What To Do To Prevent Lockouts

 
Preventing lockouts is feasible, and if a lockout has ever happened to you or to someone you know, then of course you know it is stressful and you want this to be something that you can avoid. While we strongly recommend saving the phone number of a locksmith that is able to offer 24/7 emergency assistance – like our company (website]– there are other steps to avoid a lockout in the first place. 

Let’s go over some different scenarios that might take place… 
“I stepped outside to let the dog out, and my toddler locked the door behind me!” 
 “My key is jammed in the lock!” 
 “I am locked out of my car and the key is on the driver’s seat inside the vehicle!” 
“I forgot my keys for my office at home, but I commute more than an hour to get to work. I need help!” 
These are all scenarios that can happen to anyone. And of course no one wants to have to deal with any of these situations, because they can really cause a setback in the day. So, we will now discuss how to avoid car lockouts, office lockouts and home lockouts. Keep reading the information provided at our website to learn what to do! (website

Prevent auto lockouts. 

Car lockouts often happen because a motorist ends up locking their key inside the vehicle. This happens frequently when the battery for the transponder key has died, so the motorist is unlocking the door by hand and locking the door by hand when getting in and out of the vehicle. The problem occurs when the motorist steps out of the vehicle without realizing the keys are sitting in the ignition or on the car seat, and they press the lock button on the interior of the door then have an “oops” moment. How can you stop this from happening? We recommend getting into the habit of only closing the door once the key is in your hand. We also recommend having a mantra – saying to yourself, “grab the key, lock the door” will get you in the habit of ensuring you are holding your key. We also recommend changing the battery as soon as possible! One other tip is to have a copy of your key made if you do not already have a spare. Speaking of having a copy made… 

Share a Copy of Your Key With Someone You Trust 

This is a tip that would be effective in preventing all kinds of lockouts – automotive, commercial and residential. If you have someone you trust near you, whether that might be a family member who lives nearby, or even a neighbor – it is recommended that you give them a copy of your key. It is important to note that this is a good idea for more than one reason – not just to prevent a lockout. Not only would the person with your spare key be able to help you if a lockout were to occur, but in an emergency situation or other unexpected situation, they could access your property. Maybe you were on a day trip and your car broke down a couple hours away from home, and you have a dog at home waiting to be fed and taken outside. If a family member or friend has a spare key, then they can take care of this for you. Perhaps you are traveling and left your car at home because you took your partner’s vehicle, but suddenly a neighbor is calling to tell you that all cars have to be removed from the street by the morning due to construction. You panic because you live in a condo or townhome where everyone parks on the street, and you can’t get home fast enough to move the vehicle. This scenario would warrant calling for the help of a friend or family member nearby who has a copy of your key. 

Now, back to how to avoid lockouts!   

Avoid Home Lockouts By Using Keyless Systems 

Another way to avoid lockouts is to avoid having a key. How can you do this if you still want to lock up? You can have a keyless system installed. You don’t have to worry about a lockout if you get in to your property by using a code. Keyless entry systems not only can help to prevent lockouts, but you can share your code with people you trust to give them easy access to your property without creating a copy of a key. 

Have a Wall Mounted Garage Door Lock Installed 

Having a lock installed might seem counterintuitive when it comes to avoiding a lockout, but if you have a keypad next to your garage door installed, then at the very least, if you are locked out of the front door, you can get in through the garage. 

Keep a Copy of Your Key  

We mentioned sharing a spare key, but you should also consider keeping a copy of your key on you, too. Could one fit in your wallet? It probably could. Could a key be placed in a different pocket in your purse? You can even place a spare key somewhere that is concealed on your property.  

There are things to do to stop a future lockout from occurring, and we hope that you have found this information to be useful. A locksmith can offer helpful services, as they can help copy your key, or even install a keyless system. They can install brand new locks for you as well.  

We are a mobile locksmith company that knows you need to be able to get into your car, and of course your residential and commercial properties. You don’t want to ever get locked out. If you know what to do to prevent lockouts, then you can save yourself money, stress and time. It is always our recommendation that you call on a locksmith for lock and security assistance, to include help during a lockout!

Can Your Skin Really benefit from a Simple Spray of Hydrogen Water?

Molecular Hydrogen and Your Skin

It’s true that oral consumption of hydrogen water – and inhalation are the most common methods of accessing e benefits of hydrogen-rich water, but research is now revealing new and exciting ways to benefit. And one of these is using hydrogen water on our skin.

There are two ways to do this: One is a full bath in hydrogen-rich water. The other is a simple nanospray device that directs H2 water where you want it.

Research has, so far, concentrated on:

○  Skin conditions (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc)

○  Wound healing and burns

○  Aging and wrinkle formation

Inflammation: Skin Conditions

Common skin conditions (psoriasis, dermatitis, etc. ) are included in the general category of chronic inflammation. It means persistent, pathological inflammation, sometimes including an autoimmune component.

