About Pop-A-Lock

Built on a solid reputation that comes from consistently exceeding the expectations of our clientele both quickly and reliably, our brand has become nationally recognized for tireless dedication to timely and effective service.
Values & History
The Pop-A-Lock Locksmith franchise has been developing and refining marketing and advertising strategies for more than 15 years and sharing those strategies with franchise owners is a critical part of our brand's success. Certified as a World Class Franchise by the Franchise Research Institute and winner of numerous additional awards, Pop-A-Lock has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau, earning the trust and respect of both our customers and our franchise owners.
Industry Performance
The locksmith industry accounted for more than $2 billion in revenue throughout the 2019 year, growing an average of 4.3% annually over the preceding five-year period. Demand for locksmithing services is tied to the performance of the construction and housing markets, both of which are steadily increasing. Businesses depend on locksmiths to install mechanical locks, doors, gates, safes, and security systems, while homeowners, property managers, and landlords rely on locksmiths for general locksmithing services and security system installation. Projected growth for this market over the next year is forecast at 4.7%, owing to an increase in homeownership and commercial development.
Purchasing a Pop-A-Lock Franchise
Franchise investors will need access to at least $50,000 in liquid capital to be considered, with additional benefits available for qualified veterans. Financing is available through third-party lenders for qualified candidates.
Ideal Candidate & Qualifications
Candidates should be excited about the opportunity to run their own business under a proven model with national brand recognition, hungry to grow their success, and eager to meet the members of their community. Determination, focus, and a goal-oriented approach to business management are essential qualities, so those with a background in management or operations are ideal franchisees, while additional experience in sales or marketing is also helpful.
