Everything a locksmith needs — built by one who got tired of doing it the hard way
VeriKei is a complete job management platform built from the ground up for locksmith operators. It runs entirely in a web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer — no app to download, no complicated setup, no IT guy required. Just log in and go to work.
Every feature was designed around what actually happens on a real service call. Not a generic field service app with "locksmith" slapped in the name — a purpose-built tool for this specific trade, built by someone who has stood in a parking lot at midnight trying to document a job on their phone while a customer hovers nearby.
Six steps that cover you legally, financially, and professionally
From the moment you leave for a job to the moment you collect payment, VeriKei walks you through a structured process that documents everything automatically. It only takes a few extra minutes — and it can save you hundreds when a dispute comes up.
Pre-Flight
Mark the job active, start GPS tracking, and generate the customer's live tracking link before you leave. The customer gets a link to track your progress as you head their way — which neatly eliminates the "how far are you?" phone call that somehow always comes when you're on the highway.
Customer Information
Search existing customers by name or phone number to auto-fill everything. New customers are created automatically. Core Protection membership status, unlocks used, and unlocks remaining all show up instantly — no digging through notes.
Customer Signature
The customer signs your service release waiver on your phone before a single tool comes out. The signature canvas rotates to landscape for comfortable signing. The full waiver text is displayed so they know exactly what they're agreeing to — which matters a lot when someone later claims they had no idea there would be a charge.
Job Photos
Before and after photos taken directly from your phone camera. Timestamped and stored with the job record. Nothing fancy — just proof that the car was locked when you got there and unlocked when you left.
Verification
Document that you confirmed photo ID and ownership in person. Record lock type, whether the key was inside, and the number of locks. All of this becomes evidence if you ever need to fight a chargeback — and you will need to fight a chargeback eventually.
Pricing and Payment
Your total is calculated automatically based on your rates, distance, and any applicable discounts. Add line items for parts, hardware, or extra services. Apply sales tax to hardware items only. Record the payment method and you're done. The customer gets a receipt via SMS that includes a link to leave a review — more on that below.
Keep them informed — and entertained — while you drive
When you dispatch to a job, your customer gets a live tracking link via text. The page shows your current location updated every 2 minutes, estimated distance, and a running ETA. No app required — it works in any phone browser. No asking for their location either — VeriKei geocodes their address on the server side and calculates the distance automatically.
The feature that pays for the software — possibly on the first dispute
Here is the situation every locksmith has faced: you do a legitimate job, the customer pays by card, and a week later you get a chargeback notice claiming they never received service. Without documentation, your options are limited. With VeriKei, you tap one button and get a complete, professionally formatted dispute package as a downloadable PDF — ready to forward directly to your card processor or file in small claims court.
And here is where the reviews become more than just good marketing. When you send the SMS receipt after a job, it includes a unique one-time link for the customer to leave a review. If they leave a positive review and later dispute the charge, that review gets quoted verbatim in the chargeback defense PDF — directly contradicting their claim that service was never received. It is difficult to argue you never got unlocked when you left a four-star review about it two days earlier.
A complete toolkit, not just a job tracker
Core Protection Membership
Annual membership plan with a set number of covered unlocks per year. Collect the annual fee upfront. Builds loyalty and creates recurring revenue — most members never come close to using every covered call.
Line Items and Sales Tax
Add unlimited service or hardware items to any job. Sales tax applies to hardware only. Save frequently used items to a library for one-tap access on future jobs. Turns a lockout app into a full service management tool.
Professional Invoicing
PDF invoices formatted for standard double-window mailing envelopes. Offers a pay-in-full discount or automatic three-payment plan with due dates. Track partial payments against the balance.
Review Management
Approve, edit for typos, respond to, hide, or delete reviews before they go public. Published reviews display on your website automatically via a simple embed code. And as mentioned — they double as chargeback evidence.
Website Booking Widget
A full service request form for your customer website — one script tag, no coding required. Checks your business hours, shows a call button when you're unavailable, and offers appointment scheduling when they can wait. Submitted requests appear in your dashboard instantly with a notification to your phone.
Service State Restrictions
Choose which states you accept requests from. The booking form only shows those states, and requests from anywhere else are rejected automatically — both on the form and on the server. No more inquiries from three states away.
Digital Member Cards
Each Core Protection member gets a digital card with a QR code accessible by a unique link. Text it to them with one tap. Scan the QR code from within the app to pull up their status instantly at the door.
Instant Notifications
Get alerted the moment a customer submits a request through your website. Pushover or Textbelt — whichever fits your setup. No refreshing a dashboard to see if anything came in.
Live in minutes. Seriously.
VeriKei is hosted entirely by us — no web hosting account needed on your end. A guided setup wizard walks through every configuration — business info, service area, pricing, hours, discounts, notifications, and your service waiver — one step at a time with plain-English explanations at every turn. No manual editing of config files, no calling a developer.
New clients receive a license key by email that looks like VRK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Enter it on first visit, complete the ten-step wizard, and the software is ready for the first job. The whole process takes about five minutes, which is less time than most locksmiths spend looking for a parking spot.
$49 a month. That's it.
VeriKei is hosted and managed by us at $49 per month with no setup fee, no contract, and no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime. We handle the hosting, you handle the jobs.
To put that in perspective — if VeriKei helps you successfully dispute one chargeback, you have covered roughly four months of the subscription. One documented job with a signed waiver, photos, and a customer review on file is often all it takes. After that the math gets very easy very fast.
