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.

My 1990s Rancho Peñasquitos home has original Kwikset hardware, should I upgrade?
For most PQ resale homes the practical answer is rekey first to control access ($100 to $180 for a typical three-to-five-cylinder home), then upgrade to Grade 2 or Grade 1 deadbolts over the next year as budget allows. Original Kwikset and Schlage builder-grade is Grade 3, which provides basic security but is relatively easy to bump or pick after 25 to 35 years of wear. Grade 2 upgrade (Schlage B-series, Kwikset SmartKey Plus) substantially improves resistance for $150 to $250 per door. Most PQ families upgrade the front door first.
