🔑 AI Receptionist for Locksmiths

Answer Every Lockout Call — Day or Night, Rain or -30°C

Ava answers every call, triages emergencies, dispatches your techs, and books scheduled services — 24 hours a day across Canada.

Sound Familiar?

Every locksmith faces these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

🔑

Lockout Emergencies Can't Wait

Someone locked out of their car or home in January at -20°C will call every locksmith in the city. The first one to answer gets the job — and the 5-star review.

🌙

After-Hours Calls Lost

Lockouts happen at midnight, on holidays, in snowstorms. If you don't answer 24/7, you're leaving your most profitable jobs on the table.

🔧

Non-Emergency Calls Missed Too

Rekeying, lock upgrades, and safe installations are high-margin jobs that get booked during business hours when you're already on calls. Both suffer.

📋

Dispatch Without Details

Sending a locksmith without knowing the lock type, vehicle make/model, or building access situation wastes time and frustrates clients.

📅

Non-Emergency Booking

Book rekeying, lock upgrades, and installation appointments directly on the call — no callbacks, instant confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Can Ava tell the difference between an emergency lockout and a scheduled service request?
Yes. Ava identifies emergency language (locked out, can't get in, stuck outside) and routes those calls differently than scheduling requests like rekeying or lock installation.
Can Ava ask about the lock type and access situation before dispatching?
Absolutely. You configure the intake questions — lock type, residential vs. commercial, vehicle make/model for car lockouts. Your tech arrives with the right tools.
How does Ava handle clients who are in an unsafe situation?
Ava is configured to first ask about the client's safety, suggest nearby shelter options if needed, and prioritize their dispatch above collecting non-essential details.
Does AVADesk integrate with dispatch software?
AVADesk integrates with Google Calendar and popular CRMs via webhook. Contact us for custom dispatch integrations.
Is customer data stored securely in Canada?
Yes. AVADesk is PIPEDA-compliant and stores all data on Canadian servers.
