Whats the average cost to replace a deadbolt lock in a home?
In the greater Atlanta metro area, locksmiths charges range from $35.00 to $50.00 service call, $15 – $35 to install the deadbolt, depending on if the door and jamb is allready bored and cored, (holes drilled) for the lock. This would be a simple change out. The other is more complicated and takes more tools and more time. Professional handyman companies charge $50 – $75 per service call plus the time to install the lock, usually about an hour, for another $50 – $75. Use a locksmith. They are more experenced and if you have bought the cheaper lock, they often present more problems installing. To summerize, service call say $40 + install fee say $25 + making the holes $35 totals $100, in the Atlanta area. More remote locations may be more, larger metro areas like New York may be more. Some rural areas may be less. Spartan Caver Sources: This is my opinion.
