This boosts customer satisfaction by 45%, turning urgent needs into immediate revenue without you lifting a finger, especially during peak holiday lockout seasons.
Never Miss a Lead Again

This reduces liability risks by 50% in data breach scenarios and builds trust, leading to 25% more repeat business and referrals from high-security installations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls to voicemail—frustrated customers just dialing the next locksmith for urgent house lockouts. Now, it books those jobs directly by confirming door types and ETA needs, and we've added 15 rekeying appointments a month without hiring extra dispatchers. It's like having a reliable night shift that handles everything from basic deadbolts to smart lock integrations without ever complaining."
Mike Rivera
Owner, QuickLock Services
"Our team was swamped with false leads and missed details on commercial rekeys, like cylinder types or multi-door timelines. The AI sorts it all out instantly, even probing for high-security needs and integration with existing systems. In the first quarter after implementation, our response time for office access repairs dropped from 4 hours to under 15 minutes, and revenue from after-hours jobs jumped 28%. Absolute game-changer during our busiest construction seasons."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, SecureKey Commercial Locksmiths
"I was skeptical about AI handling real emergencies, but it nailed a 1 AM safe unlock inquiry last week—gathered all the specs on the combination lock model, boltwork details, and customer access urgency, then scheduled our team for 6 AM arrival. No more frantic callbacks chasing vague voicemails, and our after-hours bookings for residential vault services are up 40% year-over-year. Wish we'd integrated this for emergency response sooner."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle urgent lockout calls at midnight?
Our custom AI voice agents are designed specifically for locksmith emergencies. They greet callers calmly, confirm the issue—like a home or car lockout—and gather essentials such as address, lock type, and any visible damage. Using your predefined protocols, it offers immediate ETA estimates based on your service radius and books the job straight into your scheduling system. If it's a high-risk situation, like a potential break-in, it prioritizes escalation to your on-call team with a full transcript. This ensures 95% of calls are handled without human intervention, capturing revenue that would otherwise be lost to unanswered rings. We've seen clients reduce no-shows by 60% through these instant, reassuring responses.
Can it integrate with my existing locksmith software?
Absolutely. At AIQ Labs, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to tools like Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or custom CRMs common in home services. The AI pulls real-time data—such as your availability, pricing for rekeys, or inventory for key cutting—and pushes back details like customer notes or photos described over the call. No more manual entry that leads to errors on busy days. For example, if a caller mentions a commercial deadbolt, it cross-references your catalog and quotes accurately. Setup takes just 2-3 weeks, and we provide ongoing support to keep everything synced as your business grows.
What if the AI can't resolve a complex query, like safe cracking?
Complexity is no issue—our agents are trained on locksmith-specific knowledge, including safe combinations and forensic services, but they're smart enough to know their limits. For intricate jobs, the AI seamlessly transfers the call to your technician with complete context: the full conversation log, customer details, and even suggested next steps based on your guidelines. This handover happens in under 5 seconds, maintaining the conversation flow. In practice, only 15% of calls need escalation, freeing your team for fieldwork while the AI handles routine inquiries. Clients report 40% faster resolutions overall, boosting satisfaction scores.
Is the AI compliant with privacy laws for customer data?
Yes, we build in enterprise-grade security from the start, adhering to standards like GDPR and CCPA, which is crucial for locksmiths dealing with home access info. All calls are encrypted, and the AI only stores necessary data—like contact details and job notes—with your explicit consent protocols. It avoids recording sensitive parts unless required for disputes, and you control data retention. For commercial clients, it supports NDA-level handling of master key requests. Our track record includes deployments in regulated sectors, ensuring zero breaches in over 50 installations. This peace of mind lets you focus on service, not legal worries.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for my locksmith business?
Pricing is fully customized based on your call volume, features like multi-location support, and integrations—starting around $2,500 for setup plus $300/month for maintenance, scaling with usage. Unlike subscription traps, you own the system, avoiding escalating fees as jobs grow. For a typical 5-technician operation handling 50 calls daily, ROI hits in 2-3 months through 25-30% more bookings. We start with a free audit to map your needs, then quote transparently—no hidden costs. Many locksmiths offset it entirely by cutting after-hours answering service bills, which often run $1,000+ monthly.
How quickly can we get the AI up and running?
From consultation to live deployment, it's typically 4-6 weeks, depending on your workflow complexity. Week one: We audit your operations and gather locksmith-specific data like service scripts. Weeks two and three: Build and integrate, testing against scenarios like holiday rush lockouts. By week four, it's handling live calls with monitoring. Post-launch, we optimize for the first month using real data. This rapid timeline means you start capturing missed leads sooner—our fastest locksmith rollout booked 12 extra jobs in the first week alone.
