A real total builds trust on the first call
Plenty of people who call a locksmith have heard about a low phone price that grew once the truck showed up. Missed No More Pro gives the caller one exact total computed from your approved rates, a travel fee based on real driving distance, and your after-hours fee when it applies. Anything that depends on the lock, like a high-security lock, is mentioned up front. The AI never gives a vague starting price or invents a number.
Lockouts dispatched in one call
Someone locked out at night wants to know help is coming. The AI takes the location, even cross streets or a nearby landmark when they're in a parking lot, plus the best callback number, and texts your on-call locksmith right away. The caller gets a text confirming help is on the way, with an estimated arrival time based on how many jobs are already on today's board.
Rekeys and lock changes booked
Not every call is an emergency. Rekeys, lock changes, and business jobs get booked into open slots on your Google Calendar, only inside your hours, with a confirmation text and a reminder. Lock changes are quoted as your labor plus the cost of the hardware.
Only calls you can actually take
The AI checks each caller's driving distance from your shop against the service radius you set, so out-of-area callers hear it on the call instead of waiting on a callback. Sales pitches and robocalls are screened out, and every real lead lands in the built-in CRM with a transcript and summary.
Commercial locksmiths
Commercial locksmith calls come from business owners and property managers who need a lock changed after an employee leaves, a master key system updated, or an office lockout handled before opening. The AI captures the business and address, logs each account in the CRM, and texts your on-call locksmith when a business can't get in.
Safe opening and safe services
For safe opening, the AI captures what kind of safe it is and what happened, like a lost combination or a failed lock, from what the caller describes, then books the visit or alerts your team. Anything you haven't priced by phone is captured for a quote instead of guessed.

FAQ
AI receptionist for locksmiths: questions
Can an AI answering service handle locksmith lockout calls?
Yes. Missed No More Pro answers 24/7, captures the location and callback number, gives the caller an exact total, texts your on-call locksmith, and texts the caller a confirmation with an estimated arrival time.
How does it quote a lockout?
From the rates you approve: your lockout price, a travel fee based on real driving distance, and your after-hours fee when the call comes in during that window. The caller hears one exact total, and charges that depend on the lock are mentioned as possible additions.
What about jobs I can't price over the phone?
The AI only quotes services you've given it a price for. For anything else, it captures what the caller needs and a callback number and alerts your team, instead of guessing.
Will it take calls from outside my area?
It checks the caller's driving distance against the service radius you set. Callers outside it are told on the call, and their details are still saved in case you want to follow up.
How much does a locksmith answering service cost compared to this?
Missed No More Pro plans start at $50 per month for 200 AI minutes, with a 7-day free trial. Human answering services commonly run $300 or more per month and usually just take a message. Every plan is a hard cap, so there are no overage charges.
