Locksmith companies that take lockout calls with Sameday
How a locksmith call flows with Sameday
Three locksmith scenarios the AI handles the same way your best dispatcher would — qualified by lock type and urgency, booked by nearest tech, and in your dispatch board before the call ends.
- Car lockout
A caller is locked out at a parking lot at 2 AM
Sameday answers on the first ring, captures the exact parking-lot address, year / make / model, and whether a child or pet is inside, then dispatches your closest mobile tech with the right wedge-and-pump kit and texts a live ETA.
- Rekey after move-in
A new homeowner wants every lock rekeyed
The AI counts exterior doors, confirms deadbolt vs. knob brand (Schlage / Kwikset / Baldwin), quotes your rekey rate per cylinder, and books a daytime visit with your residential tech into Jobber.
- Automotive key
A caller needs a replacement transponder key cut
Sameday qualifies year / make / model, confirms whether the caller has one working key (critical for cloning), gives the shop-vs-mobile price difference, and books the right chair — mobile transponder programming or an in-shop blank cut.
Books into the dispatch software you already use
Lockouts, rekeys, and automotive calls land on your dispatch board during the call — no voicemail backlog, no CSR-to-tech handoff spreadsheet.
- ServiceTitan Business units (residential / commercial / automotive), job types, and skill tags.
- Housecall Pro Job types, employees, and automated appointment notifications.
