02 / ABOUT US
WE ARE FORT SMITH'S LOCKOUT LEGENDS.
Pop-A-Lock of Fort Smith started with one van on Towson Ave and a promise: no one in the River Valley waits long outside their own car or home. Today we run 5 mobile workshops covering Sebastian, Crawford and Franklin counties — from downtown Fort Smith to Van Buren, Alma, Greenwood, Barling, Lavaca, Mulberry and Roland, OK border.
We're not a call center in another state. We're your neighbors — youth baseball sponsors, UAFS supporters, First Friday volunteers. Every tech is background-checked, licensed, insured and trained for damage-free entry. If we can't open it without damage, you don't pay for the attempt.
