What moves the smart lock installation price
- Lock model. Retrofit locks (August) are cheapest. Full keypad-deadbolt units (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure) cost more.
- Connectivity. Bluetooth-only is simplest. Built-in Wi-Fi and hub-based systems add setup time and sometimes an extender.
- Door readiness. A modern bored door is quick. Old or non-standard doors may need prep before the lock fits.
- Integration. Basic app pairing is included. Apple Home, Google, SmartThings, or STR code-rotation setup adds time.
Buying the lock yourself and paying labor-only can save on markup, but a bundled hardware-plus-install quote usually carries a workmanship guarantee.

How fast does Coronado salt air wear out a deadbolt?
Standard residential-grade hardware on Coronado addresses (both ocean and bay sides) shows real corrosion in three to five years and typically needs replacement in seven to ten. Internal cylinder pins seize, springs weaken, and thumb turns stiffen. Inland Coronado addresses (a few blocks back from the water) run closer to twelve to fifteen years before failure. We spec marine-grade stainless or solid brass with PVD finish on all exterior cylinder replacements, the upcharge is small and it roughly doubles service life.
