Commercial in Columbus — FAQ

How does commercial locksmith pricing differ from residential?▾
Commercial work applies B2B pricing tiers — typically 20-40% above retail residential for equivalent hardware work, reflecting the compliance requirements (insurance, background-checked techs, after-hours access), multi-location coordination, and relationship-based pricing. AI applies your configured commercial rates when the caller identifies as business.
Can the AI handle master-key system quotes?▾
Partially. For standard commercial master-key work (retail, office), AI can scope from intake and quote. For high-security systems (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Assa Abloy restricted keyways), AI escalates to a specialist tech for custom quoting.
How much does commercial service cost in Columbus?▾
Commercial service in Columbus typically runs $180-$1200 depending on job specifics. Columbus-specific factors that affect the quote: osu game-day surge + dublin/new albany suburbs. TheKeyBot quotes from your exact pricing sheet, not a regional average — so your rates apply.
How fast can a Columbus locksmith respond to commercial calls?▾
Response time in Columbus depends on your tech positioning and service radius. Mobile shops using AI dispatch typically respond in 20-40 minutes across the metro. TheKeyBot routes commercial calls to the tech closest to the caller based on real-time GPS, which usually cuts 10-20 minutes off non-AI dispatch.
Does TheKeyBot's AI handle commercial calls specifically for Columbus?▾
Yes. The AI applies Columbus-specific service rules you configure: zone-based mileage, local neighborhood pricing, base-access protocols if relevant, bilingual routing for Columbus zips where that matters. Each service type (commercial) has its own intake flow tuned for that job type.
