Couple Very happy we rescued their child
We rescued another child from a locked car yesterday. They both got out of the car when they pulled up to their home and closed the front door and then realized all the doors were locked with their child locked in the car.
They heard about Pop-A-Locks Emergency Car Door Unlocking (EDU) and call us right away. We were there in 15 minutes and had him out in less than a minute. Below is a photo of the happy family.
This is the 5th EDU we have done this month.

Past customer calls us for EDU
Jenna was just finishing putting her grocery bags in the back of her explorer when her keys fell out of her purse and landed on the edge of the back hatch. When she closed the hatch it hit her key fob and locked the doors. Unfortunately her baby was just put in the car seat right before she put the grocery away and now was locked inside the car too.
Jenna knew what to do instantly, she called Pop-A-Lock. Pop-A-Locked helped her a few months back when she locked the keys in her car at a restaurant and she remembered that they talked about a free service when children are locked inside. She had our number in her cell phone and called us immediately to see if we could help. We dispatch a Tech who was there in 12 minutes and got Jenna car open in less than a minute.
We unlock 10 - 12 cars free of charge every month because children or pets are locked inside. We have unlocked over 400 vehicles since we opened in June of 2007, this totals over $18,000 of service donated to the Twin Cities community in 4 years.
We love the Twin Cities and we love serving the community, so please let everyone know about Pop-A-Lock. Have them put our number in their phones. 612-331-3093

Another child saved!
We had another opportunity to serve the community last Thursday by unlocking a car with a disabled Child locked inside at 3900 West River Parkway in Minneapolis. The mother just put the child in the car seat at the Dowling Elementary school. Once she shut the side door she was in a panic when she realized the car was locked and her disabled child was strapped into the car. She went into the school office and had them call the fire department. It was not easy because she did not speak good English and they had to find the interpreter. The fire truck arrived at the location quickly but they were having some problems getting the car unlocked. They had the police there and a lot of parents also were watching. One of the parents suggested Pop-A-Lock. The Fire Fighter suggested that the office assistant go in a give us a call.
We were there in 15 minutes and had the car open in less than a minute. The mother and school were very grateful that we were able to help and could not believe that the service was free. Below is a photo of the mother and the car the child was locked in.
It is such a great feeling to help people out when they are in need.
Please let people in the Twin Cities know about us.

Are your locks Cheaper than Menards?
I had a customer call asking if they could buy locks from me cheaper than Menard's the other day. I told the customer that with all due respect I think they are asking the wrong question. The question should be do you sell locks that are more durable and have better security? The fact is your first concern should be will the lock help prevent someone from breaking into my house and then how long will it last. When you think about it, even a cheap lock will last you a few years before it wears out, but the security and the finish durability of the lock will not be as good as a grade two lock.
A excellent grade 2 lock can and should last for decades but the real advantage is the extra security it can provide for you and your family.
Here's an example:
Lets say you pick up a lock at a store and it is $30 and then let's say you buy a good grade two lock from your Locksmith that cost $60. By definition of the lock grades, a grade two lock should last about twice as long as a grade three. In other words. Over ten years you could go through two grade three locks for every grade two lock you have. Your actual out of pockett cost for your locks are exactly the same. The big difference is the security of your home will be much better with a grade two lock and a reinforced strike plate.
The moral of the story is Price should not be the first consideration when you buy locks. Security and grade should be the biggest factors.

Are you looking for that Motorcycle key you put away last winter?
For some reason a lot of people in Minnesota have motorcycles. I love motorcycles but find that the short season can be a little frustrating. Around this time of year those of us who have a motorcycle start the process of taking out of storage and getting ready for the first weekend ride.
The first question that most of us have is "where did I put the key to the bike"
The answer for some of you after searching for a week to find it is I don't have a clue of where my motorcycle key is.
Not to worry because at Pop-A-Lock we can make almost any motorcycle key, even the classic bikes that go back 30 plus years.
Give us a call and we can quot you a price and usually can be out that day or the next to have you on your machine before the great weekend begins.
Remember to call Pop-A-Lock @ 612-331-3093 and we will have you cruising in no time.

How do your locks Grade?
You’re looking to change the locks on your house because they are starting to stick and or you are concerned that they may be easy to bypass. You are wonder how to know if a lock is good?
There is a simple method to help you determine the durability of a lock along with the potential for it to be forced open. Locks come with grades assigned to them. These grades are established by Builder's Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). BHMA/ANSI Standard A156.2 outlines grading requirements for cylindrical and bored locks, while A156.13 covers mortise locksets.
Locks are graded from grade 1 to grade 3, grade 1 is the highest quality and grade 3 is the lowest quality. There are three main components that locks are tested for, Strength, Operation, and Finish durability.
Grade 1 locks are manufactured to out perform and out last grade 2 and 3 locks in all measurable test.
Cycles:A grade one lock is rated for 800,000 cycles, which means that it can lock and unlock over 800,000 times and still be able to perform normal operation.
A grade 2 lock is rated for at least 400,000 cycles and a grade three lock is rated for at least 200,000
Strength:Grade 1 locks are tested to withstand 300lbs of force per square inch for a knob and 700lbs per square inch for levers.
Grade 2 can withstand 150/450 per square inch and grade 3 120/225
Most high traffic areas need and require a grade 1 lock. They will hold up to the frequent use and abuse very well.
Most residents will be very well protected with a high quality grade 2 lock and reinforced strike plate, but not all grade 2 locks are created equal.
Grade 3 locks are generally designed for interior applications that don’t get a lot of use. We would never recommend the use of a grade 3 lock on the exterior of your home.
Cost:
Grade 3 locks can range in price from $15 - $35, Grade 2 locks $45 - $85 and Grade 1 locks $90 - $200.
There is also a difference in quality and security of locks within grades. An example is that a lock may be a grade 1 for operation but be a grade 2 or lower for security.
A reputable locksmith can help you pick out the right locks to ensure that your home is adequately secured.
As always Please give Pop-A-Lock a call and we can answer any questino you might have.

