For locksmiths
The best AI receptionist
for locksmiths.
Emergency lockouts pay premium, but only if you answer.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A 2am lockout is the highest-margin call your phone will ever ring with.
Picture the call. It's 1.47am. Someone's just realised they don't have their keys. Maybe a cab home, maybe a baby asleep on the doorstep step. They're searching "24 hour locksmith near me" and tapping every single result, top to bottom.
The first locksmith answers on the fourth ring, says he can be there in 40 minutes, £180 call-out. Booked. The second locksmith would have charged £160 and been ten minutes closer, but he was asleep. He woke up to a missed call and a Trustpilot review that didn't get written.
Foan answers in two seconds. Asks for the postcode, the lock type if known, whether anyone's vulnerable in the situation. Books the call-out. Texts you with everything you need to grab a kit and drive. You wake up to one notification, not seven missed calls.
Locksmith call volume is feast-or-famine but the average ticket is the highest in the trades. Pick up half the after-hours calls you currently miss and you've doubled your monthly take-home.
Typical locksmith misses 3–5 emergency calls a week, average ticket £180–£300. Even three at £180 is £2,160 a month. Foan costs £49.
Works the same for car lockouts, safe drilling, lock replacements, and the daytime book-ahead jobs that pay the rent.
