Who you are · Controllers · Locksmith

The locksmith books should reconcile themselves.

Whoever holds a locksmith shop’s books (controller, bookkeeper, the owner’s spouse at a kitchen table) inherits every gap between the field and the ledger. The product’s job is to close those gaps at the source.

The chair’s real problems

What the controller at a locksmith shop is up against.

  • The deposit doesn’t match anything

    A lump lands in the bank and someone spends Thursday guessing which invoices it contains.

  • Double entry, double error

    Work keyed into field software and again into the accounting file drifts twice, and you own the drift.

  • The software bill wanders

    Per-seat licenses, surprise tiers, usage overages: a line item you have to re-audit every quarter.

The work

The days locksmith companies run.

  • 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.

What the record hands you

Your view of the locksmith product.

  • One-way posting, on purpose

    Thorbis posts to QuickBooks; the books stay in QuickBooks. One direction means one source of truth to audit.

    The bridge
  • Deposits that itemize

    Payouts trace to the invoices inside them. Reconciliation is a check, not an investigation.

    Money
  • A bill you can predict

    The posted company price plus metered usage you can see: no per-seat math, no quarter-end surprise.

    The quote

The old way

What the whiteboard costs locksmith companies.

  • 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.

The day, from this chair

Three moments that change.

  1. 9:00

    The match, confirmed

    Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.

  2. 11:30

    The exception, alone

    One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.

  3. 16:00

    The close, boring

    Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.

Straight answers

What the controller asks first.

  • Does the controller cost a seat?

    No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.

  • Can we bring our locksmith records?

    CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
