Pricing guide
The cost of a deadbolt installation typically depends on how much on-site labour and specialised hardware are needed. New-hole installs and metal or security-screen doors usually require more time and specialised fasteners, while homeowner-supplied compatible hardware often reduces materials. Attendance charges and after-hours timing can also increase the overall cost.
Door material and security screens
Aluminium, metal or security-screen doors often add time and may need specialised fasteners or techniques.
New hole vs existing bore
Cutting a new hole or chiselling a new mortice requires extra labour compared with fitting into an existing compatible bore.
Callout and after-hours timing
A per-visit callout applies and attendance during evenings or weekends typically attracts an uplift to the labour rate.
Extra carpentry or metalwork required
If the door or frame needs significant modification beyond a standard fit, the scope and time on site will usually increase.
