Quietly Sorted Locksmiths

For locksmiths

Locked out at 2am, they ring until someone answers.

Locksmithing is the most urgent trade there is. Someone on a doorstep at night wants a calm voice, a price and an arrival time, and they’ll take the first one they get. We set up the systems that answer every time, so you only get up for real jobs.

Emergency call-out

Where locksmiths lose work.

01

Night calls you sleep through

The lockout at 2am goes to whoever picks up. If that’s a national call centre, the job and the margin go with it.

02

Time-wasters and price shoppers

Calls asking “how much?” and ringing off use up the evening.

03

Upsells left on the doorstep

After a lockout, many customers want better locks. Without a follow-up, that work goes nowhere.

What we fix

What we’d usually sort first.

  1. Calls answeredOften first

    Every call answered, day and night, with your call-out price and an honest arrival time. Real emergencies wake you; enquiries wait for the morning.

  2. Books keptOften first

    Payment taken by card on the doorstep, recorded automatically.

  3. Quotes followed up

    A follow-up after each emergency job about upgrading locks or adding security.

  4. More good reviews

    Review requests sent after the job. In a trade where trust matters this much, reviews do a lot.

  5. A website that works on a phone

    A local site with your real address, prices and tap-to-call, not a lead-gen front page.

  6. Bookings and reminders

    Non-urgent lock changes and upgrades booked into daytime slots.

Your proposal is based on what we find in your business, so the order may be different for you.

Works with the tools locksmiths often run on

  • ServiceM8
  • Jobber
  • Google Calendar
  • Outlook
  • Xero
  • QuickBooks
  • FreeAgent
  • Sage
  • Stripe
  • SumUp
  • Square
  • WhatsApp

Not on the list? If it has a way in, we can usually connect it. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so in your proposal.

Who does what

Every part of the job has its own desk.

A small business shouldn’t need a back office to run like it has one. Behind each build is a set of specialist desks, each doing one job properly, with Zac checking the result before it reaches you.

  1. Reads your website, your Google listing, your reviews and the businesses near you, so your proposal starts from facts about your business rather than a template.

  2. Writes up what we found, what we would fix, the fixed price and the date it will be live. You get it in writing and decide in your own time.

  3. Builds the website, the booking page, the call handling and the follow-ups, then tests each one on a phone before anything goes live.

  4. Connects it all to what you already use: your calendar, job app, accounts and card reader. You don’t have to learn new software.

  5. Answers your calls and messages, day or night, books jobs into your diary and puts the urgent ones straight through to you.

  6. Sends the invoice, takes the payment and files every payment and receipt in Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage.

  7. Keeps it all running, fixes anything that breaks and sends you a short monthly report: calls answered, jobs booked, reviews in.

  8. The one named person here. Zac reviews every build before it goes live, and if you have a question, you can email him directly.

Work out your own number

What do missed calls cost you?

In a normal week I miss calls. An average job is worth £, and about % of those callers would have booked.

Type your own figures over the grey examples to see your number.

How it works

A written proposal before anything starts.

  1. 01

    We look at your business

    Your website, your Google listing, your reviews and how other locksmiths near you do things.

  2. 02

    You get a proposal

    What we found, how we’d fix each thing, a fixed price and the date it’ll be live. No sales call.

  3. 03

    We build it

    Around the tools you already use, so there’s no new software to learn.

  4. 04

    We keep it running

    One monthly fee for running costs and upkeep, plus a short monthly report.

Prices, in writing

Three promises, before you pay a penny.

£995

The most setup will ever cost

You see the full price, line by line, before you agree to anything. Nothing is billed by the hour. After that it’s one monthly fee, which you can cancel whenever you like.

On time

Or your setup fee back

Setup fee refunded if it isn't live by the build date we quote; monthly is cancel-anytime.

3 free

Founding places in each town

The first 3 businesses in each town get setup free, in exchange for an honest review and a short case study once it’s running. Your proposal shows how many places are left in your town.

Questions

What locksmiths ask us.

Can it tell an emergency from an enquiry?

Yes. You set the rules: locked out with a child inside comes straight to you, while a lock-change quote waits for the morning.

Will it quote my call-out price?

Yes, your price and your terms, exactly as you set them.

Can it check where the caller is?

It takes the address and postcode and can tell the caller whether it’s within the area you cover.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Calls are forwarded from your existing number, either all the time, only when you don’t pick up, or only out of hours.

Is there a contract?

No minimum term. Cancel the monthly whenever you like.
