Locksmith inventory management software

Locksmith inventory goes beyond generic stock management. You carry key blanks in dozens of keyway profiles, pin kits sorted by manufacturer, cylinders in multiple finishes, and specialized hardware like mortise bodies and deadbolt assemblies. A general-purpose inventory tool does not understand these categories. LockBench does.

LockBench tracks the full range of locksmith inventory — key blanks, cylinders, pin kits, hardware, and tools — with quantity and cost recorded for every item.

Each inventory item stores quantity on hand, unit cost, and supplier information. Stock adjustments — whether receiving new stock, using materials on a job, or making a manual correction — are all logged with a timestamp and reason, so your records are always auditable.

When a technician uses key blanks, cylinders, or hardware on a service call, those materials are logged directly against the job record. The stock quantity decreases automatically — no separate step, no end-of-day reconciliation.

Materials logged against a LockBench job automatically deduct from inventory and flow into the invoice — no separate stock management, no double entry.

Because materials are tied to the job, they appear as line items when you generate an invoice. The cost is already recorded, so pricing is accurate and nothing gets missed. This eliminates the gap between what a technician uses in the field and what the customer is billed for.

Every stock movement in LockBench is recorded as a transaction. When you receive a shipment of key blanks, the receipt is logged. When a technician uses cylinders on a rekey job, the usage is logged against that job. Manual adjustments — for breakage, loss, or physical count corrections — are logged with a reason.

Every inventory movement in LockBench is recorded — received stock, materials used on jobs, and manual adjustments — giving you a complete transaction history per item.

This history is searchable per item, so you can see exactly when stock was received, how quickly it was consumed, and which jobs used it. The data is useful for ordering decisions, cost analysis, and resolving supplier disputes over quantities or pricing.

Running out of a common key blank on a job site costs you time and credibility. LockBench gives you an at-a-glance view of inventory items that are running low, so you can reorder before a shortage becomes a problem.

LockBench flags inventory items running below threshold so you can reorder before you're caught without key blanks or cylinders on a job.

You can set a reorder threshold for each item individually. High-turnover items like Schlage C or KW1 blanks might have a higher threshold than specialty hardware. When quantity on hand drops below the threshold, the item is flagged — giving you time to place an order before your next service call.
