Every missed call is a lost $200+ job
When a customer is locked out of their car at midnight, they don't leave voicemails. They call the next locksmith on the list until someone picks up. If you're on another job, driving to a site, or sleeping, that revenue goes straight to your competitor.
Marlie's locksmith answering service picks up every call in under 2 seconds, around the clock. We screen for emergencies, capture the caller's location and situation, dispatch your on-call techs, and handle routine inquiries like pricing and scheduling automatically.
By collecting key details upfront — lockout type, vehicle or property info, caller location, and urgency — Marlie ensures your technicians arrive prepared and your dispatch stays organized.

What can a locksmith answering service handle for your business?
From midnight lockouts to commercial rekey requests, Marlie manages your calls so you can focus on the job in front of you.
Emergency lockout dispatch
When a customer calls about a car lockout, home lockout, or broken key, every minute counts. Marlie captures the caller's location, vehicle or property details, and situation, then dispatches your nearest available technician immediately — no delays, no missed revenue.
Service scheduling and estimates
Not every call is an emergency. For lock changes, rekeying, safe installations, and security upgrades, Marlie books appointments directly into your calendar based on your availability — keeping your schedule full without interrupting active jobs.
After-hours and overnight coverage
Lockouts happen at 2 AM, not 2 PM. Our AI agent for locksmith businesses ensures every overnight and weekend call is answered instantly, emergencies are dispatched to on-call techs, and non-urgent requests are queued with full details for the next business day.
Pricing and service area questions
Train Marlie to answer common questions about your rates, service areas, response times, and the types of locks and security systems you work with. Callers get immediate, accurate answers instead of voicemail — building trust before your tech even arrives.
