Locksmith · Job management

The locksmith job, start to paid, on one record.

Job management for locksmith companies: the timeline, photos, change orders, and progress payments on the same record the board runs on, so nothing about the job lives in a text thread.

The work

The jobs that need a record.

  • 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.

  • One record, end to end

    When the scope, the money, and the paperwork live in different places, things fall through. Here they are one object with one history.

  • Change orders that bill themselves

    Added scope is captured on site, approved by the customer (optionally signed) and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value automatically.

  • Proof, not a pile of notes

    Photos, checklists, and signatures attach to the job as it runs. Closeout means billing-ready documentation, not an archaeology project.

Locksmith · Job management

Built where the floor is torn up.

Phases, crews, and materials tracked from the same record the same-day board runs on.

The old way

What the group text 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

    Progress payments

    Deposits, milestone draws, and retainage: the long job billed by stage, from the same record that runs it.

  • 02

    Field forms

    Custom checklists, inspections, and sign-offs built by you, captured on the job, enforced before closeout where you say so.

  • 03

    Made for the whole team

    The tech sees the work, the office sees the money, the owner sees the risk (schedule drift, missing proof, margin pressure) without asking anyone.

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 job management a separate module?

    No. Jobs & work orders 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 bill a job in stages?

    Yes. Progress payments cover deposits, milestones, and retainage instead of one invoice at the end.

  • How do change orders work?

    Capture the added scope, get customer approval (with a signature if you want one), and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value.

  • Can I build my own forms?

    Yes. Custom field forms are captured on the job record and can be required before closeout.
