LYCORE
Answering service for locksmiths: an AI receptionist that answers lockout calls, captures the location, and hands your technician a callback request.
Someone locked out of their car or home at night is calling every locksmith they can find, and they book the first one who picks up. An AI receptionist answers every call, captures where they are and what is locked, checks your service area and gives your technician a clear callback request.
These example workflows show what LYCORE can scope for your business. Software connections, permissions and exception rules are checked before the build is agreed.
Follow-up uses approved channels, contact permissions, quiet hours and opt-out rules. A reply, cancellation or opt-out stops or changes the sequence. Sensitive details stay out of routine texts and emails.
These are proposed measures, not achieved results. Agree the reporting period and data source before launch. Missing records stay unknown, not zero; small samples and incomplete tracking are reported.
LYCORE checks connection options and agrees the build, software costs, testing and support scope before work starts.

LYCORE's AI receptionist answers in your business name, captures exactly where the caller is and what is locked, and passes your technician a callback request. It runs at any hour, when a lockout is most likely to happen.
Locksmith calls have a shape. A car lockout or a home lockout is urgent, and the caller is often outside and stressed. A rekey after a move, a lock change or a quote for a commercial job can wait for a callback. There are also calls that look like leads but are not, such as callers outside your area, price shoppers, and wrong numbers.
Invoca, a call analytics company, reports that 27% of calls to home-services businesses go unanswered, and that fewer than 3% of callers sent to voicemail leave a message. A locked-out caller with a phone that is running out of charge is not going to leave a message and wait. They will call the next locksmith on the list.
There is also the caller who cannot describe where they are. The receptionist keeps asking for a landmark, a cross street or a business name until you have a place to send someone, and it tells the caller who will call back.
The receptionist answers with your business name and says it is an AI assistant. It captures name, number and reason on every call, and for a lockout the priority is the location. It asks for an address, cross streets or a landmark, and asks whether the caller is somewhere they feel safe.
It then asks what is locked and the details you have approved for that job. If a caller asks for a person, it says so and hands over instead of guessing.
You receive a callback request with the location, the lock context, the urgency under your rules and what the caller was told. Price and arrival time are confirmed by you or your technician, not by the receptionist.
Nights and weekends are when locksmith phones ring, and they are also when you are asleep or on another lockout. The receptionist answers at any hour, so the caller talks to your business rather than a voicemail box.
For urgent lockouts, live transfer to your on-call technician is included where your phone setup supports it. You approve the transfer rules and what happens if nobody answers: a second number, then a full callback request marked urgent and a notification to you. Those paths are tested with real call scenarios before launch.
You decide the service-area rules. A caller outside your area can be told so politely and, if you like, pointed elsewhere. If a caller says a child or an animal is locked in a vehicle, you can approve wording that tells them to contact emergency services first while the call is flagged for you.
Price, arrival time, whether to take a job and how to verify the caller stay with you. If your policy is that the technician confirms ownership on arrival, you can approve wording that tells the caller so. The receptionist does not decide who is a legitimate customer.
Callers will often ask how much and how long before anything else. The receptionist tells them your technician will confirm both, and captures what is needed to do that fast. It does not invent a figure or an arrival time.
Locksmith work also draws calls you may not want, from suspicious requests to callers who cannot say where they are or what they own. Those decisions stay with you, and the summary gives you what you need to make them.
Locksmiths often dispatch by phone and text, or use a job app such as Jobber or Housecall Pro. LYCORE does not claim a native integration with any of them. What can be connected depends on your tools and is checked before a build is agreed.
If nothing can be connected, the callback request goes to the phone or inbox you name, and you take it from there. For a solo technician the most useful summary is often the shortest one: location, lock, urgency and a number that works.
Agree your measures before launch and review them after the first weeks. They are measures to agree, not promised results, and outcomes are never guaranteed.
Call recording and consent requirements are reviewed during setup. Try the receptionist with the Test our AI agent widget, then book a free review on the booking page.
No automated access approval, identity verification conclusion, entry instructions or guaranteed response time.
AI Answering Service & Receptionist Missed Call Text Back Service CRM Automation After-Hours Answering Service IntegrationsNo. Verifying who is entitled to the service stays with your technician. The receptionist can ask what you approve and, if it is your policy, tell the caller that ownership will be confirmed on arrival.
No. Your technician or office confirms both. The receptionist tells the caller who will follow up and captures what is needed.
Yes, using the service area you set. It can politely tell those callers you do not cover them, and the summary shows which calls it declined so you can check.
You approve the wording for that situation in advance. Typically it tells the caller to contact emergency services first, and it flags the call as urgent for you at the same time.
It says up front that it is an AI assistant, and callers who want a person can ask for one. Live transfer to your on-call technician is included where your phone setup supports it.
No long-term contract is required. Cost depends on call volume and what you want it to do, so pricing is quoted on a call after a free review, with no pressure and no obligation.
Lockout request to technician: Capture the location, contact number and broad lock or vehicle context; check the configured service area and notify the assigned technician. Non-urgent quote callback: Create a callback task with the property type and requested work; send a minimal acknowledgement. These are configurable examples, subject to a review of your software and business rules.
No automated access approval, identity verification conclusion, entry instructions or guaranteed response time.
