Very quick and professional. Glad I chose them. They are located in Lexington and were in northeast Columbia in about 15 minutes. Thank you, thank you and thank you! I didn't have to break a window!

Technician arrived promptly and got straight to work.  He was very professional and efficient and had the locks rekeyed quickly. I will definitely use this service again when needed and will highly recommend pop-a-lock to my friends, relatives and coworkers.

It went very well.  I am happy to have had the job done.
David immediately responded to my phone call and assured me that he could me meet me after work.  
Other locksmiths had answering services and they didn't call back.
I really like that about a locksmith service.
Almost everyone who suddenly needs this service is anxious to meet up with the technician.
Pop a Lock is very responsive.

David came to my house an hour and a half after I called for a same-day appointment, and was at my location for around a half hour. He was friendly and performed the requested services quickly. I used the Angie's List special promotion (4 locks re-keyed on 2 doors) for $115. David charged me an extra $10 for two extra keys (4 total) and the re-key of the 5th lock.

Went fine, except worker had to return as one of the locks wouldn't open with the key provided.  
He returned immediately to fix.  Had something to do with product.

Re keyed all doors for a new house.  Very efficient service call.   Some of the knobs were keyed differently and had to be picked before could be re keyed.  Everything is working fine now.  It now feels like our house.

I closed the entrance door of our daughter's house without noticing that it was locked. This was an early Sunday morning. I called a couple of other services. There was no response from one; another had no tech available, but Popalock responded immediately. The technician was pleasant, professional, and had the door open in less than a minute. The service charge was half of what I was expecting.

Pop a Lock has technicians all over the Columbia area.  The only complaint is that I did have to wait a while before anyone called me back.  When the technician called he discussed the problem and made some money savings suggestions to do before he arrived!  He agreed that I should go to Lowe's and buy a new lockset just  in case he needed to put one in.  He arranged to arrive in 1 1/2 hours to give me time to get to Lowe's.  He seemed considerate of my time and my money and I really appreciate that.  He was able to fix my existing lockset, which meant I got to take the new one back to Lowe's which saved me $$$.  Thanks Pop A Lock.

There were no problems. They were on time and they did what I asked them to do. They came out when they said they would come out. They met my expectations and I was pleased. I don't remember the price being excessive.

Our car was left in a parking lot in NE Columbia, with theheadlights left on. it resused to start. I notified AAA and they sent Pop-a Lock. The attendant arrived promptly and sent us on our way. A bad experience made good.

Called and the service man, Brandon said he would be out the same afternoon at 1:00 PM (this was on a Saturday). Brandon called back and asked if he could come early about 11:00 AM instead of waiting until 1. He came at 11 AM and had all the locks rekeyed and extra keys made. He taught me how to maintain our locksets in good working order. He cleaned up after himself. Fast, friendly and efficient service!

Clyde provided excellent service. Gave me plenty of notice as to when he would arrive. Very friendly, very fast. Even gave me extra keys. Tried to reverse a lock that had been put in upside-down, but discovered it was done so for a reason, and explained the reason to me and my options. Even gave me a painting tip. Great service.
