Hardyproof / Trades / Locksmiths

Lockouts, rekeys and door work, organized from one link

Locksmith work swings between "I'm locked out right now" and a commercial door job that needs a written proposal. Both start with the right details: what kind of lock, which doors, and how soon.

How it works

  1. Customers say what's wrong

    Lockout, rekey, new lock, smart lock, commercial door: your list, with photos of the lock and how urgent it is.

  2. Emergencies stand out

    Requests marked Emergency are tagged in your inbox, and you get an email or text right away.

  3. Quote by text or walk-through

    Text a price for a rekey, or set up a site visit for commercial door work.

  4. Proposals for commercial jobs

    Doors, hardware and labor in writing, accepted online by the business owner.

  5. Paid on the spot

    Pay buttons with the amount filled in, or cash and check. Receipts are made for you.
