With the popularity and success of Uber, the mobile "on demand industry" is the new gold rush. Experiments into every thing imaginable is on the move. We can possibly call it UBER domination, Uberification or simply disruptive innovation. Either way, it is the what is on the horizon and the locksmith industry is not immune.

"Uber is building a digital mesh — a grid that goes over the cities. Once you have that grid running, in everyone's pockets, there is a lot of potential for what you can build as a platform. Uber is in the empire-building phase. There are things that are not designed for Uber, explains Uber CEO Travis Kalanick.

It is all about the frequency of calls for a particular service and locksmiths providing lockouts appear to be prime candidate.
