Do you want to keep your new, old, or “new-to-you” car safe and trouble free this fall season in the Lehigh Valley?

Good, because we’d like you to, as well.

Get ready for common sense 101!

Lock Your Car

Heading home or heading to Wawa? Lock it up!

Never Leave Your Keys in Your Car

Let’s be honest, you know someone who has left their car running and their keys in their car at Wawa. Don’t do that!

Take Your Valuables

Don’t leave your valuables, that new iPhone, in your car. Take it with you.

Park in Well-Lit Areas

No matter where you’re at, park in a well-lit area.

Be in touch with 24/7 Emergency Locksmith for your lockout needs!

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!

Like it or not, the end of summer is near and that means school will be back in session soon.

For many high school students throughout the Lehigh Valley, that means trips to and from school in their cars. While some may have been driving for a year or two, for many it is their first time driving to school on their own this year.

We wanted to give a few tips for teen drivers, even if they feel like seasoned drivers.

Turn the Cell Phone Off

If you don’t want to turn it off, keep it in your bag. Let’s just start out the school year with a steadfast rule that looking at your phone and driving isn’t just not a good idea, it’s also very dangerous. Don’t do it.

Turn on your Headlights

The days are going to get shorter and the mornings will be darker as the school year progresses. Turn your lights on in the morning and after school to make sure that other cars see you.

Obey The Speed Limit

Are you in that much of a rush to get to homeroom? But, seriously, obey the speed limit. There are a lot of cars on the road in the morning before school. There is no reason to drive dangerously.

Drive Alone

A teen driver with another teen in the car can double the risk of having an accident.

Take it Seriously

Driving is fun, but it’s also an activity that can be dangerous if not taken seriously. Understand the impact you can have on your life or someone else’s if you don’t drive safely.

Have a safe and happy school year!
