Our friends at Fred Beans have given us a little bit of insight into the world of window tint in Pennsylvania.
Be sure to check their site out here and check out their info below!
Window Tint Darkness: Window Tinting Laws in Pennsylvania
Your visible light transmission, or VLT, is the percentage of light allowed through your window glass in Pennsylvania. It differs for vans, sedans, and SUVs, so be sure you’re looking at the appropriate VLT for your vehicle.
Sedans: The front side windows, rear side windows, and rear window must allow over 70% of light into the vehicle. The windshield must also allow over 70% of light in, with the exception of the top three inches.
SUVs and vans: The front side windows must allow over 70% of light in. The front side, rear side, and rear window can be tinted to any darkness level. The windshield must also allow 70% of light in, with the exception of the top three inches.
Window Tint Reflection
One purpose of window tint is to reflect light, which helps reduce heat and glare inside the vehicle. Pennsylvania law allows a certain level of reflection with a tint, depending on the vehicle type.
Sedans: The front side windows and rear side windows can’t have any mirrored or metallic tint.
SUVs and vans: The front side windows and rear side windows can’t have any mirror or metallic tint.
Additional Pennsylvania Window Tint Laws
There are a few additional considerations when you plan to tint your vehicle’s windows and want to stay legal in Pennsylvania. These laws and regulations include:
Side mirrors, if the rear window is tinted.
A sticker to acknowledge legal window tinting.
No requirement for film manufacturers to sell film.
No color exclusions for window tint.
Medical exemptions for special medical circumstances that require a special window tint.
These laws and regulations are for the state of Pennsylvania, but individual counties or localities may have different regulations. Before tinting your vehicle’s windows, be sure to check the current laws through your local Department of Motor Vehicles or law enforcement agency.

Traveling can already be stressful enough without having to worry about what is going on at home. Between the plane tickets or the directions and between the carry on items or the bathroom stops on the Jersey Turnpike, traveling can take its toll on our stress levels.
But, what about when you get to your destination and all you can think about is whether or not you locked the house and if you remembered to keep that back porch light on.
Thankfully, in this age of technology, and with a few small other tips, you can keep your home safe while you’re traveling the globe or just down to the shore.
Ask Someone To Look Out For You
Whether it’s a neighbor or a friend, having someone swing by your place is helpful because they can make it look more “lived-in” and can also bring in mail that may be a sign no one is home. A visitor can also make sure to check around the property for you to keep things in line or to notice any trouble.
Home security cameras are so inexpensive these days that they make for a fantastic investment when it comes to home safety. You can check many of them from your phone and most will give alerts if they detect something amiss.
It may be tempting to leave that back porch door open for your mother-in-law to come in and check on the cat, but it’s just simply not a good idea to keep anything open while you’re away.
Smart home devices have come a long way and while setting up light timers isn’t a new concept, technology has made it as simple as possible. From a smart home app connected to your smart home lights, you can set a schedule for them or simply turn them off and on from your phone anywhere there’s cell reception.
Leaving a key under a rock or on top of your door is a cliche, so why do so many of us still do it? Don’t leave a spare key out where someone you don’t want to can find it. Give the spare key to someone you trust.
Social media posting is a personal preference, but you may want to curb some of it in real-time if you want to make sure no one knows that you’re not at home. That’s up to you!
Bottom line, as long as you leave your home with someone you trust who can take a look around every so often and bring in your mail, etc., you’re at a much lower risk of having something happen to your property while you’re away. Have a safe and fun vacation this summer!

If you’ve ever locked yourself out of your car, whether it’s before work or just before you need to get somewhere in general, it’s one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s so bad, in fact, that we thought there couldn’t be more than a few things that could actually be worse.
Here they are…
Sure, it may depend on the length of the floor, but making your way across a floor covered in Legos may just be worse than getting locked out of your car.
Remember getting there at 10:35 a.m. and being told that they had switched to the lunch menu? Nooooo!
Sometimes, getting stuck in a traffic jam isn’t the worst thing, especially if you have your favorite podcast or Spotify playlist cued up. However, if you’re heading home for the weekend and you’re stuck in what seems like an endless gridlock, that’s just no fun.
Really, weather? You couldn’t wait until Monday morning to deliver those 12 inches of snow?
Sure, getting locked out of your car isn’t fun, but getting locked out of your house or apartment is worse. At least if you can’t get into your car you can hang out inside for 24/7 Emergency Locksmith to come help you out!
If you find yourself in a lockout situation, be sure to reach out to us and we’ll get you out of a jam in a jiffy: (484) 891-1922.

New Year’s resolutions can sometimes be forgotten about before you hit the second weekend of the year. It’s okay, it happens to everyone.
But since you’re already going to set a few resolutions about perhaps eating better or going to the gym more, then why not add a few resolutions that may make your life a little less complicated.
Here are a few lock and key resolutions for you to keep this year!
Ever wake up on a Monday morning and not be able to find your keys? Not only is it Monday, but you’re already running late. Make a resolution to keep your keys in the spot every time you come home. Perhaps set up a shelf or other area where you can drop or hand your keys as soon as you walk through the door.
Getting locked out of your house or car can be alleviated by giving a key to someone you trust. If you lose a key, all you have to do is phone a friend. Just don’t lose your phone.
If you want to make sure you don’t leave your keys at a friend’s house or while you’re out and about, make it a point to never place your keys anywhere other than your pockets or bag. You don’t want to leave them just anywhere.
There are many safe areas where you might not feel that you need to lock your car doors. Unfortunately, you do. You always need to. If you don’t lock your car doors, expect someone to find them open.
If you ever find yourself in a lockout situation and no one has a key to help you out, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is your go-to call anywhere in the Lehigh Valley. Please add (484) 891-1922 to your phone and never be left out in the cold.
Have a safe and happy new year!

Hey, we love car mods as much as the next guy. But, you have to be sure that you’re still playing within the laws of your state when modding your vehicle. It’s not a matter of if you’ll be pulled over and expected to remove the mods and pay a fine, but more of a matter of when.
Here are a few mods that are more than likely to get you into some hot water.
There aren’t any real good reasons to have a license plate cover other than to make sure that people can’t read your license plate. That’s not going to go over well with the local PD.
The level of window tint that is allowed by law is always something people have debate over, but a cop will pretty much let you know right away if it’s too much. Err on the side of caution when it comes to tinting your windows and make sure you’re playing within the rules.
While not necessarily a “mod” as much as some of the others, radar detectors are a big “no no” when it comes to keeping one in your car. Be careful.
Not everyone wants to hear your latest mixtape, especially if they are two blocks away. Police won’t hesitate to shut down your system if it’s way too loud.
You don’t see these all too often and that’s because they simply aren’t legal. If you have one on your vehicle, it has to be covered when on the roads. A light bar can come in handy if you’re someone who uses their vehicle off local official roads, but for any sort of local use, they are just a no go.
Be safe out there on the roads and contact us if you have any lock situations!
