Locked out, ringing everyone. The first one to reply gets the job.
Someone on a doorstep rings five locksmiths in a row and goes with whoever replies. If you are drilling a cylinder on another doorstep, that is not you. LocalWins texts them back in seconds in your business name, gets the postcode and the door, and sends it to you.
How it works
- 1
Sign up and get your number
Two minutes. You get a LocalWins number in your business name and a taster line to try straight away, no card.
- 2
Divert your missed calls
Dial one code on your phone and calls you do not answer go to your LocalWins number. You keep your number and your phone.

Every missed call texted back
Within seconds the caller gets a text in your name asking what they need and where. You get the summary and ring back the right one first.
It does not just text back. It finds out the job, and books it if you want.
Hi, this is Keyline Locksmiths. Sorry we missed your call, we are on a job. Are you locked out?
Yes, front door, key snapped in the lock
We can help with that. Is it a uPVC door or wooden, and what is the postcode?
uPVC. WS2 8JP
Thanks. Jay will ring you back in the next few minutes with a time.
Door type and postcode captured. Jay rang back before the caller had tried the next number.
What it actually fixes
Lockouts go to the fastest reply
Nobody locked out waits for a callback. They ring down the list. A text in seconds keeps them on your line while you finish the job you are on.
Insurance and upgrade work rings in the day
Lock upgrades after a break-in, landlord changes between tenants, commercial master keying. They ring in working hours and go to whoever answers.
Landlords who need you every changeover
Every caller is saved to your own list, so the letting agent who rang once is a number you can go back to.
Every caller saved, reviews asked for
After every job we ask the customer for a Google review from your number, which matters more in this trade than any other, and every caller is kept on your own list with what they needed.

Questions locksmiths ask us
How fast is the text back?
Within a few seconds of the call going unanswered. The caller usually has the text before they have found the next number to try.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and your phone. We give you a second number and you divert missed calls to it with a code you dial once, so the only calls that reach us are the ones you did not answer.
Will customers know it is not me texting?
The text comes from a number in your business name and reads like you wrote it. It asks what the job is and where, tells them you will ring back, and never quotes a price or promises a visit unless you have told it to. You can read every conversation and take over any of them from your phone.
Can it book the job in for me?
Yes, if you want it to. Give us your booking link or your diary details and it offers the caller a slot and books the job or appointment in, with the details on your phone. Without them it captures the job and tells the caller you will ring back.
What about callers on a landline who cannot get a text?
Most callers ring from a mobile and get the text. A landline or withheld caller cannot, so you get an alert with the number to ring back, and if you want, an AI receptionist can answer those callers and take the details instead. Ask us to switch it on.
What does it cost?
Free for 30 days, then £99 a month for Growth, or £199 a month for Growth+ which adds a website we build and look after. No setup fee, nothing per lead, cancel any time before day 30 and you pay nothing.
