FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can FrontDeskFred handle emergency lockout calls?

Yes. Fred answers every call immediately, captures the caller's exact location, the type of lockout (home, car, business), and their callback number. It sends you a complete dispatch summary so you can head out with everything you need.

Does FrontDeskFred help locksmiths get more Google reviews?

Yes. After every completed job, Fred automatically sends a review request to the customer. You don't have to remember to ask and customers don't have to remember to leave one. Most businesses see their review count increase significantly within the first few months — which directly improves where you rank when someone in your area searches for a locksmith.

Does FrontDeskFred handle both residential and commercial locksmith calls?

Yes. Fred handles homeowner lockouts, car lockouts, and commercial calls for rekeying, lock installation, and access control. It distinguishes between job types and captures the appropriate information for each.
