Stay Safe in Lehigh Valley Parking Garages

Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown all have parking decks that take the hassle out of driving around trying to find street parking (most of the time.) And while they do provide a much easier place to park, they are still areas where you should stay vigilant.

Here are a few tips on parking safe in Lehigh Valley parking garages.

1. Remember Where you Park

This is easier now than ever with smartphones being so prevalent. Simply jot down where you parked in a note app or text to yourself, or better yet, take a picture of where you are to make sure you don’t waste time walking around the garage.

2. Pay Attention to Your Surroundings

Don’t text or check your phone as your own the way in or out of a parking garage. You want to make sure you not only remember where you park, but you also want to keep your eyes or ears open for things that may be going on around you, especially at night.

3. Keep Your Keys or Self Defense Device in Hand

While the odds of being attacked in a Lehigh Valley parking garage are statistically slim, you always want to be prepared. Carrying your keys in your hand not only allows you to access your car much easier, but it also gives you a weapon if you need one. This goes the same for any sort of self defense device you may carry with you, such as pepper spray. Those type of devices don’t do much if they are stuck at the bottom of your pocket or purse.

Be safe when you’re out no matter where you park and, as always, contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith if you encounter a lockout situation. We’ll get you back on the road quickly.

5 Ways to Stay Calm if You Locked Your Keys in Your Car

Getting locked out of your car can be an instant panic situation. This can be even more of an issue for those who are predispositioned to such panic attacks. It’s important to remember that, while the initial shock can be scary, you can not only get out of the situation quickly, but you can also calm yourself down.

1. Keep Our Phone Number Hand

Be sure to add 24/7 Emergency Locksmith’s number, (484) 891-1922, into your phone as a contact. This will make it so you’re already set up to call us and don’t have to use your phone to search for a local locksmith. If you’re in the Lehigh Valley area, we’ll come to you.

2. Slow Down and Breathe

Making a conscious effort to slow down your breathing will have an almost immediate effect on your whole body. Breathing more slowly will allow you to take stock in the situation at hand.

3. Tell Yourself to Take a Timeout

Much like slowing down your breathing, saying “Timeout” out loud can actually help you slow your brain down within a chaotic situation. Taking a timeout can give you pause to reevaluate the situation.

4. Look at what you can control

Your keys are locked in the car. You’ve already called 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, so that will be taken care of. Now, what else can you control? Be sure that you’re in a safe place. Be sure you’re on the lookout for the locksmith. Focus on things that you have control over and forget the things that you do not.

5. Smile

It may sound a bit hokey, but there is actual scientific evidence that suggests if you put on a happy face, or even just laugh at the ridiculous situation you got yourself into, it will help to calm you during a stressful time.

Remember, give us a call and we’ll help you get out of your lockout panic situation as quickly as possible!

Why Can’t You Open a Car Door if Someone is Locking it Explained

Courtesy jalopnik
Jalopnik recently posted an insanely interesting article about something we’ve all encountered in our lifetimes.

Have you ever tried to get into a car as someone is trying to unlock it? Have you then tried to open it again only to see that they are trying to unlock it again?

The website Jalopnik went into some pretty serious depth in a recent article explaining why this phenomenon occurs.

Take a look at a quick excerpt…

The most basic explanation possible is that pulling on the handle engages a little mechanical piece inside the door, a piece that bumps into another mechanical piece triggered by someone else trying to unlock the door. Alone, either one would do their job unimpeded. Do both at the same time and they block each other.

This sounds like it’s going to be really easy to understand, right? You have no idea how wrong you are.

Door locks and latches are absurdly, mind-hurtingly complicated. Just stick with us here, and you’ll see. SOURCE: Jalopnik

Go ahead and hit up their link for a VERY in-depth look at why this occurs. It’s something that locksmiths have a fun time reading.

And, as always, please contact 24/7 Emergency Locksmith in the Lehigh Valley any time you have a lockout situation at (484) 891-1922.

Where to Park During Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Musikfest is the most attended free music festival in the country and that means it can sometimes be a pain to get parking.

Thankfully, with a little bit of planning, you hopefully won’t have to drive around forever. Here are a few suggestions on where to park or what to look for before you venture down to Musikfest!

If You Drive All the Way In

If you decide to drive into downtown Bethlehem for Musikfest, you’ll want to look for some private lots first. Many private lots are owned by churches or local companies and are usually pretty safe spots as there are people there for most of the day. These usually cost anywhere from $5 to $20 for the day. You may want to try one of them first because the closer you get to downtown Bethlehem, the harder it can be to find parking.

If you must go into the heart of Musikfest, you may want to consider buying a new ParkPlatz Pass that allows you to park on Moravian College’s South Campus. These are sold on a first come first served basis and are ONLY available in advance.

