Get Your Car Ready for Fall

Fall finally feels like it’s coming to the Lehigh Valley and that means it’s a good time to do a little bit of car maintenance before the really cold weather hits.

Here are a few tips from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to keep your car in tip top shape through the autumn months. A lot of these may seem like common sense, but a reminder never hurts.

Check your lights
You’ll be using your headlights a lot more during the fall, which is all the more reason to make sure they are working. Don’t stop there, though. Check all of your vehicle’s lights since they are all the more important with shorter days on the horizon.

Replace your wiper blades
Rain, leaves, snow, check. Your wiper blades are going to be getting more work during the fall, be sure to replace blades that show a little wear on them.

Check all of your fluids
Yep, check ’em all. There’s never a bad time to make sure your oil and windshield wiper fluid levels are topped off, but fall is a good place to start. Break out the dipstick and make sure you’re filled up.

Check your batterybr>
Is there a worse feeling than your car not starting because your battery died? It’s not a bad idea to have a technician check your battery to make sure that it’s still up to snuff for the coming winter, especially if it’s a few years old.

Get a wash or detail
Did we just tell you to go get your car detailed? Yep. But, even if you don’t want to spend the money on a full detail, even a good wash is a nice way to spot potential problems in your vehicle.

Fall in the Lehigh Valley is always a beautiful time. Make sure that you keep it fun by having your car at its best. And, of course, call us at 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your locksmith needs.

Four Tips for Taking Care of Your Keys

Our car and house keys are one of the most important things that we carry with us each day, but we may not give them the proper respect that they deserve.

Here are a few tips on how to properly take care of your keys and get the most out of them over the long haul.

1. Security

Car keys are one of the first things that a burglar will target in someone’s house. Do you have a safe place to store them that isn’t inside a basket or on a hook in the front door? It’s a good idea to keep them in the same place each and every night. Not only will it make it harder for you to forget them, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that they are safe.

2. Got a Spare?

Having a spare key is a great idea, and one that some people tend not to undertake. Have a spare key hidden somewhere on your property that isn’t under a flowerpot in your front yard. Also, it’s smart to give a spare key to a relative or loved one if you are locked out or if an emergency arises.

3. Take a Look

Keys may seem sturdy, and most are, but they can easily bend or break like anything that’s used on a daily basis. If you notice a bit of a bend on your keys or they aren’t turning like they used to, it’s time to give us a call.

4. Did We Mention Security?

Treat your keys like you do your wallet. Make sure that they aren’t visible when you go out and make sure that you keep them in a safe and secure place on your person. If you do know that your keys have been stolen or lost, we’re here for you. Contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith.

How To Get Replacement Keys

Car keys can go missing and stop working from time to time and when this happens, you either need to search for the missing key, know where a spare is, or get one made. If you have searched everywhere and still cannot find the missing keys or the spare, a new one will have to be made.

Luckily, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is on it! We can meet you where you are, cut and program your new key, and have you on your way! But just in case that doesn’t work for you, there are other ways for you to get your new car key, which take longer than having us help you out.

Method 1

One way you can get your car keys replaced is to copy down the VIN number which can be found in the driver’s side dashboard or on your car’s insurance information. You will also want to write down your car’s information—the year, make, and model. This will help determine what type of car key you get to replace yours. Head to a locksmith! If you contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, we will come to you and help you get your new key! We can cut you a new key, make a new fob, and help you program it, getting you on your way in no time.

Method 2

If you have a new vehicle and need to replace your electronic key you have a few options. You can always go to the dealership to get a key replaced, and sometimes this is the best option because locksmiths may not be able to replace your key it it is too new. However, a locksmith may be able to help and will most likely be less expensive. After getting your new fob key from a dealership or locksmith, you will have to program it. Our locksmiths can help you do this! Once programmed you are good to go.

Method 3

Just like everything electronic, car keys can malfunction from time to time. If you think your key is not working due to weather, don’t rush to get it replaced. You keys could also have issues if you just had work done on your car’s electrical system. If this is the case, try to reset the keys first. Change the batteries to see if that is the problem. If they still don’t work, head to 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to get them replaced and reprogrammed.

If your car keys are missing or simply not working, we can help. There are many problems that can occur with car keys, but 24/7 Emergency Locksmith can help. Contact us today, we will come and make you a new key, program it, and have you on your way.

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!

The Worst Car Keys Problems

If you have ever run around the house searching every nook and cranny for your car keys, you are not alone. Almost everyone has lost their car keys at least once in their life, and on average people spend about six minutes trying to find their car keys in the morning. So as you scuttle around your home, trying to remember the last place you placed your keys, remember that you are not alone!

While almost everyone has lost their keys at least once, the number of people who have locked their keys in the car hopefully is not as large. But if you happen to lock your keys in the car, don’t fret. 24/7 Emergency Locksmith can help you get into your car and on the road in no time! Unfortunately, locking your keys in the car is not the worst thing you can do.

Broken Key

What would you do if you were running late to work and after searching for your keys for five minutes? You would probably run out to your car and begin to unlock it. Then the unimaginable happens. Your key breaks off in the door or the ignition.

To be able to fix this problem and get on your way, you must first get the key out of the door or ignition. Use pliers to attempt to get them out but that may not be necessary. Oftentimes, the key is easily pulled out with your fingers and the job is done! Once you get the key out you have to find your spare. Hopefully you remember where you put them that you figured you would remember in a time of emergency. If not, give 24/7 Emergency Locksmith a call!

Running Car

Locking your keys in the car may be frustrating, but think about locking your keys in the car when it is running. This is a waste of gas and could be potentially dangerous. You don’t want you car to be running while you search for your spare.

If you have this problem and need a quick fix, call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith. We are quick, convenient, and can have your problem solved in no time!

While losing your car keys or locking them in your car may add a damper to your day, these are not the worst things that can happen to your car keys. If you are in a rush to get to work and your keys have vanished, broken, or somehow made it in the car without you, give 24/7 Emergency Locksmith a call. We can help you get on your way in no time!

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.
