Locksmith services are one of the few home service categories where the homeowner decision is already made before they ever dial: they are locked out, a lock is broken, or they need a key cut right now. That zero-hesitation purchase dynamic produces close rates of 35-50% on exclusive inbound calls -- and emergency lockout calls close at 70-80% because the homeowner has no meaningful alternative. Speed of answer is the primary close factor in this category, not price.
