Why locksmiths miss calls
Locksmith work is about speed. Lockout callers are standing outside in the cold or the rain and will hang up on voicemail immediately. Your locksmiths are often on the road or mid-job, and every missed lockout call goes to the next listing. Rekeys, lock changes and access-control work are valuable too and deserve a real answer.
CallRail’s 2025 analysis of 1.1M leads found home-services businesses miss 14% of calls (source: CallRail 2025 lead analysis). Every one of those calls can be a job that goes to a competitor.

What we set up for your locksmith phone line
Before launch we load your service towns, your lockout pricing, your ID and proof-of-residence policy, the car makes your mobile techs can open, and your on-call schedule. We also set the wording for emergencies like a child or pet locked in a car, and the rules for commercial accounts and property managers who need lock changes between tenants.
How Eight Eye’s 24/7 AI answering and follow-up fits your business
Eight Eye works alongside your crew and your office. You forward calls after hours, when lines are busy, or all the time, and you keep your existing number. Every call opens with the recording and AI disclosure Massachusetts requires (M.G.L. c. 272 §99). After each call you get a short summary by email (and by text once texting is approved), and jobs land on your calendar, or straight in Jobber or Housecall Pro on the Growth and Pro plans.
The phone is only the start. On Growth and Pro, open estimates and leads get a polite follow-up so they don’t go quiet (by text once texting is approved), and on Pro, customers get a short request to leave an honest review after the job or visit.
We build, test, launch and manage everything for you, with a target of live in 7 days from your intake form, then review call transcripts every week so the answers keep getting better. Plans are month-to-month; see pricing.
