Why I built
KeyBolt
I started talking to locksmiths because I was curious how small trade shops actually run. What I found was the same story, over and over: Google Calendar for scheduling, Square for payments, QuickBooks for invoicing, and a spiral notebook for key codes.
Every locksmith I spoke with was losing money on forgotten invoices. Not small amounts — $2,000 to $3,000 a year, just slipping through the cracks. And the “professional” tools? Built for plumbers and electricians. None of them understood key codes, bitting charts, or van inventory.
KeyBolt exists because 29,620 locksmith shops in the US deserve software that speaks their language. Not another generic field service tool with locksmith features bolted on — a purpose-built platform designed from day one for how locksmiths actually work.

What we believe
Built for the van
Every screen is designed to work on a phone, in a van, with one hand. Big buttons, simple flows, zero jargon.
Locksmith language
We say "jobs" not "tickets," "techs" not "field workers," "key codes" not "asset identifiers." Because that's how you talk.
Simple pricing
$59/month. All features. No per-user fees. No contracts. We make money when you stay, not when you're trapped.
Your data, protected
Key codes, safe combinations, and customer data are encrypted. We never log sensitive information. Your records belong to you.
