Why locksmiths lose emergencies without realising it

Emergency locksmithing is ruthless: whoever answers first wins it all.

01

The first to pick up wins

Locked out at 2 am: the panicking customer rings ten locksmiths in a row. Whoever answers within thirty seconds gets the job. Miss the call and, as far as they’re concerned, you simply don’t exist.

1 missed night call-out = €180–250 for someone else

02

The doubt that makes them hang up

Burned by €800 bills for a simple lock-out, customers are wary. If nobody answers to give them a clear price, they move on to the next locksmith — the one who reassures them straight away.

No instant answer, and their trust goes elsewhere

03

“Mijn sleutel is gebroken” — “My key has snapped”

A large share of Brussels callers start in Dutch, and many others in English. Faced with a locksmith who only answers in French, a customer in distress doesn’t hang around: they hang up and call a competitor who speaks their language.

Dutch-speaking Brussels slips out of your reach

04

Nights and weekends, you’re asleep

Friday 11 pm, Saturday 3 am, Sunday 6 pm: rates go up and demand soars. With nobody to answer and take down the request, your competitor cashes in while you recharge.

8–12 weekend emergencies a month captured by others

A 24/7 human answering service costs thousands of euros a month — and doesn’t speak Dutch at 3 am.

AlloBob picks up within 10 seconds, reassures, logs, follows up and books appointments — nights and weekends included, in three languages.

From €67/month. Win back a single night-time call-out and it has already paid for itself.

Features

AlloBob for locksmiths, in practice

An AI receptionist built for a locksmith’s daily reality: emergencies, several languages, transparent prices.

Answers in under 10 seconds

Every call is answered immediately, day and night. A customer locked out of their home won’t tolerate any wait: that’s your number-one edge over competitors who call back five minutes later.

Logs everything and keeps track for you

Every call becomes a written summary sent to your phone and by email. Emergencies and non-urgent appointments appear on a clear board — to call back, on the way, pending, done — so nothing gets lost in the night.

Transparent prices and appointments in your calendar

“Locked out: €150 during the day, €220 at night, all-inclusive.” A reassured customer stops shopping around. Non-urgent requests are booked straight into your Google or Microsoft calendar.

Trilingual EN / FR / NL and emergency triage

AlloBob detects the language and switches instantly between French, Dutch and English. It tells a real emergency (“locked out with a child inside?”) from a simple lock change, and prioritises accordingly.

Real call scenarios

Here’s how AlloBob handles your calls, day or night, in English and in Dutch.

Locked out — panicking caller — 2:30 am

Caller (EN): “Hello?! I’m locked out, the door slammed shut behind me!”

AlloBob: “I understand, that’s stressful. Are you completely locked out, with your keys inside?”

Caller: “Yes, everything’s inside — I’m standing in the hallway in my pyjamas!”

AlloBob: “Marc can be there in 20 minutes. The night rate for a lock-out is €220, all-inclusive. Shall I send him?”

→ Text + job card: NIGHT EMERGENCY — Locked out — Keys inside — Ixelles — €220 accepted — LEAVE NOW

Key snapped in the lock — Dutch-speaking caller — Saturday 2 pm

Caller (NL): “Hallo, mijn sleutel is gebroken in het slot!” (Hello, my key has snapped in the lock!)

AlloBob (NL): “Dag! Kunt u de deur nog openen of zit de sleutel vast?” (Hello! Can you still open the door, or is the key stuck?)

Caller: “De sleutel zit vast, ik kan niet binnen.” (The key’s stuck, I can’t get in.)

AlloBob: “Marc kan binnen 30 minuten bij u zijn. Weekendtarief: 180 €. Is dat akkoord?” (Marc can be with you within 30 minutes. Weekend rate: €180. Is that OK?)

→ Weekend emergency captured, Dutch-speaking customer served in Dutch, summary sent and €180 secured
