Fall Driving Tips in the Lehigh Valley

Summer in the Lehigh Valley doesn’t seem like it wants to cool down, but fall is officially here and that does change things a bit when it comes to your driving habits.

We may not often take the time to think about it, but the changing of seasons should also coincide with with a change in how we approach the road. Let’s take a look at five tips that can help you as fall arrives.

Watch out for the Dark

According to the National Safety Council, while just 25 percent of our driving is at night, 50 percent of traffic deaths occur then. It also gets darker earlier during the fall.

Kids Are Out and About

This almost goes without saying, but kids will be walking home from school or the bus during the fall. That’s a big change from the summer, so be prepared to look out for them in crosswalks or pretty much anywhere else.

Oh, Deer

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers are 3.5 times more likely to hit an animal, especially a deer, during November than any other month of the year. Stay alert.

Slippery When Wet (and When Covered in Leaves)

Water doesn’t evaporate as quickly during the fall. Couple that with fallen leaves and roads, especially bridges, get much more slippery than usual. Be careful when breaking.

Get Your Car Checked Out

The fall is a great time to get your tires rotated, or just looked at in general. You will rely on them much more in the fall and winter months than in the spring and summer.

Park Safe, Lehigh Valley!

 

The Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton area has pretty safe parking garages and large lots, however, it’s always smart to be safe and to take a few tips with you along the way.

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.

How to Check The Tire Pressure on Your Car

It’s always a good idea to have a few car maintenance skills in your back pocket for when you need them. How to properly check your tire’s air pressure is a great way to maintain fuel mileage and to keep your car running efficiently.

Here are a few quick steps!

PURCHASE A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE OR USE ONE AT A GAS STATION.

Refer to your tire pressure gauge manual for proper operation. Most gas stations have air pumps. All you need to do to check your tire pressure is to remove the cap and place the gauge into the tire stem. If you’re using a gas station gauge, it is most likely a “pencil style” and the PSI will pop out. If you’re using a digital gauge, it will read out on the device. Don’t worry about the air that is coming out, just don’t hold it on there for too long.

COMPARE YOUR READINGS

Compare the reading to the number that is in your car’s owner manual first. Use the number on the sidewall second. The one in the manual will be more accurate.

TOP UP OR LET IT OUT

If your PSI number is above what is recommended, then let some air out until it matches up. Conversely, if you’re low, fill up until you reach the recommended PSI.

Drive safely and call (484) 891-1922 if you’re locked out!

How To Keep Your Car Cool in the Heat

The summer heat of the Lehigh Valley can make for some fun times on the Lehigh and Delaware rivers if your’e into tubing or kayaking, but not so much for the temperature of the inside of your car.

Here are a few ways to keep your car cool in the hottest of summer heat.

  1. Use a sunshade and dash cover: Your first line of defense against the sun is a sunshade/window visor. It will keep your car much cooler. A dash cover helps keep it from being hot to the touch. Put a shade in the back window for extra protection.
  2. Cover your steering wheel: Put a hand towel over your steering wheel. Hot vinyl surfaces are not your friend.
  3. Park in a shady area: We don’t mean a “shady” area, we mean one that has some shade. If you have your car in direct sunlight all day, window visor or not, it’s going to heat up much faster.
  4. Keep possessions out of the sun, and the car if possible: Anything that can melt, think about removing.
  5. Keep your windows cracked if possible: Please don’t keep your windows slightly cracked if you don’t feel comfortable doing so, but having that extra airflow will help to regular temperature.
  6. Purchase a fan: There are many options of internal solar powered fans that you can quickly install to keep air circulating when your car is unoccupied.

Times You Should Think About Replacing 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.

Don’t Leave a Spare Key Outside Your Door

How many times have you seen someone reach up to the top of the door jamb to find a “hidden” key? Or maybe they think it’s tricky to leave it under a flower pot on the front porch?

Surely no burglar would look under a rock!

We’re having a little fun here, but it’s true that many people are careless when it comes to hiding keys on their property. If you’ve though of a place to hide a key, so has a potential burglar.

Hiding your key near or around any door of your home is simply a bad idea since it can just be a matter of time before anyone were to find it or perhaps even stumble upon it.

Don’t do it.

What you can do is leave a spare key with someone you trust, like a neighbor or relative who lives nearby. It may be inconvenient, but it’s better than leaving a key out for someone to find.

Alternatively, you can also look into keyloss locks!

A Driving Tip Refresher, Lehigh Valley!

The past few months have been some of the most uncertain in most people’s memory. First and most importantly, we want everyone to be safe during this time, and that includes driving.

Many people haven’t been out on the roads as much as they are normally used to. So, here are a few tips to get you back on track as you head back on Route 22!

  1. Turn signals are a thing: Use those.
  2. Make sure you don’t tailgate: There’s no good reason to tailgate.
  3. Be nice: If you take that extra second to not get mad and flip the bird, it might inspire someone else to also be kind!
  4. Stop signs aren’t optional: We know, no one was on the road a month ago. But, people are back out!
  5. Don’t camp out in the left lane: That lane is for passing. Don’t be the person who needs to be passed by going slow in that lane.

Ok, so these are kind of fun. But, we’re serious about staying safe out there!

If you find yourself in a lockout situation call us at 484 891 1922!
