Custom systems / Locksmiths
Custom business systems for locksmiths
Locksmith work is won by whoever answers first, at whatever hour. The emergency pays once. The steady money is lock changes between tenancies, and letting agents give that work to whoever makes it easy for them.
Your week
The 11pm lockout you slept through
A text arrives at 11pm: locked out, keys inside, please ring. You are asleep, and by morning they have used the other locksmith on the search results. The callout pays once. The lock changes between tenancies pay all year, and the letting agent whose tenant you would have helped that night has still never heard your name.
Who we would contact for you
The people we would ring on your behalf
We build this list from your area and the work you want, inside a radius you set. You approve every batch before anything goes out.
Letting agents
Every branch near you. Tenancy lock changes, rekeying between lets and the access problems they get at 5pm on a Friday.
Estate agents
Vendors locked out of their own sale, snapped keys at completion, access before viewing days.
Property management companies
Void properties that need securing the same day, and access control on managed blocks.
Housing associations and hostels
Rekeying after evictions and voids, on account terms, at a volume domestic work never reaches.
What the outreach would say
An example of what goes out
First message, sent under your name
"Morning [name], I'm a locksmith working around [town]: lockouts, snapped keys, tenancy changes. When a tenant hands back a set of keys that don't work, or you need a property rekeyed the same day between lets, who do you ring? I do the lock changes for a couple of agents locally and I can usually get there the same day."
Nothing goes out without you. You see the list, the wording and the replies, and the conversation stays yours.
Your maths
One sentence, in your numbers
Tenancy lock changes pay for the build inside a fortnight of full weeks. After that, one lock change a month keeps the yearly fee covered.
What it looks like in the system
Your outreach call list
The list starts with the businesses nearest your base, and every call is logged with an outcome so nothing gets lost and nobody gets called twice by mistake.

Where work gets lost
The four ways this trade leaks money
Emergency work pays once and arrives at any hour, so the week gets shaped by chance rather than bookings.
Missed calls at 11pm are lost forever. The caller just rings the next locksmith.
Commercial and landlord account work pays regularly, but one-off callouts dominate the week.
No record of which let is due a lock change, so the repeat work is pitched from scratch every time.
How the system brings in more work
Growth, first
Built around who this trade actually sells to.
- Automated outreach to letting agents and property managers about tenancy lock changes.
- A cold call list of local agencies, estate agents and property companies.
- Fast response, so urgent jobs come to you.
- Automatic follow-up with previous customers and commercial accounts.