Comments: My wife and I had a very anxiety invoking moment when I accidentally locked my baby in the car this morning. We were, as you can imagine very nervous about getting her out. We called the first locksmith on Google and they said someone would call us in 10 minutes when this didn't happen we called the police and they referred us to Pop A Lock. They said they would be there in 15. The first locksmith called two times to let us know they were on the way and we refused their service. When the gentleman arrived and my wife asked if he was from Pop-A-Lock he said yest and then proceeded to unlock the door. When he was done the real Pop-A-Lock man arrived we realized that he had lied and said he was Pop-A-Lock when he was really with another organization. He also gave us a price that was $109.00 versus the $25 that was quoted. The Pop-A-Lock man was very aggressive and questioned the other locksmith by stating that what he did was extortion because he was represent
ing a company that he was not. He challenged the other locksmith to produce a business card or anything about himself and when he could not he left. I am sorry that your company has to deal with this un-scrupulous business practices and I want to tell you how wonderful it was to have him there to advocate for us. I am going to call the police and give glowing reviews to your company. Me, my wife and daughter all thank you for being our advocate!

Does this make sense to you???
Your late for a very important meeting and you are just getting ready to pull out of your drive and then you remember you left the report on your table. You quickly run in the house to get the report and go to get in your car and you just realized that you locked your keys in your car. Oh No!!!! what are you going to do now.
We you are at home so you look up Locksmith in Google and you see there are Lot's of different locksmiths companies in listed. You even see 6 of them that have over 75 fantastic reviews. This won't be so bad you think.
You call the first one and they tell you it's just $29.95 plus a small fee to open the vehicle, but they can't tell you until the locksmith gets there. They can say it will be $15 and up.
Your not going to fall for that so you decide to call another Locksmith with over 100 great reviews. They say that it will be under $100, but can't say more than that.
You continue calling the other great reviewed locksmiths only to find you get similar quotes. At this point you figure that is just the way it is and besides you are already late and need to get this done.
The locksmith shows up 1 hour later even though they said 15 minutes and then they tell you that your ford escort is a special car and it will cost you $125.
What happened???
1. All of the companies you called are the same owner and they have made sure that if you need a locksmith you can only find them. Sure the names are different, but that is what they want you to think.
But what about all of those great reviews??? What a joke. If you look real close at the reviews you will see that most of them were put on within a few days of each other and some don't even talk about locksmith services. They were planted on there by the scammeres because they know people in a hurry won't read the reviews close enough to know they are not real.
How can you avoid this??
1. Have the name and number of a reputable locksmith/ Locksmiths in your phone before you need them.
2. Check out the locksmith on BBB. If they are not on there then stay away.
3. Look for reviews from reputable sources like Angie's list and or service magic
4. Insist on a flat rate quote with no exception.
The most important thing you can do is to know of a good Locksmith before you need one.
Please consider Pop-A-Lock as your Trusted Locksmith.

Read your Locksmith reviews very closely
I was just reading a review on Super Pages from one of the scammer Locksmiths in the Twin Cities and I am just amazed that more people don't read them closer. When you look at this so called company, they have a review for a plumber on there and then they have all of these reviews within a few days of each other. The one legitimate review talks about how they just were charged over $800 to have a standard knob and deadbolt installed. That is just plain highway robbery. At most this person should of paid $200 -$225. Folks do your homework.
First: Check the rating of the locksmith with the BBB. Http://minnesota.bbb.org/find-business-Reviews. Surprise!!! this company was not listed or accredited with the BBB.
Second: Always ask for an estimate and confirm this is a firm price and ask what would change the price.
Third: Are they listed on an Angie's List type service? If not you should stay away. Even the best Locksmith companies have bad days but if this company cares about its reputation they will make it right because they value the business from groups like Angie's List.
Unless you want to pay $800 plus for a $200 job I strongly suggest that you put the name of a good and trusted Locksmith in you contact list before you need them.
As always Pop-A-Lock is a name you can trust. Do it now!! put 800-Pop-A-Lock in your phone or 612-331-3093

Went to the 23rd annual Trade show and Education Weekend and I must say they do a great job. Met up with the local ALOA folks who asked why I did not join yet. OK my bad. I am turning in the apps on Monday and will also be a part of the licensing committee that is working on getting MN to require a license to be a locksmith.
MN was in the for front of requiring a license for locksmiths about 5 years ago, but they just couldn't get it going. I wonder what would of happened if we would of got it passed? I bet we would not have as many scammers had it passed and I bet we would all be getting professional wages like the plumers and electricians are.
It is important that Pop-A-Lock MN become a part of this great community and give back to some of the great people in this industry.
