Locksmith Website and Job App: Log Every Call, Invoice at the Door

Mythex lets a locksmith build a fast mobile website with the number pinned at the top, a call log that records every caller and the proof of residency checked, invoices sent from the phone before leaving the door, and monthly statements for letting agents. You describe your area and prices in chat, test the live preview and publish with a real database.

What a locksmith needs written down

Most locksmith jobs are won in the first minute of a call from someone standing outside a locked door, often at night, who found you in a search. Those calls are answered from the van, and afterwards there is no record of who called, what they needed or whether it became a job. Entry work carries its own risk: you need to show later that you checked the person lived there. Then there is the planned side of the trade, landlord lock changes, security upgrades and key cutting, which fills quiet weekdays and wants quotes and monthly statements. A locksmith needs the call log, the evidence and the invoice in one place on the phone.

Every call logged, including ones that did not become jobs
Proof of residency or authority recorded for entry work
Call-out, labour and parts on separate invoice lines

Lock and key details stored per property

What you can build for locksmiths

A mobile site for people standing outside a locked door

A tap-to-call number fixed at the top of every page, the towns and postcodes you cover, your call-out fee and a typical lockout price, and a promise to confirm the total before starting. A real address and van photos show you are a local business, not a call centre.

Build a website for my locksmith business that loads fast on mobile with a tap-to-call button fixed at the top. Show the postcodes we cover, the call-out fee and typical prices for a lockout and a lock change, out-of-hours rates, our business address and van photos, and a callback form for non-urgent jobs.

A call log that protects you

Log each caller's name, number, address, job type and time called, even when it does not become a job. For entry work, record the ID or document you checked. Landlords and letting agents group many properties under one contact, and each property keeps its lock and key details.

Make a CRM for my locksmith business. Log every call with name, number, address, job type, time called and outcome (job, quote, no job). For entry jobs, record what proof of residency was checked. Letting agents have many properties, and each property stores lock brand, cylinder size and key details.

Invoices raised on the phone before you leave

Call-out, labour and parts go on separate lines, with out-of-hours rates applied by the time of the job. The invoice reaches the customer's phone at the door with the lock model recorded. Letting agents get one monthly statement listing each property.

Create an invoicing app for my locksmith business that I can use on my phone. Invoices have call-out, labour and parts lines, with an out-of-hours rate after 6pm and at weekends. Record the lock model on each invoice. Letting agents get a monthly statement with one line per property job.

Upgrade quotes with options side by side

Security upgrade quotes are built from lock grades, door types and number of doors, with photos of the existing locks. Basic, standard and high-security options sit side by side with a line on what each protects against. Landlords can get one quote for a whole portfolio.

Build a quote tool for my locksmith business. I choose doors and lock types, attach photos of the current locks, and the quote shows three options (basic, standard, high security) with what each protects against and a total. Allow one quote covering several properties for a landlord.

A fair on-call rota

Overnight on-call duty rotates on a rota published weeks ahead, with a van assigned to each shift. Planned jobs go to the locksmith with the right skills, such as safes or access control, and swaps are easy when someone is stuck across town.

Make a scheduling app for my locksmiths. An overnight on-call rota rotates fairly and is published 6 weeks ahead, each shift has a van, planned jobs are assigned by skill (safes, access control, uPVC), and locksmiths can request swaps.

When the calls come and which ones you win

Chart calls by hour and day against jobs won, split emergency from planned work, and see revenue by job type and where each call came from. It tells you whether a second on-call locksmith would pay for itself.

Build a dashboard for my locksmith business: calls by hour of day and day of week against jobs won, emergency versus planned jobs, revenue by job type (lockout, lock change, key cutting, upgrade), and calls by source (search, agent, repeat).

What to set up on day one

Put the mobile website live with honest prices first, since it is where the calls start. Then start the call log on your phone and use it for every call for two weeks, including the ones you turn down. Add invoicing next so the job record and the bill are the same thing. Letting agent accounts and the on-call rota can follow.

Records you will be glad to have

Entry jobs are occasionally questioned by a landlord, a partner or the police. A dated note of who called, the address, and the ID or document you saw, added at the door, is the simplest protection you have. Keep it in the job record, not in your memory. The rules on what you must check and keep where you work are yours to follow.

Questions

Can I log calls and invoice from my phone?

Yes. The published app works in your phone's browser, and on Pro you can also get Android and iPhone apps that open it. Log the call, then turn it into an invoice at the door.

Can customers pay on the spot?

Yes, if you connect your own payment provider such as Stripe and add a pay link to the invoice. Card readers you already use stay separate.

Can letting agents get one bill a month?

Yes. Group jobs under the agent's account and generate a monthly statement with a line per property address.

Do I have to know how to code?

No. Tell Mythex in plain words what you need and it builds it. Changes are made the same way.

Is it free?

Building and publishing is free on the Free plan, with no card and daily credits. Pro is $25/month and adds your own domain, code editing and export.
