For Locksmiths & Emergency Entry

Capture every lockout call — even the ones at 2am

Locksmith work is urgent by definition. When you’re already on a job and can’t answer, Call2SMS texts the caller back in seconds, finds out if they’re locked out right now and where, and sends you the lead.

The problem

Every missed call is a job walking away

When someone’s locked out, they ring locksmith after locksmith until one answers — and whoever responds first gets the job and the emergency rate. If you’re mid-callout and the phone rings out, that high-value lead is gone in seconds.

Call2SMS keeps it with you. The instant a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text in your business name. The AI asks whether it’s an emergency, what’s happened (home, car or business lockout, lost keys, broken lock) and the location — then sends you the lead so you can call back before a rival does.

The smarter option

The modern alternative to a locksmith answering service

A traditional answering service puts a call centre between you and your customers, charges per call or per minute, and ties you into a contract — and they still can’t book the job for you.

Call2SMS does the job that matters: it makes sure no missed caller is ignored. Every unanswered call gets an instant, on-brand text, a real two-way SMS conversation captures the enquiry, and the lead lands on your phone — 24/7, for a fixed low monthly price, with no contract.

Locksmiths — common questions

It’s a 24/7 alternative that costs a fraction of one. Instead of a call centre, Call2SMS instantly texts every missed caller back, checks whether they’re locked out now and where, and sends you the lead. You win the emergency jobs without paying per call or being tied to a contract.

Yes — that’s the point. Call2SMS never sleeps, so a 2am lockout gets an instant text-back and is flagged as urgent in your lead summary, letting you decide on the spot whether to take it.

Yes. The AI asks whether they’re locked out right now, so genuine emergencies are flagged separately from quotes for lock changes or key cutting — you triage at a glance.

No. Keep your existing number with conditional call forwarding so only missed calls reach Call2SMS, or use a fresh UK number we provide.

From £37/month, no contract, with a free trial. A single recovered emergency lockout typically pays for the service for months.
