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.
