Pricing guide

Costs are driven mainly by labour and call‑out charges plus the type and quality of hardware chosen. Simple handle swaps are typically less expensive than mortice, commercial or smart lock installs, which usually require extra tooling, time and higher‑spec materials. After‑hours attendance, electrician or locksmith requirements and the condition of the door/frame can also increase the final cost.

  • Hardware type and specification

    Basic handles and latch sets are usually quicker to fit than mortice locks, commercial-grade systems or higher-spec smart locks which add labour and tooling time.

  • Door and frame condition

    Damaged, warped or non-standard frames often need extra carpentry or adjustment work, increasing labour and scope compared with a straightforward fit.

  • Wiring and electrical integration

    Battery-only smart locks are typically simpler to install, while mains-wired or alarm-integrated devices may require an electrician and extra installation time.

  • Quantity and visit batching

    Doing multiple doors in the same visit generally gives per-door efficiencies, whereas single-door attendances can be proportionally less efficient.

  • Specialist tooling or locksmith work

    Mortice, high-security or commercial locksets may need specialist tooling, certification or separate locksmith line items that affect the overall scope.

Frequently asked questions

Do door installers need a licence?
A licence is mandatory for this trade; you should ask to see the installer’s licence and any relevant qualifications. Some specialised lock changes may also require certified locksmith involvement.
Can I supply my own door hardware?
Supplying your own hardware is usually accepted and will typically reduce the materials component. Installers often need to confirm compatibility and may charge for fitting non-standard or complex items.
How long does a hardware install typically take?
Most standard hardware installs are typically completed in a single visit. Complex jobs such as mortice locks, commercial systems or wired smart lock integrations usually take longer due to extra tooling, configuration or the need for follow-up electrical work.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to door installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
How many quotes will I get?
