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.

  • Dill fixed a Holden Car Key purchased at Holden Central Coast. The latter told me the key couldn’t be fixed due to missing spring, they much rather take $600 from me for a new key…
