as quickly as possible because you need to use the bathroom. You run in your home without putting anything down and head straight for the bathroom. You keys may end up in the sink, on the floor, in a drawer, on a pile of magazines, or maybe even in the toilet, but let’s hope that never happens.

Your Car

When you get home from a busy day, collecting all of your things takes focus and hands, you may turn your car off and put the keys on the dashboard, in the center console, on the passenger seat, or you may even just leave them in the ignition. It happens, so be sure to search your car.

Every Pocket

Check pockets. Even if you don’t remember wearing a coat, or putting your keys in the pocket of your pants, or the tiny pocket in your purse, there is a chance your keys are in one of these trinket holders. Be sure to dig into every pocket you can find and be sure to empty your purse.

First Stop After Leaving The Car

If the first thing you do when you get home is feed the dogs, check inside the bag of dog food. Hopefully you find it before they eat it. If the first thing you do is go through the kitchen drawers to find your letter opener for you mail, check in those drawers and possibly in your mailbox.

Be sure to check throughout your entire home and car and surrounding areas and anywhere else you may have been from the time you got out of the car until now. And if you still can’t locate your keys, contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith. We can come to you and cut a new key in no time.

Car Key Mistakes

Your boyfriend volunteered for the both of you to help his friend move over the weekend. You arrive at their house and go through your car exit routine—roll up the windows, turn off the car, throw your keys in your purse, and lock the doors from the inside as you get out, since your car key fob has a dead battery.

Before slamming your door shut, you realize you don’t need to tote your purse around while moving and decide to leave it in the car. You forcefully slam the door shut and just as it hits the frame of your car, you realize your mistake. You left your keys in the purse, which is now locked in your car.

With the help of 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, you can get those keys out in no time. But you don’t call for assistance. You ignore the problem, help pack and move your friend’s stuff, loading everything into the truck they rented, and attempting to get everything done quickly.

You remember you have a spare key at home but that is across town and would require you hitching a ride from your friend, taking up more time in your day and prolonging the moving process. Your boyfriend says he knows how to break into cars, not because he is a crook, but because he has a habit of locking his keys in the car as well, match made in heaven.

After packing everything up, it is time to drive to the new house and unpack it all. And now you actually need your car. You think about calling 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, but your boyfriend is determined to get your car unlocked without assistance.

So you go about the usual keys locked in car routine. Check to make sure all the doors are actually locked at least three times, check to see if the keys magically appeared on the outside of the car twice, peer into the car window as if hoping a troll will pop up from under your seat and unlock the door for you, and finish by jiggling the handle one last time.

Your boyfriend uses the claw part of a hammer to pry the door further from the frame, and you take a wire hanger, like you’ve seen in the movies, and twist it so it perfectly fits around the lock, and you pull. You actually do it, you unlocked your car without damages, without assistance, and now your feel like you can make it on the streets.

It doesn’t always turn out like this, you could have broken your window, or ruined your door in the process. Which is why you should always call for assistance. 24/7 Emergency Locksmith will always be able to help you, every hour of the day, every day of the week. Next time you make the mistake of locking your keys in the car, don’t make another, call us and we will be there to help in no time.

Tips to Help You Remember Your Keys

24 hour locksmith Allentown Our 24-hour locksmith service in Allentown receives calls every day from people who have forgotten their keys and locked themselves out of their home, office, or vehicle. It’s easier to do than you might imagine, but for some people forgetting their keys is a chronic issue. If you feel like you are always leaving your keys behind, we have some tips that can help you remember to grab those keys when you head out the door!

Use These Tips to Keep Your Keys Close

Always put them in the same place.

We’re creatures of habit. If you put your keys in the same place every day and make a point to pick them up from there before you head out the door for 30 days in a row, before you know it the action will just become a habit. Set up a key rack by your front door or have a bowl where your keys always go when you walk inside.

Put a post-it note on the back of the door.

Make a brightly colored reminder and put it on the back of your door or other location where you won’t miss it before you head out. Make yourself read the note fully and check that you have each item on the list. Useful for remembering things like wallets and umbrellas, too!

Add a clip to attach to something you never forget.

While many of us will forget our keys, for some reason we never forget our phones! Or maybe you don’t go anywhere without your trusted Kindle. Or perhaps it’s the baby seat you wouldn’t leave behind. Whatever it is, add a carabiner clip to your keys and attach them to that thing you don’t leave the house without.

Call Our Team When You Are Locked Out

Even if you put all of our tips into action, chances are you’ll end up forgetting your keys from time to time. That’s okay! When you do, just give our 24-hour locksmith in Allentown a call. We can be on site in 20 minutes or less so your day isn’t ruined because you forgot your keys. Get in touch with us today by filling out the form below!
