More about your website

Someone locked out needs a phone number and an arrival time. A property manager is checking your experience with their doors and key system. Your site can answer both without making either customer work through the wrong form.

A sample business. Broadway Lock & Key is fictional. Its prices, reviews and job stories are examples. We build your site with your business details, photos and genuine customer reviews.

What we build into your website

We separate urgent lockouts from work a customer can plan. Your page names the jobs you take, the area you cover and what you need to quote. Photos of your van and work help people recognize the business they called.

Tell us which qualifications you’d like customers to see. We can include certifications, licenses and insurance details you provide.

The demo’s service areas, callout charges and vehicle coverage would be yours. Tell us how you handle lockouts and which planned jobs you want more of. Send me the questions ›

Where the job goes after the call comes in

Your Console keeps customer messages and job details together. Try Broadway’s sample below. The workflow tools draft texts for you to review, then send from your own phone.

Your domain is registered in your name and billed at cost, about $11 a year.

Your mobile plan and optional voice line

The tools draft the message; you review it and tap to send on your phone. Texts use your carrier plan, with no per-message fee from Plainsmith.

The optional front desk answers calls you forward when you can’t pick up and prepares a text reply. We check forwarding on your number during setup. Its Twilio voice line costs about $1.15 a month plus about a cent a minute, billed to your own account. See provider costs.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancel from your account. Your website comes down and workflows stop at the end of the month or year you paid for.

You have 14 days to request a refund, starting when we send the finished website for review. We return your full website payment, including $400 if you paid annually. Domain registration is nonrefundable; you keep the domain.

Your Console stays open in read-only mode, free, so you can download your contacts, messages and appointments.

Buying the website to host elsewhere

Your domain, words, photos and logo belong to you from the start. The website’s design and code cost $499 less your plan credit to buy.

Monthly: this month’s $40 comes off. Annual: we credit $400 divided by 12 for each unfinished month, including the month you’re in. Your account shows the exact price.

Your files and hosting setup arrive within seven days. You take over hosting, updates and renewals. After a buyout, hosting and workflow service finish with your current billing month. Read the ownership terms.

What your site will know about locksmiths

We’ll ask about these details so your pages describe the work you actually offer.

What does the price cover?

A customer hears a callout charge and may think it buys entry too. Your page should separate travel, labor and replacement hardware, then explain when you can give the full price.

Entry and replacement

Say what your standard lockout includes. If drilling or new hardware changes the price, explain that you get approval before doing that work.

Your working hours

Publish the hours you actually answer and how after-hours charges work. A single van shouldn’t promise the same arrival time to every caller.

Ask the questions that change the job

A spare car key and an all-keys-lost request can need different equipment. A property rekey needs the door count and someone authorized to arrange the work.

Vehicles you cover

Collect the vehicle details and ask if the customer still has a working key. List the vehicles or systems you don’t handle.

Permission to enter

Explain what proof of identity and access you ask to see. Keep personal documents out of the public request form.

Replacing the lock may not be the job

A sticking door, a lost key and worn hardware need different answers. Give customers room to describe the problem before they choose a replacement.

Rekeying

Explain when you can keep the hardware and change which key opens it. Whether several locks can share a key depends on their compatibility.

Door hardware

Show the closers, latches and locks you service. A business customer can send a photo of the door and describe what it’s doing.

Make the business easy to check

Use your own business details and photographs. Only name credentials you hold and can explain.

Who answers and arrives

Your name, working hours and service area help a caller know who they’re hiring.

Planned property work

A property manager can describe the hardware, number of doors and date a tenant moves out.

Edit allowances and how to reach us

From your account, from your phone, in a sentence, and it lands on our phones the second you hit send. The two of us read every message that comes through your account; you meet us at the bottom of this page. We work through edit requests in the order they arrive. Most go up the same day. Five edit requests a month are included, and how much goes into each one is up to you — everything in a single message counts as one, so send them together. A sixth queues for next month, or $10 puts it up now.

What happens when the next call comes mid-job

A customer wants a rekey quote while you’re finishing a lockout. Keep their request with its address and photos, then review a reply when you can stop.

Photo requests

Prepare a request for a door or hardware photo. Check the recipient and text before sending it.

Fair questions

Can the site cover emergencies and planned work?
Yes. Give lockouts a clear call button. A separate form can collect door counts, hardware photos and preferred dates for rekeys or installations.
Do I have to publish a fixed lockout price?
No. We can show your callout charge and explain what it includes, or state what you need to know before quoting. The wording follows how you charge.
What if I only cover certain cars?
We can state that coverage on your page. The form collects the vehicle’s details and asks about any keys the customer still has, so you can decide whether to accept the job before arranging a visit.
Which photographs should I send?
Your marked van, a photo of you and examples of installed hardware help. Avoid readable keys, customer addresses and access codes in public photos.
Can search engines and AI tools find my business?
We describe your services and location on the page and in the information search engines read. This helps them understand your business. We can’t promise a ranking, recommendation or number of inquiries.
Is Plainsmith right for a locksmith with 1–3 vans?
Yes, if you still work on the jobs and take the calls yourself. We handle the website, and the included workflow tools help you prepare follow-ups and reminders. Tell us if you need dispatch, payroll or accounting integration so we can check the fit.

Ten to thirty minutes of questions. Then we build.

You answer plain questions about which locks and vehicles you work on, where you travel and how you charge. We read your answers, write the pages and build the site. It publishes only after you’ve reviewed it and told us to publish.

The “we” is Jason Walls and Tadar Puakpaibool. Jason came to software from four trades — drilling, roofing, cabinets, machining — and started Plainsmith from Golden. He is responsible for your website build and custom tools, and handles technical problems when you contact us. Tadar is the marketer: fifteen years of campaigns and launches for brands including Red Robin and Procter & Gamble, and what each page says, top to bottom, is his call. Here’s our story.
