Fair questions from locksmiths.
Almost all my calls are urgent. Does it still help?
Yes. When a caller says it can't wait, it's texted straight to you with their number. If they hang up before it answers, they get a text back within seconds.
Will it promise an arrival time?
No. It doesn't make promises you didn't make. Urgent jobs come to you to decide.
Will it quote a lockout fee?
Only if the price is in your own price guide. Otherwise it takes the details and you give the price.
