How quickly can a mobile locksmith reach my location?

Arrival times depend on your location, traffic, technician availability and the service required. When you call, our team will confirm current availability and provide the best available arrival window for your location.

Will unlocking my car or home door cause any damage?

Our technicians use professional tools and methods designed to unlock vehicles and doors without unnecessary damage. The appropriate method depends on the lock, door, vehicle and its existing condition.

Can Pop-A-Lock cut and program keys for push-to-start vehicles?

In many cases, yes. Our mobile technicians can cut and program keys, remotes and smart keys for many push-to-start vehicles. Available options depend on the vehicle’s year, make and model. Identification and proof of ownership may be required.

What is the difference between rekeying a lock and replacing it?

Rekeying changes the lock so old keys no longer work while keeping the existing hardware. Replacing a lock means installing new hardware. Rekeying may be appropriate when the lock works properly, while replacement may be recommended when the lock is damaged, outdated or no longer meets your needs.

What payment methods do you accept?

Pop-A-Lock accepts major payment methods for locksmith services. Available options can be confirmed when you call or before the technician begins the authorized work.

Are you available 24 hours?

Yes. Calls are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 504-588-2192 to confirm current technician availability for your location and service.

What is a Master Key System?

It is a smart locking system where we divide your property into different zones based on their access needs. Then, we create keys that allow people to unlock all the doors of a specific zone using one single key, known as the master key.

You won’t need the ‘change key,’ i.e., the unique key of the specific lock. The master key will open multiple locks, giving you seamless access. We specialize in designing hierarchy-based master key systems that grant appropriate access to everyone.

So, junior or mid-level employees will have a master key that opens the locks of their offices and other areas they might need access to. Managers’ master keys will work on all the doors of their department. The building manager or security staff will have a key that opens all the property doors.

Want to have this top-tier security system? Call our commercial locksmiths today to discuss your needs.

With our master key system, your staff won’t have to carry 15 different keys jangling in a keychain. You won’t have to worry about too many missing, lost, or stolen keys. Safe but simplified access will ensure a smooth operation. And if a key is lost or stolen or a disgruntled employee leaves the office, we can get the selective locks rekeyed immediately!

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common questions about locksmith services and how to choose the best provider for your needs.

How does a master key system work?

Master keys work on a hierarchical basis. First, there is a master key that opens multiple doors within a specific area/zone. Then comes the grand master key, which opens all the doors of multiple zones. Finally, there is the great grand master key, which opens all the doors of a facility, no matter which zone it is.

Can a master key open any lock within my property?

It depends on what you want. We can do that if you have a small property and need a simple system where just one key can open all the doors for everyone. However, the master key system is typically designed to provide restricted access.

Can you use my already existing locks in your master key system?

Yes, we can, depending on their type and condition. Most pin-tumbler locks can be converted to a master key system, but if your locks are pretty old, we recommend replacing them instead. Our commercial locksmiths will assess the condition of your lock and make suggestions accordingly.

How do I choose the right master key system for my needs?

Designing a practical layout might not be easy unless you are a professional locksmith. We recommend hiring a professional like us who will evaluate your business’s size, security, and hierarchical needs before creating a blueprint. We will also help you choose the right type of locks to suit your budget.
