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!

How to Warm Up Your Car More Quickly in the Lehigh Valley

Winter is about to hit the Lehigh Valley and that can make not only for some of the most beautiful sights anywhere, but also for some cold mornings.

Anyone who has ever had to make an early morning commute knows that one of the worst parts of the day is waiting for your car to warm up.

Thankfully, nearly all newer cars are more efficient than ever and warm up much quicker than cars even five years ago.

That being said, there are a few ways to speed up even the speediest heating system by doing just a few things.

Turn on just the ignition first

After about five seconds or so, you’ll hear the fuel pump priming the engine, meaning it’s ready to heat up. Now, you’re good to start the car.

Don’t Turn the heater on just yet

Your car isn’t going to be producing heat right off the bat, so you don’t want to start blasting cold air throughout the car. Drive for a few minutes without the fans on before turning them on to warm air.

Start with the Dash fans first

Open up the dash vents so that the first batch of warm air is pointed at your chest, allowing you to warm up quicker. After you feel a bit better, turn on the foot vents as well.

Of course, this won’t work for each and every car, but it’s a good routine that can help you beat those cold winter mornings in the Lehigh Valley.

We Unlock 5 Locksmith Myths

We know what you’re thinking, locksmithing is all glitz and glamor and crazy parties, right?

Well, okay, maybe you’re not thinking that, but there definitely are a few myths about locksmithing that we’d like to get straight.

Locksmiths Aren’t Like the Ones You See in the Movies

Picking a lock in a movie seems as simple as taking a bobby pin out of your hair and fiddling around with it in a front door for a few seconds. In reality, locksmiths are trained professionals who would rather rely on their own tool kits and make sure they are taking their time to open locks.

You Can Copy Keys that Say “Do Not Copy?

There really isn’t any sort of penalty for copying a key that says “Do Not Copy” on it. If you need to make a copy, go for it, just make sure that you’re following the rules of your lease or ask permission if you need to.

Locksmiths Keep Copies of Keys they reproduce

Nope. Not true. This isn’t something any reputable locksmith ever does.

You can handle it yourself

Look back at how locksmithing isn’t like it is in the movies. While it’s definitely a skill that you can learn, and there are kits out there to get you on your way, opening a lock without its key should be left to the professionals. Not only is it difficult, but you also run the risk of destroying your lock altogether.

You’ll have to wait until the morning

24/7 Emergency Locksmith is available, you guessed it, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Call us and we’re on site quickly: (484) 891-1922.

How Do You Know If Your Ignition Has Gone Bad?

Your ignition switch takes power from your battery and supplies it to many of the electronics throughout your car.

You can see why a faulty or dying ignition switch would be a pretty serious problem. No worries, though, 24/7 Emergency Locksmith solves 99% of ignition problems same day and same hour from being called. Our prices are far cheaper than dealerships and far faster than mechanics. When you are stuck, cannot or do not want to wait, call us for immediate help.

Here are some things to look for if you think your ignition is failing.

Your engine simply dies

Your engine can stall if worn switch contacts lose voltage. It’s a common symptom of a bad ignition switch.

Your engine wont’ start

If your ignition switch fails, it won’t be able to supply power to the starter motor or other controls. If these systems don’t get power, your car isn’t going to start.

Your lighting or accessories go off briefly

An ignition switch that is starting to fail can result in temporary loss of power to your car’s electronics. Flickering dashboard lights are a very good sign of this happening.

Trouble removing your key

If you’re having a hard time getting your key out of your ignition, your switch may be going bad. It’s time to give us a call: (484) 891-1922

10 Simple Fall Car Tips to Keep it Running in Top Shape

The fall isn’t as popular as the spring to get your car checked and ready, and that makes some sense. It’s much more exciting to get your car ready for a nice, warm spring and summer than the impending falling leaves and colder weather. That being said, it’s just as important to take a look at your car to make sure that when next spring and summer arrive, it’s as ready as ever.

Here are a few tips that should get you rolling.

Check the brakes and the tires

Colder and wetter weather can make stopping a chore. Make sure your brakes and tires are ready for the colder weather. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, get your car to your favorite mechanic and get that stuff ironed out.

Check the Lights

It gets darker a lot sooner in the fall and winter. While we may not spend a lot of time outside of our cars when the headlights are on, nows the time to do that. Make sure that both lights are operational and with the same level of brightness. Clean dirty headlight covers or replace your lights if needed.

Replace Your Wiper Blades

Have you ever had your wiper blades fail in a snowstorm or in cruddy weather? It’s the worst. Make sure you don’t have that happen by replacing your wiper blades if they are showing any wear. It’s not a bad idea to have an extra pair in your car, either.

Make Sure Your Heater and Defroster Work

Guess what you haven’t used in awhile, the heat in your car! Be sure that you check to make sure that it works after a long winter of using the air conditioning only.

Fluids, Oil, and Battery

Getting into a routine of checking out these items is great not only for fall, but throughout the year as well.

We hope you have a safe fall in the Lehigh Valley! Be sure to call us if you have any locksmith needs.
