Stop losing emergency jobs while you are on another call. Our AI voice receptionist answers every lockout call 24/7, captures location and vehicle details, provides instant quotes, and dispatches your nearest technician—even at 3 AM when your highest-margin emergencies happen.
Someone locked out of their car at midnight or their home with groceries in hand needs help NOW. They will not leave a voicemail—they call the next locksmith on Google until someone answers. That is $185 walking to your competitor.
When you are picking a lock, cutting a key, or programming a transponder, you cannot answer your phone. Every unanswered ring is a lost emergency job—and lockouts are your highest-margin work.
Your van is your office. Between driving, working on jobs, and dealing with traffic, managing incoming calls is nearly impossible. Meanwhile, customers with emergencies need immediate response—not callbacks in 30 minutes.
From emergency call to dispatched technician—all handled automatically while you work
AI answers instantly—no hold times, no voicemail, any time of day or night. Customer describes their lockout situation.
AI gathers exact location, vehicle make/model, lock type, urgency level, and whether children or pets are involved.
Based on your pricing, AI provides an estimate: service call fee, after-hours rate if applicable, and expected arrival time window.
Job details sent via SMS with customer info, location, map link, and vehicle/lock specs. You accept and head to the job.

You control which triggers activate escalation.
