Jennifer B. of New Orleans had set her purse down on the passenger seat to move the baby from car seat to stroller. Her partner, intending to be helpful, closed the locked door without realizing that her keys were inside. Not to worry; she called Pop-A-Lock of New Orleans and got a quote and a time estimate that gave her just enough time to run the errand she'd set out to do.
Duplicating car keys just isn't as straightforward as it used to be. With transponder keys, keyless entry remotes, laser cut keys, and other high security keys, your car is safer from thieves than ever. However, if you lose your key, you can expect to pay a hefty replacement fee at the dealership. If you're locked out, they'll have to tow the car, and then you'll end up paying for the tow on top of all the other charges.
Remote keys, which became widespread in the late 80s and early 90s, allow you to lock or unlock your car doors remotely through a radio chip located in the key fob. You might not have thought twice about your key fob until you lost or broke it and called your dealer to see how much a replacement would cost.
When Chris L. of New Orleans misplaced his regular car key, he pulled out a spare that he had cut at the hardware store but never tried using. To his surprise, his Honda Accord refused to start when he put the spare in the ignition. As it turns out, his original key was a transponder key with a special chip inside the head that sent a signal to the ignition.
We can't magically find your lost keys for you, but if you're locked out of the house in New Orleans, we can come out to you in as little as fifteen minutes, open your door, and make you a new set of keys. Getting locked out used to mean one of two things: waiting around for your spouse, friend, or neighbor with a spare to find the time to drop by - or, alternately, waiting for a locksmith to show up within a one or two hour arrival window.

My daughter's Jeep Wrangler got a flat tire. I called Road Side Assistance and they sent this useless company. 40-70 minute wait and a no show. I called RSA back and they told me that this company cancelled because the Jeep was to large of a vehicle. It's just a regular factory spec Wrangler.
Call anybody else!!

Pop-A-Lock saves the day! You know those jerks who leave their dogs in the car on a hot summer day? Well today I accidentally became one of them. I was getting gas on my way home and as soon as I put the lid back on my gas tank I realized I was locked out and they keys were inside my truck with my puppy and wilting groceries in the back seat. I called triple A and waited and waited with no luck. The gas station attendant suggested I call pop-a-lock. Paul showed up about 20 mins after I called and within seconds he had the door unlocked and everything was fine. Can't thank pop-a-lock enough

I called pop a lock to remove a closet door knob and replace it with one I bought at Home Depot, and tighten my front door knob which was loose. The New Orleans area guy who called me - I believe his name was PJ - was rude, argumentative, yelling at me, talking over me, contemptuous, belligerent - I can't believe this company has someone like this working for them. There is no way I would let this angry and obviously mentally unstable person set foot on my property, much less come into my house.

Horrible experience with this company. paid $300 to get a lock fixed only to have it stop working 10 short days later. Called their customer service and asked if they warrantied their work and got the run around. Finally got someone to say they would come back out to fix their work and they never showed up.
Use another company. This company overcharges, does poor work and doesn't stand behind their work
