How do I make a locksmith invoice?

Tell Clodou the customer, the job and your prices, such as a service call at $65 and a lockout at $85. It finds or adds the customer and writes the invoice with your logo, your business details, the next number in your sequence and the taxes you set. There is no locksmith invoice template to fill in, and if a price is missing, Clodou asks instead of guessing.

Can I bill a lockout on the spot?

Yes. Ask for the invoice in one sentence when the job is done, mark it as given to the customer and record the payment, which you approve. On Solo and Team, your own payment link prints on invoices.

Can I invoice a car lockout or key programming?

Yes, each as its own line at your price, with the vehicle in the line if the customer wants it. Clodou has no vehicle or key code lookup: it prints what you give it.

Does Clodou keep ownership or ID records?

No. Clodou does not verify who owns a property or a vehicle and keeps no ID or authorization records, which some places require locksmiths to keep: keep them where your local rules say. Clodou has no dispatch, scheduling or key code records either, and it does not take card payments.

Free covers up to 5 clients and 20 AI actions a month, with no separate cap on quotes and invoices (making them in the chat uses AI actions). Solo, with your payment link on invoices, is $29 a month per workspace. Team, with 5 seats and automatic reminders, is $79 a month. Prices are in USD, and the first 14 days are a free Team trial.

Who it's for / Locksmiths

Locksmith invoices for the lockout, the rekey and the master key system

Locksmiths usually charge a service call to come out, then a flat price per job, such as a lockout or a rekey per cylinder, with new locks and keys at the price they set and a higher rate at night and on weekends. Businesses and property managers order rekeys between tenants, master key systems and access hardware, and often pay on account. Tell Clodou what you did and at what price: it writes the invoice or the quote and keeps track of who still owes you.

How Clodou helps

Service calls and flat-rate jobs

"Invoice Kim Lopez: service call $65, house lockout $85 and the after-hours charge of $50" writes three lines, $200. Clodou uses your prices; it never picks a rate for you.

Rekeys and hardware by the piece

Give rekeys per cylinder, keys per copy and new hardware per piece, such as 6 cylinders at $25 and 2 deadbolts at $145, and Clodou writes each line with its total.

Commercial jobs quoted first

Quote a master key system or a set of new locks with each item on its own line. When the customer accepts, the quote becomes the invoice, with their purchase order number in the note.

How locksmiths bill, and how Clodou handles it

Service calls, flat rates and after hours

Most locksmiths charge a service call or trip fee, then a flat price per job, such as a house or car lockout, or labor by the hour for longer work. Nights, weekends and holidays often carry an extra charge. Give Clodou each with your price as its own line, so the customer sees what they pay for. Clodou never adds a fee by itself.

Rekeys, keys and hardware

Rekeys are usually priced per cylinder, key copies per key, and new locks, deadbolts or smart locks per piece, at the price you set. Give the quantity and the price, such as rekey, 6 cylinders at $25, $150. In some places sales tax applies to hardware and not to labor: give a line its own rate, or none, and check with your accountant.

Commercial accounts and master keys

Businesses, landlords and property managers order rekeys between tenants, master key systems and access hardware, often with a purchase order and payment terms. Quote the larger jobs first, invoice each job with the address in the line, and set the due date to their terms; Clodou keeps each on the list of what is owed until you record the payment.
