Pop-A-Lock
As the locking and latching systems turned more technologically sophisticated and new features like side-impact airbags were introduced in cars, the ex- law enforcement officers of Lafayette, Louisiana, felt it necessary to implement advanced tools and equipment into vehicles. Thus, the concept of Pop-a-Lock was born in 1991. The specialized vehicle door unlocking services offered by the organization took almost no time in gaining public acceptance and within a few years, Pop-a-Lock grew into one of the fastest developing franchises in the field of automotive services. The organization that began franchising in 1995, now successfully include a wide range of residential and commercial car-owners in its customer-base.
