[Get early access](mailto:support@lockcommand.com?subject=LockCommand%20early%20access) Answers 24/7 · English and Spanish · $0 payment fees from us ## From the first ring to paid, without picking up Every call follows the same five steps. You can step in at any point, or let LockCommand run the whole thing. 1. 01: **Answer**: The AI picks up on your local number, day and night, with your greeting in English or Spanish. 2. 02: **Quote and book**: It quotes only from your price book, gets the address and the car, and books the job while the caller is on the line. 3. 03: **Dispatch**: The closest qualified tech by live drive time gets a timed offer. No answer moves it to the next tech. 4. 04: **Keep them posted**: The customer gets a text with the arrival time, then another when the tech is on the way. 5. 05: **Get paid**: Send the invoice by text. The customer pays into your own account and gets a receipt.

Solo mobile locksmiths and dispatch shops in the US: a storefront or office that takes calls and sends techs out. It isn't built for other trades. ### Do I keep my business phone number? Yes. LockCommand gives you a local AI number. Forward your business line to it when you want the AI to answer, or put the new number on your ads. You can turn the AI off any time. ### Will the AI make up prices? No. It only quotes the price ranges in your price book, plus the after-hours surcharge you set. If a job isn't in your price book, it says a tech will confirm the price. ### What if a caller wants a real person? The AI transfers the call to the cell number you choose. Calls also go to your cell if you're out of AI minutes or every line is busy, so you never miss a customer. ### What happens when my plan minutes run out? Calls keep being answered and are paid from your wallet credit at a per-minute price that depends on the AI brain you pick. You can add a minutes booster or top up in the app. When the wallet is empty, calls ring through to your cell instead. ## Guides for locksmiths - [Locksmith answering service Voicemail, a human answering service or an AI receptionist: what each one costs a locksmith and what it misses.](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-answering-service) - [After-hours calls How to answer, price and route night and weekend lockout calls without being on the phone all night.](https://lockcommand.com//after-hours-locksmith-calls) - [Locksmith dispatch software What to look for in dispatch software for a locksmith shop, and how LockCommand handles each point.](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-dispatch-software) - [Locksmith invoicing How to invoice on site, take payment before you leave the curb, and keep every job's paperwork together.](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-invoicing) - [How it works What happens from the first ring to the paid receipt, and how a shop gets set up.](https://lockcommand.com//how-it-works) - [Blog Practical guides for running a locksmith business: calls, pricing, proof of ownership and getting paid.](https://lockcommand.com//blog) ## Let the AI pick up.
