The "Knowledge Silo" Problem
Scattered emergency protocols for lockout responses and master key systems across technicians' notebooks and mobile texts
Manual lookups for restricted keyway codes and pin configurations during after-hours residential emergency calls
Lost client histories for previous rekeying jobs and cylinder specifications, leading to unnecessary repeat site visits for residential properties
Inconsistent training for new technicians on Schlage Primus locks and Kwikset deadbolt variations
Time wasted in the field decoding faded job notes on high-security padlock impressions or safe dial combinations
Compliance risks from unorganized safety guidelines for handling restricted key duplication under state locksmith licensing laws
Our Custom-Built Knowledge Base for Locksmiths
With over a decade in home services AI, we've automated knowledge systems for 150+ trades, including locksmith operations that handle 1,000+ calls monthly.
Why Choose Us
We craft a tailored AI knowledge base that ingests your job logs, client notes, and protocol docs into a searchable, always-on system. No more flipping through binders mid-lockout. It's like having a master key to your entire expertise—unlocking instant answers on the van's tablet. Built on enterprise-grade frameworks, it scales with your growing fleet and integrates directly with your scheduling software for seamless workflows.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Savings Tailored to Your Locksmith Operation
Slash Field Time by 15 Hours Weekly
Slash Field Time by 15 Hours Weekly: Picture a late-night residential lockout where your tech instantly retrieves the exact Medeco cylinder type and pin chart from the prior service—no fumbling with apps or calls back to base. Our system delivers tailored protocols via mobile dashboard, cutting job times by 30% on average for rekeys and installations, enabling your team to handle 20% more emergency calls without overtime. That's $2,000+ monthly in added revenue from efficiency alone, based on tracked data from 50+ locksmith firms.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Error Reduction
Achieve 4x ROI Through Error Reduction: Manual hunts through job logs cause 15% of errors in selecting key blanks or shear lines for Mul-T-Lock systems, resulting in costly callbacks. Our AI cross-references client history and flags inconsistencies—like mismatched IC core specs—suggesting verified solutions in real-time, reducing returns by 25%. For a mid-sized locksmith shop with 10 techs, this translates to $1,500 saved quarterly on fuel, labor, and rework—validated by benchmarks from the Associated Locksmiths of America for similar trades.
Boost Team Productivity with On-Demand Training
Boost Team Productivity with On-Demand Training: New hires often spend 2-3 weeks shadowing veterans to master safe cracking techniques or ASSA Abloy lever tumbler mechanisms. Our knowledge base offers interactive modules on high-security locks, ADA-compliant handle sets, and local code requirements, accelerating onboarding by 50% with bite-sized videos and quizzes. Result: Techs hit full productivity in half the time, fewer on-site mistakes like improper deadbolt alignments, and a 20% overall crew lift—evidenced by faster first-year billable hours in pilot programs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half a day digging through notebooks for protocols on a commercial safe job in Queens, especially with those old Mosler vault resets. Now, my techs just search 'vault combination reset procedure' and pull up the full step-by-step guide with torque specs in 10 seconds. Saved us 12 hours last week during a rush of multi-unit apartment lockouts—kept our 24/7 response rate at 98% without extra hires."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Locksmith Services, serving NYC tri-state area
"We integrated AIQ with our QuickBooks to auto-pull client histories for prior master key systems and transponder programming—no more double-booking rekeys because we overlooked a tenant's restricted key setup from six months ago. This slashed our admin time from 18 hours to just 4 per week, and callbacks for incorrect key cuts dropped 30% in the first two months, freeing up vans for more high-margin safe installations."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Urban Key Solutions, Chicago-based residential and commercial locksmith
"As a solo operator scaling to three service vans in the suburbs, AIQ was a game-changer for accessing past job data on automotive VATS systems and residential smart lock integrations. The AI even suggests tools like specific bump keys based on lock brands from prior visits. Last Friday, I resolved a tricky Ford transponder issue on-site in under 45 minutes without callbacks—client raved, and I billed an extra hour for the premium service."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the knowledge base handle sensitive client data like key combinations?
Security is paramount in locksmithing. We encrypt all data with AES-256 standards and implement role-based access, so only authorized techs see specific client histories. For instance, a master key code for a boutique hotel stays siloed to the assigned crew. Our system complies with GDPR and industry regs, with audit logs tracking every access. We've built this for shops handling 500+ commercial accounts, ensuring no breaches in over three years of deployments. Plus, you control the keys—literally and figuratively—with easy export options.
Can this integrate with my existing scheduling software like Housecall Pro?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to home services tools. For Housecall Pro users, we sync job details directly into the knowledge base, pulling up past lock types en route to a call. This eliminates manual entry, saving 5-7 hours weekly on admin. Our engineers map APIs custom to your setup, whether it's pulling emergency notes or updating completion statuses. In one recent project for a NYC locksmith, this cut dispatch errors by 40%, letting techs focus on the job, not the paperwork.
What's the timeline for building and launching this for my small team?
For a typical locksmith with 20-50 active protocols, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks, followed by full deployment in 8-10 weeks. We start with a one-week audit of your notes and tools, then build iteratively with your feedback. A solo operator we worked with in Chicago went live in five weeks, handling their first AI-assisted safe job the next day. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of support to iron out kinks, ensuring it's boosting efficiency from day one without disrupting your call schedule.
How much time will this actually save my techs in the field?
Based on benchmarks from 100+ home services clients, locksmiths see 12-18 hours saved weekly. Think of ditching the frantic phone calls for pin codes—our AI delivers them in seconds via tablet. One client reduced average job time from 45 to 32 minutes on residential deadbolts, adding two extra calls per day. It's not just time; it's revenue. With error rates dropping 25%, you avoid those costly drive-backs, turning saved hours into $1,000+ monthly profit. We quantify this in your ROI report during consultation.
Is this scalable if I add more vans or expand services?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth. Starting small? It handles a single van's notes flawlessly. Scaling to 10 trucks? The cloud-based system auto-scales storage and queries without slowdowns. We recently upgraded a Dallas locksmith from three to eight vans, incorporating EV charging lock protocols seamlessly. Features like user permissions adapt as your team grows, and we include quarterly reviews to evolve the base—ensuring it matches your expansion into smart locks or automotive services without rebuilding from scratch.
What if my knowledge is mostly in old paper logs or emails?
No problem—we excel at digitizing legacy data. Our AI uses OCR and natural language processing to scan paper notes, extract key details like Schlage model specs, and organize them intelligently. For emails, we import threads on past jobs, tagging them by client or lock type. A Boston shop with 15 years of binders saw everything searchable in under two weeks. Accuracy hits 98% on first pass, with your input refining it. This transforms chaos into a clean, queryable asset, freeing you from dusty archives forever.
