Lock replacement almost always involves lock installation.

Lock fitting and installation can take a few minutes to a few hours. This depends on whether you need to replace a lock altogether or if you’re changing the type of lock completely. For example, if you’re installing a keyless entry system, then it might take a bit longer to remove the older lock mechanisms and introduce brand new technology. Rest assured that your Tasker will work as efficiently as possible.
Yes, a locksmith can provide you with new keys. What’s great about Airtasker is that you can find a locksmith who suits your needs and can fashion a new key for you when you install a new lock.

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.

I need a qualified locksmith or experienced handyman to replace an existing front door lock in Reading (RG30) with a Yale P-89-DMG-PB-60 Deadlocking Nightlatch (supplied by me); the job includes removing the old lock, installing and aligning the new nightlatch correctly, adjusting or replacing the strike plate if required, and fully testing operation (key and latch). A clean, professional finish is essential—any existing holes or marks must be properly filled and there should be no visible evidence of previous fittings once complete. The installer must bring all necessary tools and any additional fixings (screws, filler, plates if needed). Preferred date is **24 April** (some flexibility, but priority for that date). No upfront payment—payment will be made only once the job is completed to a satisfactory standard. Please include your experience, availability (confirming 24 April if possible), and a fixed price quote when responding.
Replace door lock/latches and fill old keyholes
£400
Peckham, Greater London, SE15
7th Apr 2026
I require the following jobs done at a terrace house in Peckham Rye: 1. Front door: replace the existing main door dead/mortice lock with a lock that can be opened from the inside without use of a key, i.e. thumb turn. Ideally, please provide 1 key per tenant, plus 1 spare for the agent = total of 5 keys. If you cannot do this, please let me know how many keys you can provide and I will arrange with the tenants to organise additional copies. 2. Bedrooms: neatly fill all bedroom door keyholes with a solid filler to ensure that the locks are rendered permanently inoperable. There are 3 bedrooms but I don't recall if they all have keyholes, there might just be two. 3. Bathrooms: remove the latches on the upstairs and downstairs bathroom doors and add a privacy lock which can be operated by thumb-turn mechanism alone. There are 2 bathrooms with one door each. I have photos of some but not all the doors in question (apologies for the poor quality one, this is a screenshot from a video I took of the middle bedroom). EDIT: I would need you to provide all materials. You will need to coordinate with the tenants for access at a mutually convenient time. I will put you in touch once the job is allocated.
