What's happened?

Two quick photos

One of the problem, one to prove it's your address. They travel with the job.

Photo of the problem

The lock or door itself, so your locksmith knows what they're turning up to and brings the right parts.

Needed

Photo of your ID or address

Driving licence, bill or bank letter showing your name and this address. Proves you live here before we open the door.

Optional

Can't get to your ID? That's normal.

If your ID is locked inside, skip it. Your locksmith photographs it at the door once you're back in - the job cannot be closed until that check is done. You'll see the ID check as its own step while you track the job.

PrototypePhotos stay in memory for the demo. Live build: encrypted store, photos deleted after 90 days, ID verify-then-delete with a six-year record of the check.
