Never miss a locksmith service call in Longueuil

A landlord called this afternoon about a tenant move-out rekey. They needed it before tomorrow's new tenant walked in. You missed the call by ten minutes.
Three things locksmiths push back on
“lockout pricing is sensitive, AI will say the wrong number”
Avidra never quotes a lockout. The AI asks the location, the type of lock, and whether it's a residential or auto lockout. Pricing happens on your callback.
“what if the caller needs immediate dispatch, the bot will delay them”
The first response fires in under five seconds, whether by voice or by SMS. The caller knows you're real and on the way. That's faster than a voicemail rollover, faster than most answering services.
“I'm a one-person shop, I can't take more than 4 calls a day”
Then Avidra filters the inbox for you. You only see the leads that match what you actually work on. Auto lockouts in your service area, rekey requests within driving distance, the bookings that fit your schedule.
How Avidra runs both channels
Step 1 · AI picks up live, or texts back if you miss it
Two channels, one number. AI picks up by voice when it can. Otherwise the SMS text-back runs as a backup.
Step 2 · Qualifies the caller on whichever channel they're on
Same intake script runs on voice or by SMS. The caller is asked the same questions either way.
Step 3 · Transfer to you on call, or summary to your phone
Voice call: transfer to a human when the caller asks. SMS intake: lead summary the moment the conversation closes.
Step 4 · The SMS thread stays open after, so they can text follow-ups
After a voice call ends, the SMS thread stays open. The caller can text follow-up questions and the AI keeps the conversation going.
How you wire it up
Avidra runs two ways. Keep your existing business number and forward to Avidra only when you can't pick up. The caller reaches you first. The AI handles the miss. Or use the Avidra number directly and let AI pick up every call, transferring to you when the caller asks. Most shops start with the first setup. The second works better once you've grown past one person on the phone.
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.
Where Avidra stops
Avidra handles the intake call, the back-and-forth qualifying, and the relay messages you ask it to send to your customers. The phone is the part it owns. The work past it stays with you and 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.
The math on your missed calls
The numbers on a locksmith your size.
7 calls/week missed$150 avg job$1,050 / week$4,550 / month$54,600 / year
73% of callers don't leave a voicemail. They call the next locksmith on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls locksmiths in Longueuil actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Transponder key program for a 2015 Honda. Deadbolt install on a new exterior door. Smart lock install for a short-term rental. Rekey after a tenant move-out. 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. Post-break-in rekey before the homeowner leaves the property. 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.
How setup actually works
Setup is forwarding plus a script. Your existing business number forwards to Avidra so the AI picks up live calls and catches the ones that ring through to voicemail. You edit the default intake script in both directions. Voice and SMS share the same questions.
Most owners are live the same day. The test is a single call from another phone. The AI answers the call, walks the caller through the intake script, and captures the lead. After that, ring busy and watch the text-back fire.
Why speed matters more than channel
The lead is warm for about five minutes after the call. After that, the caller has scrolled to the next name and most likely already dialed. Email lands too slowly to matter for booking decisions made in that first five minutes. A text-back inside seconds keeps the caller engaged through a short intake while you finish the current job. By the time you call back, the lead is qualified and already expecting your voice.
Common questions
Will it work for after-hours auto lockouts?
Yes. After-hours scripts can stay active or pause depending on your preference.
Will it ask for ID before quoting a rekey?
No quoting happens in the intake. ID and authorization are handled on your callback.
Will it quote a lockout price?
No. Avidra is configured to never quote a price for lockouts. Pricing happens on your callback.
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.
What about callers who don't speak English?
The intake supports a configurable second language. Most owners offer English and one other.
