A smart lock costs about $300 installed on average, with most homeowners paying $250 to $400 for the lock, accessories and setup.1 The lock itself runs $100 to $450 depending on type, and professional labor adds roughly $50 to $200.1,3 Prices below are national averages* for 2026.
*National averages, not local quotes. Your price depends on lock type, brand, whether your door needs changes, and who installs it.

Yelp’s own quote data is lower than the guides: its typical price is $115, with quotes running from $45 to $195, based on 2,656 quotes. Yelp’s separate editorial range for a handyman or locksmith, lock included, is $150 to $425. Many Yelp quotes are probably labor-only swaps of a customer-supplied lock.2
How long it takes
Professional installation typically takes 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your existing lockset and the new hardware.2 Most smart locks are built to replace a standard deadbolt, so the job is mostly removing the old lock and fitting the new one.
Costs after the install
Batteries are the main ongoing cost. Some models use solar-rechargeable batteries that cost a little more up front.2 Eufy notes some apps charge $5 to $15 a month for premium features, so check that before you buy.3
DIY or hire
Many smart locks are designed for homeowner installation and need only a screwdriver. If your door is drilled to the standard size, DIY removes the labor cost entirely, leaving only the lock and batteries.1,3 A handyman or locksmith makes sense if the door needs modification or you want it rekeyed. Home Depot’s smart lock category lists models by type so you can compare price against features first.
