Pop-A-Lock Cares

Pop-A-Lock’s Emergency Door Unlocking (EDU) program saves the lives of children locked in vehicles every day and has successfully rescued more than 175,000 children since its start in 1991. Provided nationwide in the cities Pop-A-Lock serves, the EDU program offers free car door unlocking when a child is locked in a vehicle or a human life is in danger. Hot or cold temperatures can be devastating inside a locked car, and Pop-A-Lock is committed to keeping children safe and preventing accidents from becoming tragedies.

The company receives countless letters of thanks every day from customers who have benefited from the EDU program. They speak of Pop-A-Lock’s success and the need for this service in communities across the nation. In many cities throughout the United States, numerous broadcasting stations proudly make Pop-A-Lock a continuous part of their community service announcements, as well as sponsors of this valuable program.

Mother of a three year old, Tiffany Mack, relates her experience: “ I banged on the door, windows and roof trying to get her to awaken and try to unlock the door, to no avail,” she says about her daughter asleep in the back of her truck in the parking lot of a summer camp. “Several other mothers suggested I call the cops, but I felt so guilty taking time away from the officers for my mistake. The director of the camp came outside to see what was going on and told me to call Pop-A-Lock. I am so glad I did.”

Mack says a Pop-A-Lock technician was on the scene in about five minutes and had her car door unlocked within two minutes. “The best part of this horrible event was that when he was finished he didn’t hand me a bill,” she says. “The service was totally free. I wanted to give him a big hug… I received excellent customer service, a fast response time and a friendly technician for FREE.”

Janet Sallee, mother of seven month old twins, talks about her experience with Pop-A-Lock after she locked her children in her van: “Of course a mom is ready to spend anything and I was shocked when Lee (the technician) said it is free if kids are involved. What a fantastic service. You are going above and beyond.”
At a time when most companies are trying to increase profit margins and forgetting about customer service, Pop-A-Lock is here for you to depend on. When you’re having a bad day, Pop-A-Lock wants to make it better without charging you.
