Lockouts are mostly impulse calls. The renter has already pulled the door handle four times and they need a human on the line right now. Three locksmiths got the call. You were the second.
When the phone rings and you can't
Your hands are inside a deadbolt. The phone is across the room on the workbench.
What Avidra does
Avidra is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.
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.
How Avidra answers your missed calls
Step 1 · Missed call detected
A missed call to your business number lights up Avidra automatically. The first SMS fires before the caller has put their phone down.
Step 2 · SMS qualifier
The intake is configurable. By default it asks the caller's name, the property address, what's going on, and how soon they need someone. You can edit the script to add or cut any of those.
Step 3 · Job summary to your phone
The qualifying answers land in your inbox as a clean lead summary. No app to open. No dashboard to check.
Step 4 · You decide when to call back
The caller stays in the loop while you finish your current job. A polite reminder fires if too much time passes.
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.
Both pickup modes run on the Free tier. AI voice answering and SMS text-back are included at $0, with 30 voice minutes a month.
The phone end of your shop
Avidra owns the phone end of your shop. It picks up calls, runs the qualifier, captures the job, and relays the messages you ask it to send. Everything past the phone stays with you. Pricing, scheduling, dispatch, billing all live in 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 Regina actually take
You probably recognize these patterns by now. Master key system for a small office. Deadbolt install on a new exterior door. Residential lockout at the front door. Car lockout in a parking lot. Each is the same opportunity. The phone is the bottleneck.
After hours, the calls shift. The patience is shorter and the stakes are higher. Commercial lockout before opening shift. Lockout at 2am with no other key holder reachable. Fast pickup is the difference between the job and a callback that never gets returned.
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.
Volume changes by season. Pickup rate shouldn't. Avidra fires the text-back the same way in February as it does in July, on a slow Tuesday or during a heat-advisory week.
Setup is short
Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.
Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.
The five-second window
Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Regina
Regina winters keep the call volume up. Cold weather doesn't slow the inbox.
Common questions
What if a caller is locked out and panicking?
The intake acknowledges the urgency in the first reply and asks the location and lock type. You see the lead in real time.
What about callers who don't speak English?
The intake supports a configurable second language. Most owners offer English and one other.
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.
Will it work for after-hours auto lockouts?
Yes. After-hours scripts can stay active or pause depending on your preference.
