Locksmith Software for Jobs, Quotes & GST Invoicing

Locksmith businesses in Australia live and die by speed at the doorstep, but the paperwork rarely keeps up. You're writing callout fees on a notepad, texting photos of a fitted deadlock, and then spending evenings matching invoices against bank deposits. Many locksmiths pay $35/month for Xero, $49/month for ServiceM8 or Tradify, and still end up with a glovebox of supplier receipts that never get logged. The result is that you don't actually know how profitable a job was until your accountant tells you months later — if they can untangle it at all.

OneBookPlus gives you one app for the whole business. Build itemised quotes on your phone for lockouts, rekeys, supply-and-fit, restricted-key systems and access control, with labour, hardware and GST calculated automatically. When the customer accepts via the quote link, the job drops straight into your week view. Complete the work, snap before-and-after photos, record the customer's authority and ID for restricted jobs, and convert the quote to a GST-compliant invoice with one tap — then take payment on the spot by card or send a Pay Now link. Log cylinders, blanks and hardware against the job with supplier receipt photos so you can see your true margin on every callout.

Your Daily Workflow

It's 6:50am and your phone buzzes — an emergency lockout booked overnight through your OneBookPlus booking page. You flag it urgent, check whether you've worked the property before, and head out. On-site, you gain entry, build a quote for the callout and any new hardware, and the customer taps Accept and pays by card before you're back at the van. Your week view shows a strata rekey on a restricted-key system at 9:30 and a commercial access-control install after lunch. For the strata job you record the customer's authority and ID against the job, snap photos of the new cylinders, and invoice on the spot. At the end of the day you check your dashboard: four jobs completed, $1,650 invoiced, hardware logged with supplier receipt photos, two payments already in.

Licensing, ABN & Documentation

Locksmith and security work is regulated state by state, and several jurisdictions require a security licence for particular security-installation activities. OneBookPlus doesn't issue or verify any licence — that stays your responsibility — but it does store your ABN and licence details once so they appear automatically on every quote and invoice, and it keeps your job photos, the customer's authority and ID sign-off for restricted work, and key and credential history together against each site. When a regular calls back about a master-key suite you fitted last year, the record is one tap away. Always confirm your current licensing obligations with your relevant state regulator.

Getting Started

Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Locksmith” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with locksmith service categories, typical job types (emergency lockout, rekey, supply and fit, access control) and invoice templates that carry your ABN and licence details. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Tradify or a spreadsheet. Most locksmiths send their first quote within 20 minutes of signing up, and switching from a jobs-app-plus-Xero stack typically takes a single evening.
