AI phone receptionist for locksmiths in Coquitlam

Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee

The phone rings during a transponder programming on a 2015 Honda. You can't break off mid-program. The caller leaves a vague voicemail about a lockout and you call back in twenty minutes. They booked someone else in five.

When the phone rings and you can't

You're on an auto lockout in a mall parking lot and the desk phone goes to voicemail.

What Avidra does

Avidra answers your phone with AI voice the moment a call lands. The caller hears a real voice. You get a structured lead summary on your phone, the same way a text would arrive.

The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the callers are in your inbox before you do.

How Avidra answers your calls

Step 1 · AI picks up
The first thing the caller hears is the AI receptionist saying who you are. No menu, no 'press 1 for sales.'
Step 2 · Qualifies the caller live
The AI walks the caller through the questions you'd ask. Configurable per trade, per shop, per script.
Step 3 · Transfers to you when they ask, or summarizes when they don't
Transfer on request: 'can I talk to Mike?' routes to Mike's cell. No transfer, and the AI wraps the call with the lead captured.
Step 4 · Lead summary lands on your phone
You get a text recap of the call within seconds of it ending. Same lead-summary format as the SMS-only setup.

Pick a pickup mode

You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.

Both pickup modes run on the Free tier. AI voice answering and SMS text-back are included at $0, with 30 voice minutes a month.

The phone end of your shop

Avidra owns the phone end of your shop. It picks up calls, runs the qualifier, captures the job, and relays the messages you ask it to send. Everything past the phone stays with you. Pricing, scheduling, dispatch, billing all live in your existing tools.

It never quotes a lockout price. It doesn't verify ID. It doesn't dispatch a tech. The text captures location and lock type. Everything else happens on your callback.

Calls locksmiths in Coquitlam actually take

Here's what your line catches on a normal week. Smart lock install for a short-term rental. Transponder key program for a 2015 Honda. Master key system for a small office. Deadbolt install on a new exterior door. Each one is a job you'd close if you could pick up the phone.

After-hours patterns are tighter. The urgency is higher and the timeline is shorter. Lockout at 2am with no other key holder reachable. Commercial lockout before opening shift. Whoever answers first books it. Everyone else gets the voicemail tone.

What the year looks like

Lockouts spike in summer (slammed-door season) and after long weekends. Rekey work is steady year-round with a small bump in moving season May through August.

Most locksmiths can predict the peaks. The trick is keeping pickup steady through them. Avidra doesn't surge-price during your busy weeks and doesn't go quiet during the slow ones.

Getting Avidra answering your phone

Setup is two minutes. You connect your business number to Avidra, either by porting it or by setting your existing line to ring the Avidra number. The AI picks up from then on. You edit the default intake script to sound like your office, and the first real call uses your voice and your business name.

Most owners are live before lunch on the day they sign up. The honest test is to call your own line and have the AI answer. The questions land. The summary fires. You see the intake on your phone.

Why live pickup beats voicemail

Voicemail is where service leads go to die. A homeowner who hits voicemail at 7pm and gets a callback at 9am has already booked the next name on the list. Avidra picks up live, so the conversation starts in the first ring. By the time the caller would have hung up on voicemail, the AI has already captured the caller's name and address along with the basics of the call. The follow-up callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.

Common questions

Will it ask for ID before quoting a rekey?

No quoting happens in the intake. ID and authorization are handled on your callback.

What about callers who don't speak English?

The intake supports a configurable second language. Most owners offer English and one other.

Will it work for after-hours auto lockouts?

Yes. After-hours scripts can stay active or pause depending on your preference.

What about rekey requests?

Rekey intake captures the number of doors, lock types, and the reason for the rekey.

Can it filter out scam calls?

Scam callers usually don't reply to the text. Avidra captures only callers who responded with real intake answers.
