- On the customer’s phone, before the truck rolls
Priced from a book you build yourself.
Locksmith quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for locksmith companies, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
01
Emergency lockouts
Routed to the nearest truck with an ETA the customer can see: the minutes that decide who gets the job.
02
Commercial access
Recurring inspections, SLA terms, and renewals for the accounts that pay every month, with the work documented per site.
03
Automotive
VIN and ownership verified before dispatch, and the documentation kept on the job record.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Locksmith · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
Instant dispatch or no job
A lockout customer on the curb does not wait for a call back.
Key codes in spreadsheets
Security-sensitive records in a shared file are a liability, not a system.
Commercial wants proof
Access-control clients expect documented work and scheduled reports, not an invoice and a wave.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
Straight answers
What locksmith companies ask.
What does Thorbis cost for locksmith companies?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the locksmith job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for locksmith companies specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For locksmith companies that means emergency lockouts, commercial access, and automotive, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are locksmith jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
