Frequently asked questions
Q: How much does lock installation cost in Auckland?
Cost depends on the type of lock, the door and how many locks you need fitted. A single standard deadbolt is a small job, while smart locks, master key systems or multiple doors cost more. We give a clear quote up front so you know the price before we start.
Q: How long does it take to install a new lock?
Most single lock installations take under an hour once we are on site. More involved jobs, such as several doors, a master key system or a smart lock setup, take longer. We will give you a realistic time when we quote.
Q: Can you install a lock I bought myself?
Yes, we are happy to fit a lock you have supplied, and we will let you know if it suits your door before we start. We can also supply the lock ourselves if you would prefer, often with hardware we know performs well.
Q: Will my new locks match my existing key?
In most cases, yes. Through rekeying and key matching we can set new locks to work on your current key, or set several locks to open with one key. Just let us know what you want and we will sort it during installation.
Q: Do you install smart locks and digital door locks?
Yes. We install keyless, fingerprint and digital door locks, including connected smart locks, and set them up so they work reliably. We can also help you choose a model that fits your door and how you like to enter.
Q: Can you install locks for new homes and renovations?
Absolutely. New builds and renovations are the ideal time to get your locks matched and fitted properly. We work in near the end of the build so your home is secure from the day you move in.
Q: Do you install locks on internal doors as well as exterior doors?
Yes. We fit locks on internal doors such as offices, bedrooms and storerooms, as well as external entry doors. Tell us which doors you want secured and we will recommend the right hardware for each.
Q: Will installing a new lock damage my door?
Not when it is done properly. Our locksmiths measure and fit carefully so the door is not weakened or marked. If an existing hole needs adapting for a new lock, we manage that cleanly as part of the job.
Q: Do you offer emergency or same day lock installation?
Yes. We provide emergency and same day lock installation across Auckland so you are never left unsecured. Call us and we will get to you as quickly as we can and make sure your property is locked before we leave.
Q: Do you recommend particular locks for rental properties?
For rentals we usually recommend durable, easily rekeyed locks so you can change access quickly between tenancies without replacing the whole lock. We are happy to advise on options that balance security, cost and convenience for landlords.
