How to make a website for a key maker

People look for a key maker in two moods: calmly, to get a spare key cut, or in a panic, locked out at night. Both want to know what you do, what it costs and how fast you can come. A small website answers that, says you check ownership before opening a lock, and puts a call button on every page.

Sample words for your home page

Duplicate keys and lock opening in Amritsar

Keys cut while you wait near Hall Bazaar. Locked out? Call us for a home visit, day or night. We ask for ID and proof of address before opening any lock.

Bhagat Key House has cut keys and fitted locks in Amritsar for over 20 years. We open a lock only for its owner or tenant, after seeing ID and an address proof, so your home stays safe from people who aren't you.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

Tips for a key maker website

Say on the site that you check ID and proof that the home, shop or vehicle belongs to the caller before opening a lock. It is good practice and it reassures honest customers.
Put the night charge next to the day charge, so a locked-out caller isn't surprised at the door.
Mention that you don't cut a key from a photo alone for a lock you haven't seen the owner with, if that is your rule.
Use photos of your own counter, key machine and the locks you sell, not stock images.
If you fit digital door locks, say which kinds you fit; don't use a lock maker's logo or claim to be their dealer unless you are.
Add the shop to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and put the after-hours number there too.

Good to know

The website can't take a booking or a payment, or show whether you are free right now; locked-out people call or message you. To keep a record of lock openings, ID checks and key orders, a key maker app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should a key maker's website show prices?

Yes. Key cutting rates by key type and the home visit and night charges help people decide to call. Lock fitting can say 'from', plus the price of the lock.

Why mention ID checks on my website?

It shows you open locks only for the owner or tenant. Honest customers feel safer, and it puts off people trying to get into a place that isn't theirs.

Can locked-out people reach me fast from the website?

Yes. Every page has a call button and a WhatsApp button, so a caller can reach you in one tap and send their location in WhatsApp.

Should I list car and bike keys?

Only the kinds you can really make. If chip or remote keys need the vehicle maker's tools you don't have, say so to save wasted calls.

Can I show the locks I sell with prices?

Yes, on the services or charges page, with your own photos and price ranges. Customers ask on WhatsApp to check stock, since the website has no shop.

Will people find my key shop on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read your services, area and timings. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps people nearby find the shop on Maps.
