How Hard is it to Pick Handcuffs?

The movies make it seem like almost anyone with a bobby pin can pick their way out of a pair of handcuffs, but how hard is it actually?

The simple answer is that it’s a lot harder than it looks, however, there are many different resources that detail how to get yourself out using a paperclip or some other ordinary every day objects.

ITS put together a pretty comprehensive video showing how it can be accomplished.

“The current “swinging bow rachet – type” adjustable handcuff design dates back to 1912 when the Peerless Handcuff Company patented it. Even the “double lock,” that we’ll get into later in the article, came about shortly after this. First off, why are we still using relying on this deprecated technology to keep our officers safe? Why are law enforcement grade handcuffs readily available at nearly any surplus store, readily available to be used on someone during a home invasion? Lastly, why is this simple key design still being used?” SOURCE ITS

Watch their video below and, of course, only use this for recreation or entertainment use. We do not condone you trying to pick your way out of handcuffs that you probably belong in!

Five Lehigh Valley Winter Driving Rules

Dr

If you live in the Lehigh Valley, you already know that snowy and icy roads are simply a part of the winter season.

So, what are the best rules of driving in the snow in the Lehigh Valley? Let’s take a look.

1. Learn to do donuts in a parking lot

This is the time of year where many teenagers get to learn how to drive by heading out with their dad, mom, older brother, older sister, or friend by taking a trip to the closest parking lot covered in snow! Empty parking lots full of snow are simply the best place to learn how to drive on snow. You can always do sweet slides by using your e-brake as well!

2. Stay off Route 22 and Route 78

It’s snowing? Well, it’s time to not even think about taking Route 22 or Route 78. While you can be the best driver of all time, many other drivers are not. Many drivers drive too fast for snow conditions, continue to tailgate too closely, and many times end up in accidents that stop traffic. Take your time driving and find an alternative route if possible.

3. Shovel out your parking spot, but don’t expect to keep it

If you shovel out a parking spot on a public street, is that your spot for when you return? The ages old debate continues to this day. Many people in the Lehigh Valley shovel out their parking spot and put lawn chairs or some other small object in the spot to discourage anyone else from parking in that spot. This is technically illegal, but that doesn’t stop many people from doing it. If you decide to put a chair in your spot, expect it to be moved and don’t retaliate if it is!

4. Make Sure Your Car is Serviced

Now is the best time to get your car to your local service station to make sure that it’s ready for the winter weather. Don’t wait until you’re stuck on the side of the road.

5. Don’t Drive

Some days it just isn’t worth it to drive. No matter how important your job is, it’s not more important than the job of first responders who need roads to be clear of traffic if they need to help someone. If you don’t need to drive in the snow, don’t.

Be sure to contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for all of your lockout and locksmith needs!

Why You Should Always Lock Your Doors (And Who Doesn’t)

You might think that locking your home doors is something that most Americans simply just do without even thinking about. The statistics, however, don’t quite bear this out.

According to SafeHome.org, there are some areas of the country where only 54 percent of respondents to a survey said that they lock their doors every single time they leave their home. The Northwest and Northeast were the most trusting (see the graphic) with the South having more than 80 percent of respondents saying that they lock their doors each and every time that they leave their home.

Locking your doors should be routine, but we understand how easy it is to either forget to lock or to neglect to lock when you feel that you’re only going to be away from home for a short period of time. Lock simply can’t do their job if they aren’t properly locked and it’s important that you instill that thought in the minds of yourself and everyone who shares your home with you.

Thank you to SafeHome.org for providing the images below that give a little bit more of an insight into those who lock and don’t lock their doors!

Keep Your Lehigh Valley Home Safe During Halloween Season

Halloween is a ton of fun for adults and children alike. From Halloween parades, to trick-or-treat and trunk-or-treat events, to bags full of candy and fun costumes, it can be a favorite time of year for many.

However, it’s also a time of year when the sun starts going down a lot sooner than the summer months and has a history of mischief and shenanigans.

Here are a few steps to keep your house a bit more safe during the Halloween season in the Lehigh Valley:

Keep Your Lights On During Trick-or-Treat, But Not Totally Off After

You’ll want to keep your lights on if you plan to have trick-or-treaters and off after the event is over or you run out of candy. However, you want to make sure that you keep your motion lights on in case there are any other people still milling about who shouldn’t be!

Clean Up Debris Around Your House

The last thing you want is to have trick-or-treaters fall over debris or other items that you may have out and about leading up to your door. Be sure to clear your curb and keep it free of debris.

Use LED Lights in Your Jack-O-Lanterns

There really isn’t any reason to have an open flame in any of your jack-o-lanterns during Halloween when there are powerful LEDs that can do the job just as well and are way less dangerous!

Don’t Leave Candy Unattended

If you’re going to participate in trick-or-treating, then be sure that you’re actually participating. Leaving candy unattended is a good way for it to go missing quickly and for animals to get into it as well.

Make Sure You Lock Up

Having so many people around your property having a fun time may cause you to forget that you need to lock up like you normally do. Be sure that you follow your regular routine after everything is over!

Have a safe holiday season and be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you have any lock or lockout needs!

Lock Picks for Beginners (VIDEO)

We don’t encourage people to attempt to pick their own locks when we can do it 1. safer and 2. much more quickly. Besides, there is a serious chance you could damage the lock for good, and that’s never something you want to deal with.

That being said, it’s also always interesting to learn a little bit about how lock picks work and a few beginning methods for how you can get into a lock using a rudimentary lock pick kit.

Remember, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley area if you encounter yourself in a lockout situation. There’s still nothing wrong with learning more about locks!

Lehigh Valley Fall Car Checklist Items

The change of a season is always a good time time to do a few checkups on your car, and that’s not exception in the Lehigh Valley. In fact, since the Lehigh Valley is home to such a variety of weather throughout the year, it’s maybe as important as an area as anywhere else in which you should check your car out.

Here are some great tips from our friends at the Car Care Council:

Heating, Wipers & Lights

– Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly.
– Consider winter wiper blades and use cold-weather washer fluid. As a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every six months.
– Check to see that all exterior and interior lights work and headlights are properly aimed.

Tires & Brakes

– Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure of all tires, including the spare. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads.
– During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly.
– Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the vehicle’s most important safety item.

Gas, Oil & Filters

– Keep your gas tank at least half full throughout the cold weather to prevent moisture from forming in gas lines and possibly freezing.
– Be diligent about changing the oil and filter at recommended intervals. Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter
– Consider changing to “winter weight” oil if you live in a cold climate.
– Check the fuel, air and transmission filters at the same time.

System Checks – Charging, Cooling & Exhaust

– Have the battery and charging system checked, as cold weather is hard on batteries.
– Clean, flush and put new antifreeze in the cooling system. As a rule of thumb, this should be done every two years.
– Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather driving when windows are closed.

Pack the Essentials

– Make sure that your ice scraper and snow brush are accessible and ready to use.
– Stock an emergency kit with jumper cables, a flashlight, blankets, extra clothes, bottled water, nonperishable food and a first aid kit with any needed medication.
