Locksmith Invoice Template is a tool for businesses to request payment for the locks or services that were provided to a Customer. In fact, with a little preparation, this template can be drafted in the Locksmith’s Office, Shop, or even on-site where the Customer is located. Since only the header of this document will need to be prepared beforehand (with the Locksmith’s business details, the invoice number, and the date), once this information is set on some pre-printed copies, they can be kept handy by a Locksmith on the road. This can be particularly handy if going from one on-site job to the next. Naturally, it is considered imperative that one always retain a copy of completed documents for the record books so make sure to account for this by printing two of every invoice if this paperwork will be dispensed to an employee on the road. Otherwise, you may fill it out at your leisure, in your office, using the software of your choice.

Step 1 – Download This Invoice As A PDF Or Word Document To Bill Locksmith Customers
The locksmithing paperwork required to bill Clients is a downloadable file that is available in a few formats. For our purpose, select it using either the “Adobe PDF” or “Microsoft Word (.docx)” link above. You may choose whichever you are more comfortable with.
Step 2 – Identify The Locksmithing Business Requiring Payment
The heading of the document at the beginning of the document you obtained will serve as a staging area for the Locksmith’s contact information. Begin by deleting the words “Company Name” from the text box at the top of the page, then replacing it with the legal business name of the Locksmith. 
The first series of blank lines on this page is located under the text box you have tended to. Use the first four lines to display the “Name” and mailing address of the Locksmith sending this. Start with the “Name” of the Locksmith or Customer Service Representative on the first of these lines. Next, submit the official address of the Locksmithing Shop or Business using the blank line designated with the text labels “Street Address,” “City, State, Country,” then, “Zip Code” to present it.
The telephone number of any business, including the Locksmith sending this, is often considered a staple in any correspondence, therefore, this section requires you produce it on the line attached to the text label “Phone.” In addition to the information we have supplied above, many Clients will appreciate seeing the Locksmith’s “E-Mail” address in a convenient reference area. Furnish this information on the last line of the header.
Step 3 – Make Sure This Document Remains Unique In Your Filing System
A solid way to reference this paperwork is needed. To answer this need a noticeable area of display has been provided as a partially shaded bar containing two label items. The Locksmith’s “Invoice #” is the first requirement here you must make a record of this document number on the blank line provided. 
Next, the calendar date when this paperwork shall be set as active must now be dispensed. Locate the “Date” line to supply this material to its contents.
Step 4 – Record The Locksmith Client’s Name And Mailing Address
This invoice must direct itself to the proper Business or Person when requesting payment. Therefore, a specific section titled “Bill To” has been devoted to assigning the exact “Name” of the Locksmithing Customer intended to receive this bill. 
It is important that we also list the Locksmith Client’s mailing address in the “Bill To” section. The “Street Address” line is set to accept the first address line while the remainder should be furnished to the “City, State, Country” and “Zip Code” lines.
Step 5 – List The Locksmithing Services Provided Then Bill For Them
The Locksmith’s invoice table presented near the center of this page allows a clean presentation of the performed services and any supplies (i.e. locks, keys, safes, etc.) the Customer ordered to be placed in the “Description” box. As a free form area, you may report whatever services requiring payment. 
The second box, “Amount,” shall request the price of every service or product provided to the Customer and listed in “Description.” The “Subtotal” field of this table is a convenience we will set up for the Locksmithing Client. Use this box to display the total of all the locksmithing services/products requiring payment that you have listed in “Amount.” It should be mentioned that even if only one number was reported, you should re-enter this cost. The “Tax” field will require that you report all the taxes you must charge the Customer for the services and products above. Finally, you must furnish the resulting figure when you add the Locksmith’s “Subtotal” to the value in “Tax.” This sum will be the “Total” sum owed by the Client and should be recorded in the last box.
Step 6 – Finish Drafting This Invoice With Additional Material
The statement underneath the “Total” we have reported allows a formal request for payment to be received within a certain number of “Days” to be made. The blank line after the phrase “Payment Is Due…” will accept the limiting number of days you place on a payment that is on time. Enter this number accordingly. 
The blank lines that follow the “Comments Or Special Instructions” label are reserved for your convenience. If an additional production of information must be included, then it may be placed on the blank lines following this label.

Cell A3 requests you continue identifying the Locksmith as this paperwork’s Sender by inputting his or her full “Name.” If this is a Shop or a Company, then the Customer Service Representative handling this Customer should have his or her full “Name” presented in this cell. The Locksmith’s Business or Shop contact information should be considered imperative to this document’s ability to attain its goal of securing the Client’s payment. The mailing address used by the Locksmith for his or her business correspondence must be presented in cells A4, A5, and A6. Furthermore, the Locksmith’s business “E-Mail” and “Phone” number will have cells A7 and A8 reserved for your entries of this information.

Generally, the invoice “Date” is the calendar day when the paperwork is completed.
Step 5 – Populate the Table With The Locksmith Job’s Information
An invoice table has been presented in this document for the convenience of a structured area of presentation. You will be expected to generate the specifics of the locksmithing job in cell A17. 
Report the price(s) for the services and physical products (i.e. safes, locks, etc.) needed for the locksmithing job in cell H17. The next cell down, cell H18, expects the sum of all locksmithing costs produced to its contents. None of these items should include taxes. A “Tax” may need to be added to the “Subtotal.” If so, then record the exact amount in cell H19. The final cell in this table that requires your input is cell H20. Here, you must display the “Total” sum of the locksmith’s “Subtotal” and required “Tax.”
Step 6 – The Final Area Can Be Used To Give The Locksmith Customer Conditions Of Payment
If the payment of this invoice is expected within a certain amount of time, then the Locksmith Business or Shop originating this invoice must make sure the Client is aware of this. Cell A21 will allow you to name a definitive number of days as a deadline for a payment that is on time. Do so by deleting “[#]” from this statement and recording this number in its place. cell A22 will accept any additional material the Locksmith Business or Shop wishes to dispense to the Customer.
