Pop-A-Lock ® was founded by former law enforcement officers in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1991. They recognized the need for a car door unlocking service while they had provided this free community service through the Sheriff's office. The increasing technological sophistication of vehicle locking and latching systems, combined with the introduction of new features such as electric controls and side-impact airbags, meant that the old solutions to being locked out-including "Slim Jims" and coat hangers-were no longer adequate or, worse, were likely to damage the vehicle. Pop-A-Lock introduced specialized tools, extensive technician training, and exhaustive vehicle research as the solution. This specialized service was quickly accepted by the public and by May of 1993 had expanded to Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

As Pop-A-Lock continued to grow into the largest and fastest growing car door unlocking franchise in the country the company expanded during the mid-90's to provide Full Mobile Locksmith Service to commercial, residential and automotive customers. Today Pop-A-Lock is now the largest full-service locksmith and car door unlocking service in the United States.

Because Pop-A-Lock was originally started by law enforcement officers, they were aware of the traumatic and dangerous cases where infants and small children are locked in vehicles. As a result, the Emergency Door Unlocking Program, or EDU, was created as a free service to the communities we serve. Nationwide, Pop-A-Lock rescues hundreds of children each and every day!
