Branded estimates & invoices
Rekeys, lockouts, hardware swaps — itemized on a numbered estimate with your business name, logo, and license number on it. A clean document beats a price quoted through a door crack.
Customers approve from their phone
The customer gets a branded link, reviews the work and the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount. More cylinders than quoted? They authorize the new total before you cut a key.
Real profit, not just revenue
Cylinders, hardware, and blanks carry a private "your cost" the customer never sees. The Money tab shows what the lockout or the rekey actually paid you once parts come out.
Photos that document the work
Shoot the damaged lock, the drilled cylinder, the new hardware seated. The photos ride with the job — proof for the customer and a record of exactly what you touched.
One flow, start to paid
Estimate, approval, invoice, payment — one job from the first call to Paid, flipping on its own when the balance hits zero.
Authorization on the record
Opening a property or car means confirming the customer is entitled to access. SideWRK captures the ID/authorization check on the job — your record that you did it right. Documentation tools, never legal advice.
From first call to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the customer and the door or vehicle, then the work — the rekey, the hardware, a photo. Send the branded estimate on the spot.
Send it
They review it on their phone and tap Approve — logged with the time and the amount, which matters in this trade.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice with your license printed on it. Record payment; the real profit lands in Money.
What should a locksmith charge?
Locksmithing is priced with a trip or service fee plus per-service pricing, with a premium for emergencies. Here's how it's priced, plus free calculators to find your number.
Trip or service fee
Most locksmiths charge a trip fee of about $50–$100 to come out, which covers the visit before any work.
Per-service pricing
Rekeys, lockouts, new locks, and key cutting are each priced individually, often plus the cost of the hardware.
Emergency premium
Late-night, weekend, and emergency lockout calls command a premium, and high-security or smart hardware raises the number.
What should you charge an hour?
Lockouts and rekeys are quick jobs. Your rate decides whether they're worth the drive.

Locksmith FAQ
Is the locksmith license different from a contractor license?
Yes — locksmithing is a separate occupational license in many states. SideWRK prints whatever license number you enter; it doesn't verify it.
Do I need to install anything?
No — SideWRK runs in any phone browser, nothing to download. Everything syncs to the cloud, so your phone on the job and your laptop at night see the same data.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — with the Multi-Trade plan every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list.
What should a locksmith charge?
Most locksmiths charge a trip fee of about $50 to $100, then per-service pricing for rekeys, lockouts, and installs plus hardware. Emergency and after-hours calls command a premium. Use the free hourly rate calculator to find your number.
How much does it cost?
Single Trade is $24/month for one trade. Multi-Trade is $39/month for every trade. Pro is $89/month for full-time operators. Every plan starts with 14 free days — no card required. You’re only charged after you pick a plan. There’s no permanent free tier.
