Holiday Travel Safety Tips for Your Home in the Lehigh Valley
Yep, that’s Snow CamelMillions of Americans and thousands of Lehigh Valley residents will be traveling during the holiday season. And, of course, driving safely is one of the most important tips that someone can heed when out on the highway.
However, there are a few other things that you can do to protect yourself, family, and home when traveling this holiday season, even if it’s just to Scranton.
Put that Smart Home to Use
Having smart plugs and lights may seem silly to some, but they can come in incredibly handy when you and your family won’t be at home for a period of time. Put them on a schedule and check in with your phone to make sure they are on or off when you want them to be.
Use those cameras
Security cameras that you can access with your phone, and give you alerts when something comes into view, can be a lifesaver. Check in on them when you need to and review any alerts as they happen.
Don’t Post Too Much Online
If you’re not going to be at home for a few days, don’t post too many pictures or tag yourself as being out of town. That’s a perfect way to let people know that your home is unattended.
Get Help for your mail
This time of year is the busiest for mail carriers and package delivery services. Since you probably won’t be gone long enough to put a stop to your mail service via the USPS, ask a friend or neighbor if they can check to see if there are any packages or mail at your home and either to take it with them or put it in a safe space.
Don’t leave a key
Don’t leave a key outside if you’re going to be gone for awhile (and maybe not at all.) Give a key to a trusted neighbor or friend if you need them to get into your home while you’re gone.
Most importantly, have a fun and happy holiday season from all of us at 24/7 Emergency Locksmith!

Attending Lehigh vs. Lafayette? 24/7 Emergency Locksmith Will Be There For You
The longest uninterrupted annual rivalry football game in the nation is right here in the Lehigh Valley. Lehigh University and Lafayette College will go at it again on November 17, 2018 at 12:30 p.m. in Easton, PA.
As of 2017, “The Rivalry” has been played 153 times since 1884 with only a single interruption in 1896. The colleges’ football teams met twice annually (except 1891, when they played three games, and 1896, when they did not play at all) until 1901. The two institutions are located seventeen miles apart in the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania.
The annual game is celebrated throughout the Lehigh Valley with alumni coming home and students, of course, having a blast on both campuses. Bars and restaurants throughout the area usually experience an uptick from the influx of fans.
With all of this going on, it can be easy to either lose your keys or get involved in a lockout situation. We want to make sure that you’re prepared if this happens and 24/7 Emergency Locksmith is your go-to for when you, your friends, or family members experiences a lockout.
Be sure to save our number (484) 891-1922 and trust that we’ll be there in minutes if you need us!
Enjoy the game!

How to Warm Up Your Car More Quickly in the Lehigh Valley
Winter is about to hit the Lehigh Valley and that can make not only for some of the most beautiful sights anywhere, but also for some cold mornings.
Anyone who has ever had to make an early morning commute knows that one of the worst parts of the day is waiting for your car to warm up.
Thankfully, nearly all newer cars are more efficient than ever and warm up much quicker than cars even five years ago.
That being said, there are a few ways to speed up even the speediest heating system by doing just a few things.
Turn on just the ignition first
After about five seconds or so, you’ll hear the fuel pump priming the engine, meaning it’s ready to heat up. Now, you’re good to start the car.
Don’t Turn the heater on just yet
Your car isn’t going to be producing heat right off the bat, so you don’t want to start blasting cold air throughout the car. Drive for a few minutes without the fans on before turning them on to warm air.
Start with the Dash fans first
Open up the dash vents so that the first batch of warm air is pointed at your chest, allowing you to warm up quicker. After you feel a bit better, turn on the foot vents as well.
Of course, this won’t work for each and every car, but it’s a good routine that can help you beat those cold winter mornings in the Lehigh Valley.

We Unlock 5 Locksmith Myths
We know what you’re thinking, locksmithing is all glitz and glamor and crazy parties, right?
Well, okay, maybe you’re not thinking that, but there definitely are a few myths about locksmithing that we’d like to get straight.
Locksmiths Aren’t Like the Ones You See in the Movies
Picking a lock in a movie seems as simple as taking a bobby pin out of your hair and fiddling around with it in a front door for a few seconds. In reality, locksmiths are trained professionals who would rather rely on their own tool kits and make sure they are taking their time to open locks.
You Can Copy Keys that Say “Do Not Copy?
There really isn’t any sort of penalty for copying a key that says “Do Not Copy” on it. If you need to make a copy, go for it, just make sure that you’re following the rules of your lease or ask permission if you need to.
Locksmiths Keep Copies of Keys they reproduce
Nope. Not true. This isn’t something any reputable locksmith ever does.
You can handle it yourself
Look back at how locksmithing isn’t like it is in the movies. While it’s definitely a skill that you can learn, and there are kits out there to get you on your way, opening a lock without its key should be left to the professionals. Not only is it difficult, but you also run the risk of destroying your lock altogether.
You’ll have to wait until the morning
24/7 Emergency Locksmith is available, you guessed it, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Call us and we’re on site quickly: (484) 891-1922.

How to Open a Frozen Car Door in the Lehigh Valley
A frozen car door can absolutely ruin a morning commute. There’s nothing worse than being all ready to head out to work, school, or a road trip only to realize you’re going to spend some time getting your car door open.
Here are some tips that can help you out in a frozen door situation.
Think ahead
Stick a towel or rag between the car door and door frame just above the window. When you go to open your door in the morning, you’ll have something to hold onto and pull from. This can prevent you from breaking the car door handle.
What if I didn’t think ahead?
We’d be silly to think that everyone would think ahead that far, so coming out to find a frozen car door without having a towel stuck in it is a reality. First, spray along the seams of the car door with some windshield de-icer, which is basically two thirds rubbing alcohol and one thirds water. This can help to jiggle the door free.
Use a hair dryer
A hairy dryer? Seriously. Yes. We’re very serious. Use an extension cord if you need to, but spraying along the seams of the door with a hair dryer on full blast is going to do wonders for your stuck door situation. Just don’t be surprised if a neighbor puts your picture on Facebook.
If you get super stuck and you still need help, know that you can always contact us at (484) 891-1922 for any lock out situation.
