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.
