A locked door can't wait. Lorela takes the call.

A customer is standing outside a locked door and you're elbow-deep in another job. Lorela is an AI assistant for locksmiths: she takes the calls you can't get to, writes down the situation and the address given and sends you a summary by email or in the app.

Updated November 8, 2026

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up forwarding once

    Dial a short code on your phone's keypad and the calls you don't answer go to the Lorela number. The number on your cards and your truck stays yours.

  2. 2

    Your phone still rings first

    You take calls as usual. Lorela steps in when you have your hands in a lock on another job and can't stop.

  3. 3

    A summary after the call

    Who called, what address and how urgent it is - by email or in the app.

Frequently asked questions

Does she quote the caller a rough price for the visit?

No, she doesn't quote or guess a price. She takes the details and passes them to you, and you agree the price of the job yourself.

How does it work at night in an emergency?

She takes the call at night too and sends a summary of what the caller said. She doesn't confirm a visit or an arrival time herself; you arrange the next step.

Does she get the exact address?

When the caller gives it, she writes it down and repeats it back once to check. If the address is incomplete or unclear, verify it before you head out.
