How to Protect Your Car from Being Broken Into from 24/7 Emergency Locksmith of the Lehigh Valley

24/7 Emergency Locksmith of the Lehigh Valley is there when you need us for any type of lockout situation. But, we’re also the type of company that doesn’t want to see you get into a bad situation, either.

Here are a few ways to keep your car safe from being broken into. Of course, if you need us, just call us at (484) 891-1922.

Remove Valuables from your Car

One of the most frequent reasons for thieves to target a car is the simple fact that they see something in the car through the window. Remove any sort of valuable item from your car before you leave it. If you have to leave any valuable items in your car, be sure to cover them up or put them in a space that is not visible.

Protect Your Car

Most modern cars already come with some sort of alarm system. Be sure to lock and/or alarm your car before you leave it.

Fake It

If you don’t have a car that has a security system, that’s no problem. Just get a sticker that says that you have one. Believe it or not, if your car has a sticker on it that says that is its protected by a security system, there are much higher odds that a thief will pass it over.

Tint Your Windows

Tinting your windows doesn’t just make you “cool” it also keeps people from seeing what is inside your vehicle. As long as you’re installing tint that is within your state’s code, go for it.

Park in a Well Lit Place

Let’s be honest, a thief is going to attempt to break into a car if it’s in a dark area much more frequently than if it’s in a well-lit one. Park your car in as well-lit of an area as you can.

Be sure to call us if you need help in a lockout situation at (484) 891-1922!

How to Prep You Car for Long Term Storage

There are a variety of reasons you may need to prep your car (or a car) for long term storage. Perhaps you’re going away for an extended period of time or your college age child is off to school for a semester and they won’t be using it. Whatever the reason, there are a few tips you can follow to make sure your car is safe during a longer than usual period of no use.

Firstly, let’s be sure that you keep the keys somewhere safe. While we will come out to help you any time you’re in a lock out situation, storing your keys in an easily accessible area is smart.

Cover it Up

Keeping your vehicle covered takes away a lot of headache if you need to leave it for awhile. Keeping it in a garage is ideal, but if you have to leave it outside, be sure to grab an all purpose cover.

Fill the Tank and Change the Oil

If you’re storing the car for longer than 30 days, be sure to top off the gas to keep moisture from accumulating, and change the oil. It will keep your car ready for you when it’s time to fire it up again.

Keep the Battery Charged

We all know that an unattended battery will slowly loose it’s charge. If you can start the car (or have someone doing it for you) for 15 minutes every two weeks, you can maintain the battery life and have it ready to go when you’re ready to use the car full-time again.

Maintain the Insurance

It might seem like a good time to cancel your car insurance if you don’t plan on using the car for awhile. However, there is a chance that your insurance company could raise your rates for the gap in coverage. Also, if you’re ever in a situation when you need to use the car unexpectedly, it’s good to have it covered.

Be sure to call us for you any of your lockout needs in the Lehigh Valley area (484) 891-1922!

The Hardest Cars to Break Into

While we’d never use our powers for evil, there are still people out there who make breaking into cars a habit.

Here are some of the cars that are the hardest to break into. If you own one and get locked out, though, don’t worry, we’ll get you back on the road in no time.

BMW and Mercedes

Both of these higher end cars use double locking mechanisms that make them pretty difficult to break in. Even if you break the window, you can’t open the door from the inside on many models. Play it safe and make sure you have spares available.

Honnda Accord

A Honda Accord? Yep. While these may not be BMWs or Mercedes, they do present a unique problem with their build. The space between the auto body and the door on these cars is very narrow, making it difficult to break into by trying to unlock the door.

Lexus

Maybe not surprisingly, Lexus cars are difficult to break into because the button in the door frame is designed to drop down quickly after it is lifted.

No matter what car you have, though, we’ll be able to help you out if you’re ever in a lockout situation. Be sure to save our number!

Prepare Yourself for Cold When Driving this Winter

With the Lehigh Valley experiencing quite the cold snap this winter, it’s always a good idea to go over what you need to do if you get caught stuck in the cold.

Check out our blog for other tips on winter driving as well.

For your car, you may want to consider checking these on your own or bringing your car into your mechanic to: Check fluids, winterize your car, change your tires, and considering a battery with a higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amps).

For inside your car, you want to make sure you have extra blankets, an ice scraper, extra clothing, lighting (flashlight or otherwise), extra clothing, and a basic first aid kit.

The age of cell phones has made the possibility of being stranded on the side of the road during the winter more rare than in the past, but the possibility of being involved in a traffic jam on a highway where the traffic is stopped for multiple hours is not unheard of.

As always, drive safe and contact us if you need any locksmith help in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania: (484) 891-1922.

Halloween Driving Tips

While many Lehigh Valley communities have already held their Trick-or-Treat nights, Halloween, the actual Halloween on October 31, is still a popular night for kids and teens to be out and about. These tips can keep you safe when driving on Halloween!

Be careful between 4 to 8 p.m. when most severe accidents and collisions happen.

Drive slowly and don’t pass stopped vehicles, they may be dropping off children.

There’s no reason to ever text and drive, but on a night where there are potentially many children out and about, it’s even more important to leave your cell phone at arm’s length.

Look out for children running into the street. They may be excited and not thinking of their own safety tips. Be vigilant.

Make sure you’re using your signals, especially if it’s you who is dropping off kids. Turning on your hazard lights lets other drivers know you’re not just sitting there.

And, if you’re out and about with children on Halloween, it’s a great time to start teaching them about road safety and show them how to properly cross the street.

Be safe out there and, if you need us, be sure to call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith at (484) 891-1922.

Four Tips for Taking Care of Your Keys

Our car and house keys are one of the most important things that we carry with us each day, but we may not give them the proper respect that they deserve.

Here are a few tips on how to properly take care of your keys and get the most out of them over the long haul.

1. Security

Car keys are one of the first things that a burglar will target in someone’s house. Do you have a safe place to store them that isn’t inside a basket or on a hook in the front door? It’s a good idea to keep them in the same place each and every night. Not only will it make it harder for you to forget them, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that they are safe.

2. Got a Spare?

Having a spare key is a great idea, and one that some people tend not to undertake. Have a spare key hidden somewhere on your property that isn’t under a flowerpot in your front yard. Also, it’s smart to give a spare key to a relative or loved one if you are locked out or if an emergency arises.

3. Take a Look

Keys may seem sturdy, and most are, but they can easily bend or break like anything that’s used on a daily basis. If you notice a bit of a bend on your keys or they aren’t turning like they used to, it’s time to give us a call.

4. Did We Mention Security?

Treat your keys like you do your wallet. Make sure that they aren’t visible when you go out and make sure that you keep them in a safe and secure place on your person. If you do know that your keys have been stolen or lost, we’re here for you. Contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith.
