What it does for locksmiths
An AI receptionist for locksmiths answers every call the moment it rings. It sorts the lockout from the rekey, quotes routine work from your price book and books the job on your calendar. When someone is locked out of a car or home, it gets the address and reaches you or your on-call tech in seconds. It works after hours and on weekends, even while you are on a job.

Hear it handle a call like yours
The kind of call locksmiths get at the worst possible time, answered and booked while you work. Then try it yourself.
- AI: Keyline Locksmith, how can I help?
- Customer: I locked myself out of my house. My keys are inside.
- AI: Sorry. Are you somewhere safe, and is anyone inside, like a child or a pet?
- Customer: Just my dog. I'm on the porch.
- AI: Okay. The tech will need to see an ID with this address before opening the door. Do you have one on you?
- Customer: Yes, my license has this address.
- AI: Our daytime home lockout is $95. The next opening has the tech there between 2:30 and 3 PM. Want it?
- Customer: Yes, please.
- AI: Booked. The tech has your address, and I've texted you a confirmation.
Calls it handles
Locked out of the car at midnight
The AI gets the make, model and exact location and confirms they can prove the car is theirs. Then it reaches your on-call tech while the caller stays on the line.
A rekey after a tenant moves out
It asks how many doors and locks and whether they want them rekeyed or replaced. It quotes the job from your price book and books a window that fits your route for the day.
Someone locked out of the house after a shift
The AI gets the address, the door type and whether anyone has ID on site. It sets the right expectation on arrival time and puts the job on your calendar without you stopping work.
Booked by your rules
It only offers real openings inside the hours you set, never a day you blocked. Spam and out-of-area leads never land on your calendar.

After the call it keeps working
Follow-up written for every lead
A lead goes quiet? It follows up for weeks until they book or say no. Every follow-up is written for that one lead.
One memory across every channel
They text at lunch, DM at nine and call the next day. It already knows the job.
More reviews and fewer bad ones
Mark a job done and the AI asks how it went. Happy customers get your Google review link. Unhappy ones come to you first.

Common questions
Can it tell an emergency lockout from regular work like a rekey or new install?
Yes. It asks the few questions that sort it out, like whether someone is stranded outside a car or home right now or scheduling a rekey or hardware swap. Lockouts go to you or your on-call tech fast. Routine work gets quoted and booked for a normal time slot.
Will it quote rekeys, lockouts and lock changes correctly?
Yes. It quotes from your price book with the numbers you already use, like rekeys per cylinder, a lockout service call or a deadbolt install. If a job needs a look first, like a high-security or commercial lock, it gives your service call rate and books the visit instead of guessing.
What happens to calls at 2am or while I am on a job?
It answers every one. After hours it handles the lockout calls that pay well, gets the address and the vehicle or door details and reaches your on-call line right away. During the day, while your hands are on a lock, it qualifies and books the routine work, so you never lose a caller to voicemail.
