Voice AI for Locksmith Businesses White Label
Locksmith businesses lose 35-50% of emergency calls during lockouts because technicians are in the field. White-label voice AI lets agencies capture this high-urgency vertical with 24/7 automated call handling.
Locksmiths operate in a unique niche: calls are almost always urgent, callers are often distressed, and response speed directly determines revenue. For agencies looking to serve home services verticals, locksmith businesses represent a high-value opportunity with clear pain points that voice AI solves immediately.
Which Trillet product fits your agency model?
Agencies reselling to locksmiths: Trillet White-Label - Studio $99/month or Agency $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts)

Why Locksmiths Are a High-Value Agency Vertical
Locksmith businesses have characteristics that make them ideal voice AI clients: high call volume, urgent callers, and revenue tied directly to phone responsiveness.
The average locksmith receives 8-15 calls per day, with 60-70% occurring outside business hours or while technicians are on jobs. Each missed emergency lockout call represents $150-350 in lost revenue. For a locksmith missing just 3 calls daily, that translates to $135,000-380,000 in annual lost revenue.
This creates a straightforward ROI conversation for agencies: voice AI at $297-497/month (typical agency pricing) pays for itself if it captures even one additional emergency call per week.
What Locksmith Businesses Need from Voice AI
Locksmith callers have specific requirements that agencies must address when configuring voice AI agents:
Emergency prioritization: Callers locked out of cars, homes, or businesses need immediate confirmation that help is coming. The AI must recognize urgency language ("locked out," "emergency," "stranded") and respond appropriately.
Location capture: Accurate address collection is critical. The AI needs to confirm street addresses, cross streets, and landmarks since locksmiths dispatch based on proximity.
Service qualification: Not all calls are emergencies. The AI should distinguish between lockout emergencies, lock rekeying requests, and security system inquiries to route appropriately.
ETA communication: Callers want to know when help will arrive. The AI should provide realistic timeframes based on service area or connect to dispatch systems.
Price quoting: Locksmiths often provide rough estimates over the phone. The AI can quote standard service ranges while noting that final pricing depends on lock type and complexity.
How Agencies Configure Voice AI for Locksmiths
Setting up a locksmith voice AI agent through Trillet's white-label platform follows a straightforward process:
Website scraping: Paste the locksmith's website URL and Trillet automatically extracts service areas, pricing, hours, and service types to train the agent
Emergency flow setup: Configure the agent to recognize lockout keywords and prioritize these calls for immediate dispatch notification
SMS dispatch alerts: Set up instant text notifications to the locksmith or dispatch team with caller details and location
Calendar integration: Connect to scheduling systems for non-emergency appointments like lock rekeying or security consultations
After-hours routing: Configure different responses for business hours vs. emergency-only overnight coverage
The entire setup takes under 30 minutes per client, allowing agencies to onboard locksmith clients quickly.
Pricing Voice AI Services to Locksmiths
Agencies typically price locksmith voice AI services using one of three models:
Flat monthly retainer: $297-497/month for unlimited calls. This works well for established locksmiths with predictable call volume. At Trillet's $0.09/minute cost, agencies maintain 50-70% margins even with heavy usage.
Per-call pricing: $3-5 per call handled. This appeals to smaller locksmiths hesitant about monthly commitments. Agencies track calls through Trillet's dashboard and invoice accordingly.
Tiered packages: Base package covers business hours; premium package adds 24/7 coverage. This lets agencies upsell as locksmiths see results.
Most agencies find the flat retainer model works best for locksmiths because emergency call volume is unpredictable, and locksmiths prefer cost certainty.
Addressing Locksmith Objections
When selling voice AI to locksmiths, agencies encounter common objections:
"My customers need to talk to a real person": Explain that the AI handles initial intake, captures critical information, and immediately alerts the locksmith. The locksmith can call back within minutes with all details already collected.
"What if the AI makes a mistake with the address?": Trillet's AI confirms addresses by reading them back and asking for cross streets. SMS confirmations also let callers verify details in writing.
"I already use an answering service": Compare costs. Traditional answering services charge $1.50-3.00 per call. At typical call volumes, voice AI costs 60-80% less while providing 24/7 coverage without hold times.
"My business is too small": The smallest locksmiths often benefit most. Solo operators cannot answer phones during jobs. Even capturing 2-3 additional calls weekly justifies the investment.
