Pricing Guides › 2026
A new lock is only as good as its installation — off-center strikes, misaligned deadbolts, and stripped screws are why locks that should last a decade fail in a year. We install and align deadbolts, entry sets, and smart locks so they turn smoothly and actually lock, plus rekey existing locks when you need one key for every door. Below are the real 2026 market ranges we quote in Miami-Dade, Broward and south Palm Beach — so you know a fair price before anyone steps into your home.

What Changes the Price
Three factors move door lock installation quotes in South Florida more than anything else: access and condition (older installations, corrosion from humidity and salt air, hard-to-reach spots), materials (what needs replacing vs. reusing), and scope creep (small extras discovered mid-job). We price the visible scope in writing first, and if we find something unexpected we stop and re-quote before touching it — you approve every dollar.

Can you install a smart lock on my existing deadbolt hole?
In most cases yes, as long as the door and backset are a standard size. We check compatibility before starting so you are not left with a lock that does not fit.
Do you rekey locks so all my doors use the same key?
Yes — rekeying is a common request, especially after moving in or if you have accumulated locks from different installs over the years.
Why won't my deadbolt turn smoothly?
Usually a misaligned strike plate or a door that has shifted slightly on its hinges over time. We adjust both rather than just forcing the lock to work through the misalignment.
Can you install a lock on a brand-new door with no existing holes?
Yes — we bore new holes to the correct size and depth for a deadbolt or entry set using a door installation kit and template.
Do you set up the smart lock app and connect it to Wi-Fi?
Yes — full app pairing, Wi-Fi or hub connection, and a walkthrough of how to add users or codes before we leave.
Is a smart lock secure enough to replace a deadbolt entirely?
Most smart locks include a real deadbolt mechanism, so it is a direct replacement rather than an add-on — we will point out models with better bolt strength if security is a top priority.