If you don’t want to do that, you can take your chances with the Walnut Street and/or New Street parking garages. Be warned that getting a spot there will be tough and leaving can be tougher.

If You Don’t Drive All the Way In

Musikfest list numerous options for satellite parking for their shuttle bus service provided by TransBridge Bus Lines.

You can refer to their rather extensive list on their website and plan ahead!

Uber It Up

Last but not least, if you want to take Uber or Lyft, you’ll find more than a few drivers available at all hours of the day and night in and around Musikfest. Uber and Lyft can be life savers, but be sure to take precautions and always match up your driver with the driver listed on your app.

No matter how you get into Musikfest, we hope to see you there. Be safe!

And, as always, if you find yourself in a lockout situation, 24 Emergency Locksmith will be there day or night to help you out/

Can Wrapping Your Key Fob in Aluminum Foil Protect it From Thieves?

While it may not be prominent in the Lehigh Valley, there have been reports of thieves throughout the country using special technology to steal the signals from key fobs, giving them access to your vehicle.

Clarkcom recently published an experiment where they tested the effectiveness of using aluminum foil to protect a keyfob’s signal from being detected.

Team Clark wanted to see if it really works, so we wrapped one piece of aluminum foil around a key fob and tried to unlock a car from about 10 feet away — it didn’t unlock.

Next, we moved closer to the vehicle — about a foot away — and the car unlocked with the foil around the key.

After that, we added additional layers of aluminum foil around the key fob. That blocked the signal from a close distance. The car wouldn’t unlock until we began unwrapping the fob.

The bottom line: Foil really does seem to block the unwanted signals if you wrap your key fob thoroughly!

But is this really necessary? If you park in a secured area, perhaps the answer is no. But for those times when you’re leaving your car in an open parking lot, one of these signal-blocking solutions may give you peace of mind. Source: Clark.com

Is It Time to Replace Your Door Locks in the Lehigh Valley?

We all have a pretty good idea of when it’s time to change our oil or even replace our running shoes, but when is it a good time to replace our door locks?

Here are a few simple situations when it’s probably a good time to give 24/7 Emergency Locksmith a call at (484) 891-1922 to talk more with us about replacing your door locks.

Someone Moved Out

Whether or not it’s a good friend, the best roommate of all time, or even a long house guest, if someone had access to a key to your house for a period of time, it may be a good idea to replace those locks. By doing so, you’re not saying that the person who moved out was untrustworthy, it’s just smart to play it safe in these situations.

Visible Signs of Wear and Tear

If your locks show any visible signs of wear and tear, including rust, it’s time to have a professional look at them.

Any Time a Key is Lost or Stolen

Don’t gamble with your safety. If you lost your key, it’s time to replace your locks. In a digital age, it’s not that hard for someone to track down where you live if they are able to connect your key to you.

You’re Moving In

Unless your house literally had no one living in it before, there really is no way of knowing who has had access to your keys, who made copies, and who never turned their copies in.

You Had a Recent Break-in

This one may be the most obvious, but if you had someone break into your home, regardless of if they broke a lock or not, means it’s time for you to contact a locksmith to make your home safe again.

24/7 Emergency Locksmith is there when you need us!

Keep Your Parked Car Cool in the Lehigh Valley This Summer

The number one rule of leaving your car in the sun is to keep it locked, but not far behind are a few other tips to keep it cool for when you come back.

No one wants to get into their car and burn their hands on a hot steering wheel or wait for multiple minutes for the car to cool down.

Here are a few tips to keep your car cool this summer when you have to have it parked in the sun.

Park in a Shady Area
No brainer, right? Sometimes we don’t think about this though when we are looking for a place to park. Be sure to park somewhere cool if you can, it can make a world of difference.

Use a Windshield Visor
These seem to be more popular back in the 1990s for some reason, but windshield visors haven’t gone out of fashion. If you want to keep the inside of your car cool, these are a small investment to make that happen.

Keep your Possessions out of the Sun
Sure, you want to do this to deter thieves, but you also want to keep items like sunglasses out of plain view simply because they are going to get seriously hot and can even cause injury. This is especially true of any seat belt buckles or similar items that children may come in contact with.

Throw Blankets Over Your Seats and a towel over your steering wheel
Covering your steering wheel will save you some headache and covering your vinyl or leather seats with a blanket is going to make a world of difference for the backs of your thighs.

Park in a garage
Again, a no brainer, but if the option exists, especially in a downtown area like Bethlehem, Allentown, or Easton, take advantage of the shade!

Be sure to contact us at (484) 891-1922 for any lockout situation!
