The US locksmith industry generated $3.0 billion in revenue in 2026 across 29,620 contractor businesses (IBISWorld 2026). The industry CAGR ran negative slightly (-1.1% over five years) despite 1.8% growth in 2026, as gains in advanced security segments (smart locks, cloud-managed access control, integrated video) only partly offset broader cyclical pressures. Locksmiths are increasingly broadening service mix beyond mechanical work into IoT and access-control integrations. Typical residential pricing: lockout service runs $50-$150 per call ($85-$200 emergency/after-hours), rekey $25-$80 per lock, lock installation $50-$200 per lock + parts, smart lock installation $150-$400 per lock + hardware. Commercial work (master key systems, access control, panic bars) runs significantly higher. The lockout call is the customer-acquisition lever , 2am locked-out customers don't shop on price, they pick the first locksmith to answer. 24/7 AI voice with deposit capture closes 50-65% of lockout calls vs. 15-25% for voicemail.

Run your own math: count last month's calls that went to voicemail and the quotes that took more than a day, then put a dollar value on the jobs that never booked. If that number beats the plan price, the software is worth it. OptimizeIt costs $39 to $239 a month on an annual plan, with seats included and a flat $25 per extra seat, and the 30-day free trial lets you check the math on your own jobs before you pay.
