Ways to Avoid Locksmith Scams in the Lehigh Valley

We understand that not many people have a locksmith on speed dial. Is speed dial even a thing anymore?

Anyway, we know that people usually turn to a locksmith in a time of need and, sometimes, desperation. In those moments, it’s easier for a company to potentially take advantage of a consumer. Before you call a locksmith, here are a few tips.

  1. Check their reviews: It’s easier than ever to check a company’s reviews to see what the community feels about them. Give your locksmith a quick Google search before you give them a call!
  2. Get a cost estimate: Know what you’re dealing with before the locksmith arrives.
  3. Watch out for price fluctuations: If the locksmith gets to you and the price is suddenly different than it was quoted on the phone, it’s time to call a different locksmith. Don’t let them do the work.
  4. Don’t let them drill the lock right away: If a locksmith insists on drilling your home lock right away, be wary. Experienced locksmiths will go through multiple attempts before drilling a lock.

Those are a just a few tips. Go with your gut and call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you are in a bind!

Unfreeze Your Car Door

Yep, it’s that time of year again, when we get to talk about it getting cold. No one wants to think about it and there aren’t many people looking forward to it, but the cold comes to the Lehigh Valley every year no matter what.

Between shoveling and putting on snow tires and keeping our sidewalks clear of ice, we may not also be thinking about how to unlock frozen car doors or keep them unfrozen.

Here are a few steps.

  1. Don’t let it get frozen in the first place. Obviously, if you have a garage, a frozen car door should normally be something you don’t have to worry about. But, you can also get car covers to protect your car a bit more from the elements and, in some cases, prevent car door freezing.
  2. Use an ice scraper to get the worst of the ice off the lock. Be sure to make sure that your problem isn’t just a frozen car door handle, which can be fixed with use this step.
  3. Pour on some lukewarm water over the frozen lock and door frame. Don’t use hot water or you could break your windshield or other window due to the temperature difference.
  4. If you can get a hair dryer out to your car door, that’s a very viable option for unfreezing it.
  5. Get some lock de-icer. If you find yourself in this situation more than a few times during the winter months, you may want to look into one of the variety of de-icing products that can be found at most auto and big box stores.

Stay warm out there and be sure to call us if you find yourself in any lockout situation: (484) 891-1922.

Since 1988 Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) has been hosting the Celtic Classic Highland Games and Festival in Bethlehem each September. This internationally known celebration of all things Celtic has been the foundation upon which CCA has been built.

The goal of this dedicated group was to create an event that symbolized the Celtic spirit and history, and to provide the impetus for an organization that focused on promoting the Celtic culture.

The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of “Next Generation”, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These scholarships are offered to students including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.

Watch This Lockpick Breeze Through Amazon Fingerprint Gun Safe

We’ve posted videos by YouTube user LockPickingLawyer a few times on our blog before. And, to be honest, I could see us adding more from him in the future.

What makes his videos special are the time he takes to explain the mechanisms of each lock he features. Sometimes, the workarounds he finds aren’t any that you would find in a lock picking manual, especially this one.

Take a look at how quickly he breezes through this fingerprint lock gun safe. Make sure to research any safes you buy as much as you can!

Fall Driving Tips for the Lehigh Valley

The Lehigh Valley gets all four seasons and each one has its own challenges when it comes to driving. The summer has a lot of traffic, the winter has snow and sleet, the spring isn’t so bad, but the fall can be tricky.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when it comes to driving as the weather goes from hot to cool to cold.

Watch out for Leaves

Leaves in the Lehigh Valley are beautiful but they can be slippery. Try to avoid braking on leaves and drive slowly through them. Leaves may also obscure any markings below them, so be extra vigilant.

Fog and Rain

As the weather gets colder, fog becomes more of a reality and rain can be a bit more tricky. Be more cognizant of the weather now that fall is approaching and drive accordingly, giving yourself extra time to stop and an adequate distance between cars in front of you.

Bridges Get Slick, Especially in the Morning

Your morning commute can get a bit more slippery if it goes over a bridge, especially a smaller one. Bridges get cold first, which can lead to slick conditions even when roads are completely fine. Be careful and don’t enter a bridge at an angle if possible.

Check Your Tire Pressure

New season, new reason to check your tire pressure and make sure it’s within the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Headlights

You may not have even needed to use them during the summer, but now that the fall is creeping in, days are getting shorter. Make sure your headlights are up to par this fall season.

Children

And, of course, remember that school is back in session. Be smart!
