# How to Opt-In to the Latchel Contractor Network
> A **Latchel Contracted Network Service (LCN)** Provider can be assigned to a work order if all Preferred Service Providers are unavailable, or if they have to reject the job for some reason, and all of them have been exhausted.
For any type of work, as a property manager you may opt-in to source new service providers if nobody from your preferred network is available to accept the job. For **emergency work orders**, the Latchel Team may source a new provider on the spot, or source someone that have previously worked within your area. For **non-emergency work orders**, the Latchel system source a new service providers, you will instantly gain access to a directory of service providers that Latchel has previously worked within your area.
