Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with door type and the lock mechanism being fitted. Simple retrofits to standard domestic doors are typically less complex than installs on aluminium/security‑screen doors or mortice/multi‑point systems, which usually require extra labour, specialist parts or door modification. Call‑out fees, installer labour rates and after‑hours attendance can also affect the final quote.
Door material and construction
Aluminium, metal or security‑screen doors usually need specialist drill bits, reinforcement or extra labour compared with timber doors.
Lock type and mechanism
Mortice and multi‑point locks typically require routing, lock‑case work or specialist parts, increasing labour and scope.
Hardware supply and compatibility
If the homeowner supplies hardware, incompatible models often add labour and parts to make the fit work, compared with installer‑supplied locks.
Need for door modification
Jobs that require mortising, routing or lock‑case replacement generally take more time and may need on‑site inspection to confirm scope.
Timing, call‑out and after‑hours
A call‑out fee and the time of attendance (standard hours versus after‑hours) typically influence the overall cost.
