Locksmiths · Missed-call calculator · 30-second estimate
The locksmith who answers first wins the lockout. Ava makes sure that's you.
An emergency lockout caller rings two or three firms and books the first one who picks up. Every missed call is a job — and a customer — going to whoever answered.
Ava answers every call, day or night — so the next lockout becomes your call-out, not someone else's.
Turn that number into booked call-outs.
In a free AI Audit we map where calls slip through, what they cost you, and exactly how Ava recovers them. No pitch, no obligation.
How much does a missed call cost a UK locksmith?
In emergency trades, speed of answer is the product. A missed lockout call is an instant lost job — the caller rings the next number on the list and books within minutes. At £150–£250 per domestic call-out, a handful of missed calls per day adds up to thousands a month going to competitors.
- Lockout callers are in distress and time-pressured — they do not leave voicemails; they dial the next locksmith.
- Evening, weekend, and overnight calls are the highest-intent moments, and the hardest to staff. Ava covers them without overtime.
- Commercial and property-manager accounts begin with one answered call — the relationship that follows is worth far more than a single job.
10-booking guarantee.
If Ava doesn't book at least 10 new appointments in your first 90 days, we refund every penny, then keep working with you for free until you hit 50 bookings. We're so confident, we keep this on the page.

Locksmiths missed-call calculator — common questions
How we estimate
Indicative figure. UK emergency locksmith call-outs average £150–£250 all-in for a standard domestic lockout (Checkatrade / Kingdom Locksmith, June 2026). London rates run higher at £50–£100 call-out fee plus hourly labour. The calculator defaults to £350 as a blended estimate that accounts for the initial call-out plus a modest allowance for repeat domestic business, commercial accounts, or referred jobs — all of which are disproportionately won by the locksmith who answered first in a moment of need. Adjust to your own average.
The calculator multiplies your missed calls by a ~35% warm-lead close rate and your customer lifetime value. A missed call is a warm lead — the caller has a need and is ringing round. Every input is adjustable; the figures shown are an estimate, not a promise.
