What a missed call costs a Montreal locksmith
Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
The phone rings during a transponder programming on a 2015 Honda. You can't break off mid-program. The caller leaves a vague voicemail about a lockout and you call back in twenty minutes. They booked someone else in five.
What Avidra does
Avidra answers your phone with AI voice the moment a call lands. The caller hears a real voice. You get a structured lead summary on your phone, the same way a text would arrive.
The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the callers are in your inbox before you do.
Where the math breaks even
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one locksmith lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
Two ways to set it up
Two setup paths. Path one is forwarding: your existing business number stays the front door, calls ring to your phone, and Avidra only catches the unanswered ones. Path two is direct: the Avidra number is the front door, AI picks up every call live, and it transfers to your cell when the caller asks for a human. Most one-truck shops use path one. Larger shops with reception coverage usually move to path two.
Free tier includes both. AI voice and SMS text-back are both in the $0 floor, so neither pickup mode costs extra.
Where Avidra stops
Avidra handles the intake call, the back-and-forth qualifying, and the relay messages you ask it to send to your customers. The phone is the part it owns. The work past it stays with you and your existing tools.
It never quotes a lockout price. It doesn't verify ID. It doesn't dispatch a tech. The text captures location and lock type. Everything else happens on your callback.

73% of callers don't leave a voicemail. They call the next locksmith on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls locksmiths in Montreal actually take
The calls that land most often go something like this. Master key system for a small office. Deadbolt install on a new exterior door. Residential lockout at the front door. Transponder key program for a 2015 Honda. Each one is a job you'd close if you could pick up the phone.
After-hours patterns are tighter. The urgency is higher and the timeline is shorter. Post-break-in rekey before the homeowner leaves the property. Commercial lockout before opening shift. Whoever answers first books it. Everyone else gets the voicemail tone.
What the year looks like
Lockouts spike in summer (slammed-door season) and after long weekends. Rekey work is steady year-round with a small bump in moving season May through August.
Most locksmiths can predict the peaks. The trick is keeping pickup steady through them. Avidra doesn't surge-price during your busy weeks and doesn't go quiet during the slow ones.
Getting Avidra answering your phone
Setup is two minutes. You connect your business number to Avidra, either by porting it or by setting your existing line to ring the Avidra number. The AI picks up from then on. You edit the default intake script to sound like your office, and the first real call uses your voice and your business name.
Most owners are live before lunch on the day they sign up. The honest test is to call your own line and have the AI answer. The questions land. The summary fires. You see the intake on your phone.
Why live pickup beats voicemail
Voicemail is where service leads go to die. A homeowner who hits voicemail at 7pm and gets a callback at 9am has already booked the next name on the list. Avidra picks up live, so the conversation starts in the first ring. By the time the caller would have hung up on voicemail, the AI has already captured the caller's name and address along with the basics of the call. The follow-up callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Montreal
Montreal winters keep the call volume up. Cold weather doesn't slow the inbox. Calls come from Plateau-Mont-Royal and from across Montreal. The phone doesn't care about postal codes.
Common questions
What about callers who don't speak English?
The intake supports a configurable second language. Most owners offer English and one other.
Will it work for after-hours auto lockouts?
Yes. After-hours scripts can stay active or pause depending on your preference.
Can it differentiate residential, commercial, and auto lockouts?
Yes. The first question branches the intake based on lockout type.
Can it book a commercial master-key consultation?
It captures the request. The site visit and consultation are yours.
Can it filter out scam calls?
Scam callers usually don't reply to the text. Avidra captures only callers who responded with real intake answers.
