I need an extra set of keys. Does Pop-A-Lock make duplicate keys for cars?

I need a locksmith's help tonight. Are after hours service calls more expensive?
Yes, they are. Before you call us for an after hours service, think it through: Can this wait until normal working hours (9 to 5; can vary by location)?
My key broke off in my door. What should I do?
If the key to your business or home has broken off in the lock, it is not wise to stick things inside of it in an attempt to remove the broken key. Doing this can result in additional damage, such as breaking off more material in the lock or damaging the wells. Instead, let a professional locksmith assist you.
