On the ground
Phone challenges for locksmiths
The details vary by industry. The pattern is the same: the phone rings precisely when your team is already busy.
Lockouts: capture location and call reason first
Home lockout, broken key or damaged lock: collect the details required by your workflow before callback or transfer.
Priority calls: use your criteria, not a generic script
You define which situations trigger transfer or on-call routing. Other requests remain structured for follow-up.
Quotes and planned work need a separate path
Rekeys, lock upgrades and non-urgent work can follow a different workflow with the details your team needs.
Service area and after hours: filter before dispatching attention
Location, coverage area and time of day can be part of the rules that determine the next action.

AI answering service for locksmiths: FAQ
How do I handle a locksmith service call while I am already on a job?
Forward calls to Kalyvox. The assistant captures the details configured for that call reason and then follows your transfer, callback or notification rule.
Can Kalyvox separate priority lockouts from quote requests?
You define the call reasons and priority criteria. Kalyvox applies the matching workflow to the answers collected rather than deciding urgency on its own.
Can selected calls be transferred to my cell or on-call technician?
Yes. Calls matching your criteria can be transferred to the configured number, with a fallback if nobody answers.
Can it communicate my pricing?
It can communicate pricing information you explicitly configured. Work that requires assessment remains routed to your team.
Can it filter calls outside my service area?
Yes, when your workflow collects the location or ZIP code and includes a rule for requests outside your coverage area.
Can it answer nights and weekends?
Yes. Calls forwarded to Kalyvox can use different after-hours rules from those used during the business day.
Important: Kalyvox answers, qualifies and routes calls. It does not dispatch technicians, verify identity or property ownership, and does not replace your own vetting procedures for emergency callouts.
