Door Hardware Installation FAQs
These are the questions I get about door hardware installation.
How much does door hardware cost?
Door hardware installation starts at $150 per door. Standard passage sets and privacy sets run $150, while full locksets with deadbolts run $150-200 depending on hardware complexity.
Do I need to buy hardware first?
You can purchase your own hardware, or I can source matching sets for you. Brands like Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and Emtek offer good options across price points and finishes from nickel to matte black.
Can you re-key locks?
Yes, I can re-key existing Schlage and Kwikset locksets to match your other locks or provide a new key set so all entry points use the same key.
What if my door doesn't latch properly?
I adjust the strike plate mortise and door alignment as needed so the latch engages cleanly and the lock operates without binding. This step is often skipped and causes long-term hardware wear.
Can you match my existing finishes?
Yes, I coordinate finishes across all doors in the home so knobs, levers, and hinges match or complement each other throughout.

Door hardware installation covers the full range of locksets, handlesets, passage sets, privacy locks, deadbolts, door knobs, and lever-handle assemblies used on interior and exterior doors throughout a home. Hardware quality varies significantly: entry-level products use lighter internal mechanisms and thinner finish plating, while mid-to-high grade hardware from brands like Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, and Emtek uses more durable materials, better tolerances, and finishes that hold up longer under daily use. Backset measurement, the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole, is either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches on most residential doors and needs to match the new hardware selection.
In the Twin Cities east metro, door hardware replacement is commonly requested as part of a whole-home update where mismatched or worn hardware is being replaced with a consistent finish across all doors, during a renovation when new doors are being installed and need hardware, or after a lock change for security purposes between owners or tenants. Getting hardware seated correctly, with the latch bolt retracting and extending smoothly, the strike plate aligned so the bolt engages without resistance, and the lock cylinder operating cleanly, is the functional outcome that matters beyond just the aesthetic upgrade.
