Up and Running in 3 Steps

We handle everything — you just tell us about your business.

Tell Us About Your Locksmith Business

Your coverage area, response times, the services you offer — emergency lock-outs, lock changes, UPVC mechanism repairs, safe opening, master key systems — and how you want 2am lock-out calls handled.

We Build Your Locksmith-Trained AI

We train the AI to handle lock-out urgency with calm reassurance — capturing the lock type, door material, whether the caller is locked out with children or pets inside, and the exact location for fastest dispatch.

You Focus on the Lock in Your Hands

While you are picking a euro cylinder or programming a smart lock, every call is answered. Midnight lock-out emergencies escalated to your mobile. Daytime lock-change quotes and security survey requests captured for callback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AI handle after-hours emergency lockout calls?

Yes — and this is where locksmiths benefit most. Lockout calls come at all hours. The AI answers every one, captures the situation (lock type, door type, location, urgency), and escalates to your mobile immediately.

Does it understand lock types?

Yes. The AI knows euro cylinders, mortice deadlocks, multipoint locks, night latches, thumb turns, UPVC mechanisms, and BS3621 insurance requirements. When a customer describes their lock, the AI asks the right follow-up questions.

What about after a break-in?

The AI handles post-break-in calls with appropriate urgency. It captures the situation, advises the customer to call the police if they haven't already, and escalates the call to you as a priority job — the customer needs their property secured.

Can it mention my MLA membership?

Absolutely. If you're MLA registered, DBS checked, or have insurance-approved credentials, the AI references these when relevant to build trust with the caller.

I cover a wide area — can the AI check if I serve their location?

Yes. We programme your service area into the AI. If someone calls from outside your coverage, it lets them know politely. If they're on the boundary, it captures the details and flags it for you to decide.

How fast is the AI at answering lockout calls?

Under 3 seconds. By the time the second ring finishes, your AI is already talking to the caller. That speed is the difference between winning and losing the job.

Can the AI handle safe opening and safe supply enquiries?

Yes. For safe work — whether it's opening a safe after a lost combination, installing a new safe for a business, or upgrading to a higher-security rated unit — the AI captures the safe type, the reason for the enquiry, and the urgency level. Safe work is high-margin and the AI treats these leads accordingly.

Does the AI handle commercial access control enquiries?

If you install commercial locks, master key suites, or restricted key systems, the AI captures the number of doors, the access hierarchy needed, and whether the customer wants a traditional master key system or an electronic access solution. These are substantial project leads that the AI qualifies from the first conversation.

What is the benefit of an AI receptionist for my locksmith business?

Locksmithing is one of the most emergency-driven trades in the UK. When someone is locked out of their home at 2am, locked out of their car at a motorway services, or has had their house broken into and needs the locks changed immediately, they call multiple locksmiths and hire whoever answers first. Research shows that 78% of customers hire the first business to respond — and in locksmithing, that figure is arguably even higher because the customer is often standing in the cold or rain, stressed, and desperate. UK locksmiths report missing 3-5 calls per day, and 85% of those callers never ring back because they found someone faster. With average lockout jobs worth £80-£150 and lock change jobs worth £100-£300, missing just 3 calls daily costs you £70,000-£100,000+ per year. A full-time receptionist would cost £25,000-£30,000. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and answers every call instantly, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your AI captures the customer's location, lock type, urgency level, and escalates genuine emergencies (lockouts with children or elderly inside, post-burglary security) to your mobile immediately. While your competitors' phones ring out, yours is always answered.

What if my locksmith business changes its prices or services?

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've adjusted your emergency call-out rate, added smart lock fitting to your services, or changed your overnight availability, we'll update your AI receptionist within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any locksmith business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your locksmith business.

All data is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service.

We never sell, share, or use your customers' personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.
