Lehigh Valley Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips

From Emmaus to Easton, Halloween is coming to the Lehigh Valley and trick-or-treaters will be out and about throughout the towns. Here are a few tips to stay safe!

Since this time of year also coincides with earlier sunsets, it’s important to take a minute and remember to be cautious while driving this time of year.

Be sure to get some reflective tape for your child’s trick-or-treat bag or costume. It’s an easy way to be seen and won’t take away from the aesthetic.

Traveling in groups is smart. There’s safety in numbers, but remember to bring an adult.

When driving, be sure to come to a full and complete stop at all stop signs. I think it’s safe to say we’ve all rolled through a stop sign in our day. When kids see a stop sign, they expect cars to stop.

Be sure to balance some of that candy with some healthy snacks as well!

Be safe out there, Lehigh Valley

Don’t Be Scared of Being Locked Out on Halloween in the Lehigh Valley!

Halloween is almost here and that means there are about 100 different Trick-or-Treat times in the Lehigh Valley. From Hellertown to Allentown to Freemansburg and Easton, the Halloween season will be full of little ghouls and ghosts visiting homes in all of our neighborhoods.

We wanted to share some quick Halloween driving tips before all of the candy treasure hunts begin!

1. Use your headlights.
Fall in the Lehigh Valley means that sunset comes way sooner than a month ago. Put those lights on.

2. Don’t drive distracted.
Listen. We all have our phones in our cars. It’s time to learn how to use them responsibly. Don’t handle your phone while driving.

3. Turn the radio down.
A lot of people make fun of “turning the radio down to find an address” but it actually has a root in science. Our brains handle all of the stimuli it receives. So, if we turn down the radio, it allows us to focus!

4. Drive slower than the posted speed limit.
In residential areas especially. There is no reason to drive fast.

5. Don’t pass other cars stopped in the street.
If we see a car in the street, we’re inclined to drive around it. This time of year, it’s smart to take that maneuver a little bit slower.

6. Communicate with other drivers.
Put your road rage away for a month. Just do it.

7. Designate a sober driver or arrange a taxi if you’re celebrating with alcohol.
Or call an Uber or Lyft.

8. If you see a drunk or unsafe driver on the road, alert law enforcement.
Call the police. Don’t try to follow them.

9. Call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you get locked out

If you find yourself in a lock-out situation call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith at (484) 891-1922 for 24/7 lockout service within the Lehigh Valley.

The Lock That Can’t Be Picked? (VIDEO)

We realize we recently posted a video from the YouTube account, and one of our favorites “LockPickingLawyer”, but this was just too good to pass up.

Sometimes, some locks are just fascinating to see as they are broken down. Many times, this YouTuber has no problem getting around locks and their defenses in order to show their weaknesses. This time, however, he’s met his match.

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!

A Few Fun Locks on eBay

Believe it or not, we don’t mind looking at locks and learning more about them even though we deal with them throughout the work day.

Locks are fascinating to locksmiths and it’s always fun to share a little bit of what we find interesting with you.

We recently came across a treasure trove of fun old lock items on eBay that we’d like to share. Of course, we don’t endorse these items or suggest you purchase them, we just thought they were really cool!

Take a look.

A Lot of Skeleton Keys

You never know what you’re gonna get in one of these, but if the price is low, then they can be worth it.

A Lot of Small Padlocks

Just like the skeleton keys, never pay much for a lot of these types of items. They can be great for a variety of things beyond simply collecting, including art projects. Always worth a look.

What’s Old is New Again

Sometimes you can find some interesting old style locks that were recently made. Of course, these shouldn’t come at a premium and are fun accents to home decor or your collection of lock items.

Specific Replicas

Little more than souvenirs, these types of lock items are always fun. They are more fun if you can find them “in the wild” rather than purchasing them online, but maybe that’s just our opinion!

Weird Stuff

Every type of thing you can collect, whether it’s comic books or baseball cards, you’ll always have those odd items that you just might need to have only because it exists.

Whatever your collection, have fun with the next find!

Our first priority is safety. That goes for all of our team members. We want to get you out of a lockout situation, but we want to do it as safely as possible.

We also want our customers to be safe in situations where lockouts can occur, like in parking lots.

Here are a few tips to keep you safe!

  • Always note where you parked.
  • Avoid parking near shrubbery or the side of vans that has the slide open doors.
  • Be aware of your surroundings watching for suspicious people or activities.
  • Be cautious in parking garages — it is harder to see pedestrians.
  • Drivers of motorcycles and bicycles are to follow the same traffic rules as drivers of vehicle.
  • Keep the tank filled with sufficient gas and in good mechanical condition.
  • Keep your valuables locked in the trunk and out of sight.
  • Lock the doors and roll up windows once you are in the vehicle.
  • Park as close as you can to your building in a highly visible and well-lit area.
  • Reduce speeds in bad weather.
  • Slow Down! The speed limit in LSCS parking lots is 10 mph.
  • Returning to your vehicle:
  • Look inside your vehicle before entering.
  • Lock all doors and turn on your headlights.
  • Limit the amount of time you spend idle in the car.
