Lemon Grove homes and what shapes the price here
Lemon Grove residential calls split between rental-cycle work and resale work. Property managers and small-portfolio landlords handle rekey at every tenant turnover, typically three to four cylinders per unit ($85 to $150 all-in), often with mailbox lock rekey or replacement added when the mailbox key disappears with the moved-out tenant. Resale rekey for owner-occupied home sales runs the standard three to five cylinders ($100 to $180), often paired with a Grade 2 deadbolt upgrade on the front door for buyers replacing 50-to-70-year-old original hardware.

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.
