For UK locksmiths
Emergency call-outs invoiced before you've left the doorstep
Locksmithing is reactive work: lockouts, break-in repairs and lock changes that need pricing on the spot and invoicing on the day. Tradie Business Base gives you a saved rate card for call-outs, out-of-hours and parts, invoices you can send from the van, and a customer record for the landlords and agents who use you every month.
Price call-outs on the doorstep and take payment on the spot.
All 10 tools · Nothing to pay for 7 days · from £9 a month after · Cancel any time
The admin problems locksmiths tell us about
Out-of-hours rates applied inconsistently
Save evening, weekend and bank-holiday rates as presets so every call-out is charged the same way.
Parts markup guessed
Price cylinders, mechanisms and handles with a set markup so stock on the van always earns its keep.
Letting agents need monthly invoicing
Keep each agent as a customer with every property visit logged, then invoice the month in one go.

Locksmiths — common questions
- Can I invoice on the spot after a lockout?
- Yes — create and email the invoice from your phone, and mark it paid as soon as the card payment clears.
- Does it handle landlord and agent accounts?
- Yes — agents get their own record with a full visit history, so monthly statements take minutes.
