WHAT AFFECTS COST

Four things that set lock pricing, plainly

We price every lock job by lock type, door prep, quantity, and security grade. No surprises, no add-ons.

01

Lock type matters

Standard knobs, deadbolts, and smart locks each take different time and hardware.

02

Door prep included

We bore new holes or align existing ones so the lock fits right and works smooth.

03

Quantity gets a break

Locking every exterior door at once beats paying per door separately. Bundle and save.

04

Security grade sets price

Grade 3 works fine for most homes. Grade 1 adds beefier bolts for commercial or high-traffic doors.
