Built for locksmiths

Win the lockout call before they move to the next number.

Anchor Co AI captures emergency lockout leads 24/7, gives instant pricing, and dispatches your tech immediately — so stressed customers choose you before a competitor answers.

Why locksmiths lose emergency calls online

Lockout calls hit at 10pm on a weeknight

Someone locked their keys in their car in a parking garage at night. They're searching, they're stressed, and they'll call the first locksmith that gives them a price and an ETA. If your site has a form and no answers, that job goes to a competitor.

"How much to unlock a car / rekey a house?" — the question you answer 40 times a week

Car lockouts, house lockouts, rekeys after a move, safe unlocks — each has a different rate. A chatbot gives honest price ranges instantly so customers stop calling three locksmiths to compare prices.

"How long until you can be here?" — the question that wins or loses every emergency call

A stranded driver is comparing ETAs in real time. Your chatbot commits to your typical response time by service area so they choose you before they move on to the next number.

Rekeying, key fob programming, and lock upgrades need different intake questions

A car lockout and a post-move rekey of a 5-bedroom house are completely different jobs. A chatbot pre-screens the job type so you arrive with the right tools and a realistic quote.

How it works

1

Person is locked out and searching on their phone

They need an answer now — how much, how fast. They're stressed and comparing. Whoever gives a number and an ETA fastest gets the call.

2

Chatbot gives pricing, confirms ETA, dispatches your tech

"Car lockout in the Chesterfield area typically runs $65–$85 depending on vehicle type. We can usually have someone there in 30–45 minutes. What make and model and what's the address?" — texted to your tech immediately.

3

Job dispatched. Tech arrives ready.

Your tech has the vehicle make, model, lock type if known, and location before leaving. Faster response, less wasted time, better customer experience.

Common questions

Can the chatbot handle true 24/7 emergency lockouts?

Yes — it captures the job details at any hour and immediately notifies your on-call tech via text. No lockout call goes unanswered because you were sleeping.

Can it give realistic price quotes?

Yes — you configure your rate card by job type (car lockout, house lockout, rekey, transponder key programming) and location zone. It gives honest ranges that set expectations before your tech arrives.

Does it handle car key programming questions?

Yes — transponder keys, key fobs, push-start programming, SmartKey systems. These are high-value jobs that require different equipment. The chatbot captures make/model/year so your tech arrives prepared.

What about commercial locksmith work?

Configure commercial services separately — access control, master key systems, panic bar installation, high-security locks. Commercial inquiries get a different intake flow with the right qualification questions.

Visitor: I run an HVAC company. A customer calls at 9pm and I can't pick up — what happens?

Anchor Co AI: Right now? They hit voicemail and you've lost them to whoever picks up first. With our chatbot, they hit your website at 9pm, ask “Do you do emergency service?” or “Are you licensed in my county?” — and get an instant answer. The bot captures their name, number, and address. You wake up to a lead instead of a missed call. That's the whole thing: your customers get answers 24/7, you only deal with the calls that actually need you, and you're not losing jobs to competitors who answer faster. Since you're in HVAC, the bot can handle all the common questions — licensing by county, service area, whether you do emergency calls, minimum job size, how long estimates take. You train it on your website in about 10 minutes, and it goes live in an afternoon. Want to try it? You can start free at anchorcoai.com/signup — no credit card required. Test it on your actual website for 14 days and see if it captures leads you would've missed.

Visitor: Will it make stuff up about my business?

Anchor Co AI: No. The bot only answers from what you've given it — your website content, your FAQs, pricing, service areas, whatever you add. If a question falls outside that (something the bot doesn't know), it's honest about it. Instead of guessing, it says “I don't have that info” and asks for their name and contact details so you can follow up personally. It won't make up licensing claims, pricing, or service details. That's the safeguard. Your bot is only as smart as the information you feed it — which means you stay in control of what it says about your business. Honestly the easiest way to see if it works for your business is to just try it. Free plan, no card. anchorcoai.com/signup
