Locksmiths: booking lock changes for landlords online

Landlords and letting agents need locks changed between two tenants, on a set day, without chasing you by phone. Give them a booking page with your lock-change services and arrival windows: they book the visit as soon as the move-out date is known, tell you in the note how you get in and where the new keys go, and you plan planned work around your emergency calls.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Say in the description whether the price includes the hardware and how many keys.

Make each slot an arrival window, such as 9:00–11:00, and say in the description that you arrive within it. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so keep set mornings for planned work and the rest of the day free for emergencies.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the landlord's calendar file. Ask in the description for:

Don't ask for key safe codes in the note, since it appears in the calendar file: agree them by phone.

An agent with several move-outs can book one window per property. Each online booking takes one place; you can also book them yourself from your bookings list with the agent's name and email, so each property gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Lockouts can't wait for a slot. Say on your page that emergency callouts are by phone, and keep the booking page for planned work.

Landlords can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the visit if the move-out date changes. Book doesn't take payments or send reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
