Company History

A Company Born from a Desire to Protect

Helping our customers and the community at large stay secure is a sentiment that has been close to the heart of the company since its founding in 1991. The original company was founded in Lafayette, Louisiana by a couple of members of the local law enforcement who realized the value of a good lock for security, and also that there were times when being able to quickly and effectively open a door could save someone’s life. They decided to create Pop-A-Lock, a mobile locksmithing service that could provide skilled and certified individuals who could open or replace locks depending on the current need.
Now, over 30 years later, what started out as a small company has spread across the nation and franchises can be found in 39 out of the 50 states.
