AI for Locksmiths

A locksmith's best work arrives at awkward moments: a lockout call while you're mid-job, a customer with no cash at midnight, a door you're asked to open for someone who may not live there. These ideas cover answering every call, getting paid before you leave, recording each entry check, and the reviews, reports and letting agent paperwork that bring repeat work.
