QR codes for locksmiths, key tags and technician verification
Locksmith scams make customers cautious. A technician ID card with a code that opens a verification page, with the technician's name, photo and licence details you choose to show, builds trust before the door is even opened.
Locksmiths can also tag keys with a code that opens a reorder or lost-key page.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
How can a QR code help customers trust a locksmith?
A customer standing at their own door can scan a card and see a page on your website with the technician's name, photo and the company's contact details. They can check it against the person in front of them and phone your office if anything is off.
- Never show a customer's address or personal details on the page.
- Keep the page on your own domain so customers can recognise it.
What else should a locksmith QR code open?
It depends on the placement.
| Placement | Opens |
|---|---|
| Van | Booking and pricing guide |
| Leave-behind card | Aftercare and lock maintenance tips |
| Key tag | Duplicate or reorder page |
Can a QR code replace calling for a locksmith?
No. Emergencies need a phone number. Print your number large next to any code, and use the code for the details people want afterwards.
