What's the best quoting app for locksmiths in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian locksmiths that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand. A sample Insta Quotes locksmith quote itemises the job into rekey, keys, deadbolts, egress, windows and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a locksmith in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so locksmiths in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand locksmith quote include?
List the openings and what happens at each one, rather than quoting a price per lock: rekeying an existing cylinder, replacing hardware and fitting a new deadbolt are three different jobs at three different prices. Show 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Say how many keys are included and what extra keys cost, and if the system is a restricted key, explain what that means: keys that cannot be copied at a hardware store, held on a register, with authorisation needed to cut more. Include a call-out and travel line if the job is off your usual run, and state your after-hours rate separately.
What are a landlord’s obligations for locks in New Zealand?
Residential tenancy law requires rented premises to be reasonably secure, and it also restricts changing the locks unilaterally once a tenancy is running: neither party simply rekeys a door mid-tenancy without the other’s agreement. In practice that makes the changeover between tenancies the moment the work happens, and it makes the property manager, not the occupant, your client. A rekey at changeover is how a landlord shows the previous tenant’s keys no longer open the door. Quote it as a package for the turnaround: all exterior cylinders to one key, a stated number of keys, window latches checked, and a dated record of what was done, since that record is what the landlord relies on later.
Does the AI know New Zealand locksmith pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates for rekeying and cylinder replacement, restricted and registered key systems, deadbolts and door hardware, window stays and latches, safes, and lockout call-outs including after hours, with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Rental turnaround work is priced as the package it is, because in New Zealand that is a large share of the trade rather than an occasional job.
Can I fit a lock that needs a key to get out?
Not on an escape route, and it is worth saying so to a client who has asked for one. Security hardware has to coexist with the building’s means of escape: a door people would use to get out in a fire must open from the inside without a key, a special tool or particular knowledge. Double-cylinder deadbolts on a main exit door are the usual request and the usual problem. They solve one risk by creating a worse one, and if the door is on an escape route it is not a legitimate option regardless of what the client wants. Quote compliant hardware, explain the reason in a sentence, and offer the alternatives that give the same security without locking someone in.
