    Why We Built LockAtlas

    A stressful lock problem deserves clear information

    We are innovators who believe consumers deserve better.

    The locksmith industry is fragmented and untransparent. Getting locked out of your home should not mean dealing with unpredictable pricing, unknown wait times, and unverified service providers.

    We wanted customers to have the booking details together: the requested service, the estimate, the attending technician, and the changes they approve.

    Clear service records also help technicians explain their work and help customers understand what they are paying for.

    So we built LockAtlas, a marketplace with booking estimates, technician information, and in-app payments. A photo can help describe the lock; an on-site assessment may identify conditions that require a revised scope and price.

    We started in NYC. Technician availability depends on the location, service, and time of the request. Check the app for your booking details.

    You can check the attending locksmith through the NYC license lookup. Insurance and any claimed background screening are separate checks.

    Clearer Information at Each Step

    Know what to ask before agreeing to a service

    Questions to Resolve Before Booking

    • What work does the estimate cover?
    • Who will attend the booking?
    • What dispatch or diagnostic charges apply?
    • What happens if I decline additional work?
    • How can I check the technician's credential?
    • Does my building need to approve the work?
    • Who can help if there is a problem?

    Information to Keep With Your Booking

    • The displayed estimate and fee breakdown
    • The attending technician's details
    • The scope of work you approved
    • The terms for your booking stage
    • Any documents required by your building
    • The receipt and service records
    • A support contact for questions

    Review the estimate before confirming. Proposed changes need your approval. Cancellation terms depend on the booking stage, and charges already agreed may still apply.

    Our Mission & Vision

    Building modern infrastructure for an essential service

    Mission

    Modernize the locksmith industry by connecting customers with verified technicians through a transparent, tech-enabled marketplace that prioritizes quality, speed, and consumer protection.

    Vision

    Make clear, documented locksmith booking available to more customers as the service grows. Our current focus is New York City.

    What We Stand For

    The principles that guide every decision we make

    Transparency

    Review the displayed estimate and fee breakdown before confirmation. Proposed changes need your approval. Cancellation terms depend on the booking stage.

    Quality

    Understand who will attend and what work is proposed. Ask about the current NYC locksmith credential, relevant insurance, and your building's requirements.

    Consumer-First

    Keep the estimate, approvals, and service records together. Contact support with questions about the information shown for your booking.

    Innovation

    Use a lock photo to help describe the job and prepare an estimate. An on-site assessment may identify conditions that a photo cannot show.
