The problem

Why locksmiths miss so many calls

Somebody standing outside their own house in the rain will ring every locksmith on the first page until one answers.

When the phone rings out

  • the small hours, when lockouts happen
  • while you are already picking a lock
  • any moment your hands are busy

What they are ringing about

  • locked out with no spare key
  • a break in that needs securing tonight
  • changing locks after losing keys

What that costs a single site

£11,300

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 44 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 15 a week, and one customer is worth £180 to a locksmith. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a locksmith actually works

Answers instantly at any hour

Takes the address and the lock type

Confirms your call out fee before you travel

Alerts you to burglary jobs immediately

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a locksmith that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What locksmiths ask us

How fast does it answer?

On the first ring, every time. For lockouts that is the entire competition, because the caller is standing outside and dialling numbers in order.

Can it confirm the call out fee?

Yes, up front, which cuts the wasted journeys where someone balks at the price on the doorstep.

What about break ins?

Set them as urgent. Those calls reach you immediately and the caller is told how long you will be.

Hear it answer a locksmith call

Ring the number and ask it the awkward question your customers always ask. If you like what you hear, it will book you in there and then.
