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.
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.
