Overview

The all-in-one locksmith services platform for operators who want to grow.

ServeToro is locksmith software built for mobile and emergency work. Dedicated dispatch form for lockouts and after-hours calls, SMS paging to the on-call tech, on-site signature capture, and mobile invoicing so techs get paid the moment the job is finished. Emergency lockout dispatch is the workflow that separates locksmith shops that grow from those that get by: a 2 a.m. car-lockout call needs a tech en route inside five minutes with a hard ETA to the caller. The dispatch board keeps every tech's current location on a live map, SMS-pages the closest available truck, and gives the customer a link with a real-time ETA and the tech's photo before the caller even hangs up. Key-code inventory is a first-class citizen — restricted keyways (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Assa Abloy, Schlage Primus), transponder chips (Toyota G-Chip, GM Passlock, Ford Tibbe), and physical key blanks are tracked per truck with per-code reorder thresholds so the shop knows what's in every van and what's on backorder. Mobile POS runs on the tech's phone: swipe a card, tap Apple Pay, or fire an SMS pay-link and money hits your Stripe account before the tech leaves the customer's driveway — plus a signed invoice PDF and a per-truck cash-drawer report every night. Locksmith software has to work at 3 a.m. in a parking lot with one bar of signal, and this one does.

How to start a locksmith business

Locksmithing is one of the highest-margin same-day niches in field service. Here's the fastest legal launch.

1
1. Get licensed (state-dependent)
Many states require a locksmith license (background check + exam + bonding). Check your state licensing board — some states have none, others require $10-25K bonds.
2
2. Register the business
LLC + EIN + business bank account + $1M general liability + commercial auto (mobile locksmithing = your truck is your shop).
3
3. Buy the mobile shop kit
Pin kits, key-cutting machine (manual or automatic), programming device for transponder keys, lock picks (state-legal), core-boring tools, universal auto opening kit. Budget $8-15K for a fully outfitted starter kit.
4
4. Price emergency + service correctly
$85-125 emergency-service call + labor + hardware is standard. Load a flat-rate menu into ServeToro during the trial.
5
5. Get on Google Local Services immediately
Emergency-lockout searches convert at 20-30%. Pair the ads with ServeToro's booking page + emergency dispatch form.

How to start a locksmith business?

See the guide above. Short version: check state licensing + bonding requirements, LLC + $1M liability + commercial auto, a stocked mobile kit ($8-15K), correct service-call pricing, and Google Local Services ads paired with a booking page.

Does this qualify as 24-hour locksmith software with an on-call rotation?

Yes. 24-hour locksmith software workflows include on-call rotations, SMS paging with live-ETA links, after-hours rate schedules that auto-apply between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., and mobile POS that clears a card the moment the door opens or the fob programs. Emergency lockout dispatch runs from the same board as scheduled residential rekeys.
