What do lock installation services include?

If you’ve just moved into a new home, consider replacing its old locks and installing new ones. Whether it’s a traditional deadbolt lock or a keyless entry system, you can find a Tasker who can fit and install the best lock for your home. Below is the possible range of services that you can look forward to: 

Lock fitting

A professional locksmith can help properly fit a lock to your door or window. Remember that there are different types of locks that work best with certain kinds of doors and windows. For example, a UPVC door lock functions best with a patio door or screen door. 

Consult with your Tasker with what lock options you can choose from. Using their tools, they can fit the lock perfectly into your barrier or aperture. 

Door lock installation

Most mobile locksmiths are trained in residential lock installation and help properly install locks to your front door, patio door, and bedroom doors. If you own an office or a retail space, then your mobile locksmith can also repair, replace, and install new locks for your building or store. 

Keep in mind that replacing your locks can ensure the security of your home and prevent break-ins. 

Car lock installation

Want an upgrade on your car’s security system? Hiring a Tasker can help ease the stress of fitting and installing a brand new lock on your vehicle. Depending on what you need, your Tasker can help replace or fit a lock on your car door or trunk or even install a central locking system. 

For parents, you can also babyproof your vehicle and have your Tasker install childproof locks.

Electronic lock installation

Even the oldest or simplest homes can boast top-of-the-line security systems. With Airtasker, you can find a mobile locksmith who can install electronic locks such as keypad locks, Bluetooth locks, magnetic door locks, and more. 

Your Tasker can also smoothly install keyless entry systems, so you can move in and out of your property with ease (and without fumbling with your key chains every single time!).

High-security lock installation

High-security lock systems protect against robberies or any other method of trespassing and attack. Your mobile locksmith can help install a heavy-duty lock that can withstand picking and drilling. 

If you’re looking to upgrade the security of your property with video surveillance and alarms, consider hiring a security system installer near you.

Replace the existing door lock of a front door and add a new one

Install 2 x smart locks (hardware supplied) —mortice swap + deadbolt

$440

Northcote VIC 3070, Australia

27th Jul 2026

Two doors, both locks supplied by me — labour only. After a licensed locksmith, or an experienced tradie who owns a proper lock morticing jig. Door 1 — Front door (solid timber, painted black, glass panel). Swap the existing Jackson's mortice lock for a Yale ByYou Pro smart mortice lock, 60mm backset. I have it here ready to go. The Yale case isn't identical to the old Jackson's one, so expect to adjust the mortice pocket and forend rebate to suit. Being a smart lock it also needs a cable pass-through drilled between the inside and outside escutcheons, and a new strike plate to match. Door 2 — Internal garage-to-house door (white, solid core, 35mm thick). Replace the existing deadbolt with an Aqara U100 smart deadbolt. The current deadbolt is keyed both sides, which I want gone — the U100 gives a thumbturn inside for fire egress. The existing lever handle and its latch stay as they are. Existing prep: 54mm cross bore, 60mm backset. One catch worth pricing up front: the lever and deadbolt are only 100mm apart centre to centre, and the U100's escutcheon is 134mm tall outside and 140mm inside, so it may or may not clear the lever rose. Please quote both scenarios — (a) it drops straight into the existing prep, (b) you relocate the deadbolt 40–50mm lower with a new cross bore, edge bore and strike, old holes capped with blanking plates. In your quote please include: confirmation you have a lock morticer/jig plus a 54mm hole saw and deadbolt jig; a fixed price for Door 1 and both scenarios on Door 2; and your availability. All hardware supplied, so no materials cost beyond blanking plates or a strike if needed. Happy for you to check every measurement on site before anything gets cut. If you think the garage door leaf is fire-rated, flag it with me before cutting. Weekday is fine, no rush.

I need to have 4 mortice locks installed on 4 doors in my house on Tuesday 28/7 afternoon. It MUST be Tuesday afternoon. Attached some pictures of what is already in place - these will need to be removed as part of the installation. Backset of the originals is 63mm - the purchased locks will be either 57mm or 63mm (currently trying to source a 63mm option, will have final options by Tuesday morning).

Hadi was great - came very promptly and installed 4 locks. Clean installations throughout. Would recommend and work with again.