We’ve all heard of free radical damage to the skin, also known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). When our body – foe whatever reason, inflames, the result is the over-production of ROS . If you watch the cosmetic companies’ latest ads, you’ll see all manner of creams, lotions, sprays and foundations all claiming to reduce ROS.

Simply put….
chronic inflammation causes overproduction of free radicals, which in turn cause more inflammation, which means more free radicals, and so on.

In the last ten years we’ve seen 1400+ research studies demonstrating how molecular hydrogen works naturally to support the body’s own defences against free radicals (ROS).

Psoriasis

A nasty and chronic inflammatory skin condition. It can also be found as a form of arthritis (psoriatic arthritis).
The sufferer has large, scaly plaques, often itchy and/or painful. It’s not only irritating, but also socially problematic.

A Tough Ailment

Many of the pharmaceutical options for treatment come with unpleasant side effects. A good friend of mine has suffered this for years.

Now, however, there may be hope, not in yet another cream, tablet or lnimenti but in water. Yes, water.. infused with molecular hydrogen.

A study published last year in the journal Scientific Reports, medical researchers looked at whether or not hydrogen water could make a difference.

Involving 74 subjects, (half given topical hydrogen water; the other half was treated with regular water as a control). The subjects received topical hydrogen twice a week.

The concentration of hydrogen water was very, very low.. just on part per billion in the water.

After 8 weeks the hydrogen group saw substantial reductions in visible plaquing and symptoms compared to the control.

25% of the hydrogen group saw up to 75% improvement in symptoms vs. just  2.9% in the control group.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5966409/

We are not talking about a long period. Just 8 weeks of treatment
To get the same sort of result from the marketplace drugs and lotions can take up to 12 weeks, with side effects.

6 of the hydrogen subjects were able to get off their drugs altogether.

Body Mass Index also decreased in the patients receiving hydrogen therapy. The researchers were stumped as to why this happened, even though similar H2 studies showed the same effect.

Burns and Wounds

Research has also been quite intense in the area of the effects of molecular hydrogen on burns and wounds.

One study in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity examined how hydrogen water affectedoral wound healing in rats. In this case researchers used hydrogen water with a concentration of about 5-7 ppm.

We’ll let the pictures demonstrate what this looks like.

The left image One shows the initial injury. The centre image shows the control group which received no hydrogen after one week. The right image is the hydrogen treatment group after the same amount of time.

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4699099/

Differences in healing times between the two groups were obvious – and substantial.

Inflammatory chemicals and markers of oxidative stress were also significantly lower in the hydrogen group vs. the control.

Scientists concluded that these extraordinary changes were initiated by hydrogen’s role as a selective NRF2 activator, and for hydrogen’s unique ability ability to support our body’s own glutathione`s role in decrease of inflammatory cytokines and promotion of healing.

Hydrogen water also appears to have potential for helping to repair burn damage. As most people are aware, rapid response to burns is perhaps the most important factor in treatment.

Another study published in the journal Burns reported that hydrogen may alleviate inflammation and speed wound healing, even in cases of burns that received delayed treatment, (again due to activation of the NRF2 pathway).

This study supported the findings from another study that indicated hydrogen’s potential to prevent cellular apoptosis and reduce inflammation in severe burn models.

Finally, another pre-clinical trial published in the journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons freported that topical hydrogen prevents skin cell death during surgery involving large skin  incisions.

Skin: Aging and Wrinkles

Yes, we know it. Aging comes to us all, and perhaps genetics have already laid down our ‘karma’ to some degree.. making it, according to gerontologists, beyond fixing

This however, doesn’t mean that we can improve our genetically determined karma by caring for our skin, protecting it from UV, and helping out when we fail.

What does the science say?

In journal Plos One a study looking at human subjects reported that topical hydrogen mitigated UV induced redness and inflammation by over 20% compared to the control.

They also reported that hydrogen treatment prevented DNA damage AND stimulated collagen production.

Here’s what they said:
Molecular hydrogen “may prevent UV-induced skin inflammation and can modulate intrinsic skin aging and photoaging processes.”
This confirmed the findings from a large number of animal studies.

A smaller human trial found that 90 days of daily hydrogen baths significantly reduced wrinkles in 4 out of the 6 patients, while cellular analysis showed similar UV-protective effects, and promoted collagen formation.

It’s not just UV damage from the sun. Our skin also aged via our old friend, Reactive Oxygen Species as oxidative stress. If your skin is exposed to a harsh external environment for any extended period, skin cells experience some of the highest levels of oxidative stress in the body.

One study published in the journal Medical Gas Research reports their findings that hydrogen administered directly substantially lowered markers of oxidative stress in skin cells, and also prevented the formation of harmful chemical bonds that can accelerate the skin ageing process.

