The "Lead Leak" Problem
Emergency lockout calls slip through because your team juggles handwritten job notes and manual follow-up emails after 12-hour shifts handling high-volume residential and commercial rekeys
Residential rekey jobs get forgotten when you're buried in commercial contract bids and scattered lead lists
Prospects for smart lock installations ghost you due to delayed, templated outreach that overlooks their urgent needs like post-burglary access control or vacation property security upgrades
Your van's downtime skyrockets from chasing low-priority leads instead of focusing on high-value after-hours lockouts
Missed opportunities in multi-unit property management contracts because manual CRM tracking fails to nurture relationships with apartment complex owners needing bulk cylinder replacements or master key systems
Seasonal spikes in demand overwhelm your outreach, leaving hot leads cold as you scramble between on-site jobs and admin work

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half our after-hours lockout leads to follow-up delays after 10-hour shifts. Now, the system auto-pings property managers with customized quotes based on their building's Schlage access logs and rekey history. We've secured 12 steady commercial contracts worth $150K in six months—it's like having an extra sales rep who handles master key bids 24/7."
Mike Rivera
Owner, QuickLock Solutions, a 15-year-old locksmith serving urban residential and commercial clients in Chicago
"Manual emailing was killing our residential rekey business; quotes lingered in inboxes for days amid back-to-back deadbolt installs. This custom AI setup drafts personalized messages from our job database, like reminding clients of their last Kwikset cylinder swap due for upgrade. We closed 15% more rekeys last quarter, hitting $80K in revenue, and my team's clocking out by 6 PM consistently."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, SecureHome Locksmiths, specializing in suburban home security and smart lock integrations
"We were swamped with Yale smart lock demos but couldn't properly nurture the full installs due to manual tracking. AIQ created an outreach flow that segments leads by urgency—immediate lockouts vs. preventive upgrades—and it's doubled our conversions on IoT deadbolt jobs to 40%. Saved us 12 hours a week on admin, allowing focus on high-margin property management contracts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the urgency of locksmith emergencies?
Our custom AI is tuned for time-sensitive scenarios like break-ins or lockouts. It analyzes incoming data—such as call times or keywords like 'stuck right now'—to trigger immediate, personalized outreach. For instance, if a lead mentions a residential emergency after 8 PM, the system sends a geo-targeted SMS with your 24/7 availability and a quick quote link. This cuts response times from hours to minutes, capturing 30% more urgent jobs that manual processes miss. We've seen locksmiths reduce no-shows by 22% through these proactive nudges, all while integrating with your on-call roster to avoid overbooking.
Can it integrate with my existing scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom van dispatch systems. The AI pulls real-time availability from your calendar to suggest optimal follow-up windows, then books appointments directly if the lead engages. No more double-entry errors that lead to overlapped jobs. For a typical locksmith, this means syncing outreach with route optimizations, potentially saving 5-7 hours weekly on rescheduling. Our builds are production-grade, tested for high-volume days like Black Friday lockout surges, ensuring zero downtime.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf CRM outreach tools?
Unlike generic CRMs that force you into rigid templates, our solution is custom-built for locksmith workflows. We train the AI on your specific data—like historical rekey patterns or client property types—to generate outreach that's authentically relevant, not boilerplate. This results in 28% higher open rates compared to industry benchmarks for service trades. Plus, you own the system outright, avoiding subscription traps. A client recently switched from a popular CRM and saw their lead-to-job conversion jump from 15% to 42%, all because the AI now personalizes based on exact service histories like commercial master key systems.
How secure is the data in this system for sensitive locksmith info?
Security is paramount, especially with client addresses and access details. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus locksmith-specific regs for key code handling. Your data stays in a fortified, owned environment—no third-party sharing. Features include role-based access (e.g., techs see only job leads, not full client histories) and audit logs for every interaction. In one deployment, this setup prevented a potential data leak during a team handover, saving a firm from compliance fines. Regular penetration testing ensures it's robust against breaches, giving you peace of mind on the road.
What's the timeline and cost for implementing this for my locksmith business?
We kick off with a free audit to map your needs, then build and deploy in 4-6 weeks for most setups, depending on integrations. Costs start at $15K for a core outreach engine, scaling with custom features like voice analysis—far below the $50K+ annual bleed from multiple subscriptions. ROI hits fast: One locksmith recouped investment in 10 weeks via 18 extra emergency jobs. It's a one-time build with minimal ongoing fees, just optional tweaks. We provide full handover docs, so your team runs it independently, boosting productivity without vendor lock-in.
Will this work for a small locksmith team with just 5 techs?
Yes, it's designed for SMBs like yours. For a 5-person operation, we scale it down to focus on essentials—like automating follow-ups for local residential calls—without overwhelming complexity. The system learns from your volume, prioritizing high-ROI actions such as nurturing repeat business from apartment complexes. A similar small shop saw 15 hours saved weekly, allowing techs to focus on fieldwork over admin. It's flexible: Start simple, then expand to features like smart lock lead enrichment as you grow. No bloat—just tailored efficiency that fits your van-based hustle.
