Do You Remember the NES Game “Locksmith”?

Hey, as far as video games go, locksmithing may not be at the top of the professions that would normally have a game created around it. Sure, the act of picking locks is seen in so many games now that it’s become ubiquitous, which is always fun for us, but the hope of ever having a game ONLY about locksmithing is probably a pipe dream at this point.

With that in mind, it was pretty difficult to find a game about locksmithing that ever existed, but we were successful!

in 1991, Sachen released the game “Locksmith” which we have unfortunately never played. Luckily, through the magic of the internet, we were able to take a look at the gameplay and, well, we have to say that it was a little underwhelming.

The narrator in the video, which you can watch by clicking on the picture below, takes us through the life of a locksmith… in what looks like the olden days. We start out fighting some sort of officer and then make our way to figuring out puzzles to pick locks, which is actually kind of fun.

We don’t necessarily need to ever play this game, but it’s fun to know that it exists! Click the pic to watch.

How to Open Your High School Combination Lock

While we can’t physically help you get into your school locker, we can give you a few tips if you find yourself in a bind.

– Remember your combination. This seems pretty obvious because it is. Memorize it and keep that combination somewhere safe just in case you can’t find it, but don’t leave it anywhere someone else could get it from you!

– Spin the dial a few times to clear it out. You want to “reset” the lock before you go ahead and attempt your combination.

– Turn the dial on the lock to the right until you get to the first number. Then turn it to the left, pass the second number in your combination, then stop on it the second time around.

– Rotate the lock back to the right until you get to your third number and then pull firmly on the handle to open the lock.

– If it doesn’t open, don’t worry. Combination locks can be finicky, so you may have to try it again. If you DO find that you cannot get into your locker, be sure to let someone know so you’re 1. not late for class and 2. able to get what you need.

While we definitely wish we could help you out, we are confident that you’ll be able to open your locker by following these simple tips!

Why Can Key Fobs Be So Expensive?

Back in the day (ten years or so or more) getting a new key for your car wasn’t that big of a deal. Sure, it wasn’t much fun and you still had to contact your car dealer, but at least it wasn’t prohibitively expensive and wasn’t a huge pain in the rear end.

Nowadays, however, with key fobs that make our life easier, replacing one can be a much bigger pain in that rear end.

 

The automobile key fob sure makes life easier: You can lock your car from your bedroom and find it in a parking garage by activating flashing lights.

But if you lose or break your fob, you can’t replace it for a few bucks at the local hardware store, the way you can your old-fashioned house keys.

In all likelihood, replacing the fob will cost hundreds of dollars, maybe even more than $1,000, if you drive an expensive luxury vehicle.

That’s what Albert Pierce wanted to know. It cost him $347 to replace a broken fob to his 2013 Nissan Altima. He paid it grudgingly at the service department of Boch Nissan in Norwood, after what he told me was a “long, serious discussion” with one of the managers. SOURCE: Boston Globe

 

Thankfully, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith can take a few steps out of getting your new key fob made for you.

First of all, we can bring that key fob right to you and we can usually cut your new key right on site.

Broken Car Key in the Lehigh Valley? What Can You Do?

Yes, it is possible to break your car key. Just like the other parts of your car, your car key can become worn out over time and may eventually break. Your car key has the potential of breaking in the lock, the ignition, or breaking if you drop them on the hard pavement. While that last one is pretty unlikely, you never know! Car keys can break and applying too much pressure to them in the ignition may cause your older key to snap in half.

We’ve all been in a situation where a key has broken and the frustration is palpable. It’s not like you just misplaced them and have the chance of finding them again, your key is actually physically broken and there is no way for you to open your car or home. That’s the absolute worst!

If this ever does happen, contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith before doing anything else! We will be able to extract your car key from the lock or ignition, carefully as to not damage any inner workings of your vehicle. After we extract the broken key, we will be able to cut you a new key, right then and there, allowing you to carry on as though nothing has happened.

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…

Walking Across a Floor of Legos

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.

Missing Breakfast at McDonald’s Before they went to all day breakfast

Remember getting there at 10:35 a.m. and being told that they had switched to the lunch menu? Nooooo!

Getting Caught in a Traffic Jam on Interstate 78 after Work on a Friday

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.

Having a Huge Snow Storm on a Weekend

Really, weather? You couldn’t wait until Monday morning to deliver those 12 inches of snow?
