If you open my car without a key, will you damage it?

We specialize in not damaging cars by the techniques and tools we use to open them. It’s why we got started as a company — to prevent damage to vehicles. Many locksmiths use slim jims or other unsafe tools. At Pop-A-Lock we use internally designed tools and techniques to make sure no damage is done to your vehicle.

Does Picking the Lock to My House Damage the Lock?

No, no damage occurs while picking the lock to your house. Sometimes, a lock cannot be picked and so has to be drilled out, ie removed and replaced. In this instance the lock is damaged which is why it needs to be replaced. One of the reasons many customers pick Pop-A-Lock is that we have a high percentage history of picking locks successfully. In these instances, the lock is not damaged and does not need to be replaced.