There’s more: A study looking at human subjects, published in the same journal, reported that hydrogen water:

○  Improved peripheral blood flow (reactive oxygen species cause red blood cells to gum together, clogging capillaries)

○  Improved skin moisture levels by 10%

○  Cleansed keratin plugs in skin pores 2 -5x as much as normal water (via inhibition of lipid peroxidation)

Concentration of hydrogen in this study was extremely low, about 1/10th of that produced by the Q-Mist spray system.
We’ve since learned that the higher the H2 concentration, the higher the effect.

More research is needed, but what is significant is that there are zero side effects reported in any of the studies. This is understandable because molecular hydrogen is so small that it easily passed into the body – and out again. It the unique ability to penetrate even the smallest human cee, and only ‘activates’ when it makes contact with a ROS, turning itself and the ROS into pure water.

Want to try it out?

Good things come in small packages.

Lock and Key Types

Exploring lock options will stand as proof that there are many different ones available. There are also many different key types to choose from. A locksmith can do their best to answer your questions about locks, keys and other locksmith services.  

But where do you even begin, if you are looking into having new locks installed? With all the options available, how do you choose? We are here to provide some information on lock and key types (locksmith Webster Groves). It is our hope that anyone reading this will find it to be helpful. 

Not only are there child-resistant locks for families that want to make sure their child does not run out the front door, or close an interior door on their finger, but there are handicapped-accessible locks, locks that can be accessed using your smartphone, and more. Likewise, there are many different types of keys.  

We will start with providing details on different types of keys. Keep reading! 

Key Types 

Four Sided key: What is a four sided key? This is a good key to have if you want better security. Why? Because it would be challenging to copy this key. If all sides are not working, then the lock cannot be opened.  

Double Sided key: A double sided key has two functional sides. It’s just another name for a four sided key!  

Tubular key: A tumbler key is one that works with a pin tumbler lock. You might see a tubular key being used for a storage facility. 

Transponder key: A transponder key is a key that is made specifically for a certain vehicle. Using the wrong key will mean being unable to access the car. Therefore, transponder keys add another layer of security and can stop a vehicle from being hotwired.  

Skeleton key: A skeleton key is a type of key that is able to unlock various different locks, so it would be useful for property managers, or buildings where a person needs to be able to open multiple doors. It is easier than carrying numerous keys.   

Perceptibly, there are many different kinds of keys available. Keys are made to help to prevent break ins and theft by securing items. They can be made quite difficult to duplicate which lessens the chances of someone copying a key to break in to a property. 

Now we will discuss some of the different types of locks. A lock is important because it ensures just a person with a key is able to open it. In some cases, more than one key can be used to open a lock. 

Types of Locks 

Just like with keys, there are many lock types available. From cam locks, knob locks, deadbolts, mortise locks, and lever handle locks, to padlocks, euro profile cylinders, wall mounted locks, and keyless locks, there is no shortage of options. A lock will be made to work with a specific key, and with many locks, when the right key is inserted, the spring loaded pins and notches on the key’s blade will move until they match up with a track and enable the cylinder to turn so a lock can then open. Now, here are just some examples of different kinds of locks… 

Cam lock: A cam lock has a metal plate and is a cylindrical lock.  

Deadbolt: A deadbolt can add a security layer and it is frequently used in combination with other security and lock features. When would a deadbolt be used? It could be used in single family homes, town homes, condos, apartments and more. There is even the option to go keyless with deadbolts. This will use a code to unlock a door rather than a key. This type of deadbolt can often be connected to an alarm system, too.

Knob lock: From Schlage to Kwikset, there are many brands that make knob locks. What is a knob lock? It is a lock that can be locked from the inside and outside. Instead of being located in the door, the lock cylinder can be found in the knob. 

Wall mounted lock: A wall mounted lock box might be seen outside a garage door, and enables a person to enter a code to get inside, in many cases. It can also use a combination code to get in, or it can use a key. There are even Bluetooth lock boxes. 

Child-Resistant lock: If you have a child in your home that is young and mobile, then you should certainly consider child-resistant locks. Once the child is tall enough to reach the door lock, or has figured out how to climb on something to get to the lock, it might be necessary to have child resistant locks installed. This can make it too challenging for a child to attempt to unlock a door, which could be a front door, a back door, or even a bi-fold door that they could accidently close on their finger!  

Mortise lock: A mortise lock goes on the body of the door. There are many mechanics working inside this type of lock.  

Padlocks: A padlock is a common type of lock that many have used before. A padlock is portable, and therefore might be used on a bike, locker, safe, or for other purposes.   

Now you can see that there are plentiful different lock and key types to choose from. No matter the type of property you have that needs to be locked – commercial, auto or residential – we hope our information has been helpful. If you want to upgrade locks, you have options (https://www.webstergroveslocksmith.com). If you want to replace locks, of course there are also options. A locksmith is a person that can be called when you want to have new locks installed. We are proficient in installing different kinds of locks and working with different keys – we are also proficient in copying keys, repairing locks, and many other locksmith services.
