Home security upgrade: locks, gate and smart lock bundled
Some homeowners want to upgrade everything at once rather than call separately for a new main door lock, a gate lock repair or replacement, and a digital lock install. This bundles work that spans residential lock hardware and smart lock installation into a single project, usually done in one visit so you are not paying multiple callout charges or coordinating separate schedules.
- Typical scope: rekey or replace the main door lock, service or replace the metal gate lock, and install a digital lock on one or both
- Common trigger points: moving into a resale flat, after a break-in attempt, or before renting out a property
- Worth asking if the locksmith handles both the mechanical and digital side, or if they subcontract the smart lock portion
Getting one locksmith to assess the whole entryway can flag issues, like a misaligned gate or worn strike plate, that would otherwise cause problems for a newly installed smart lock.
What it costs
Bundled jobs are usually quoted as a package after a site visit, since it depends on how many doors are involved, whether old hardware needs removal, and which smart lock model you choose. Doing it as one job can save on repeat callout fees compared to booking each piece separately.

FAQ
- Is it cheaper to bundle these jobs than book them separately?
- Often yes, mainly because you avoid paying a callout fee more than once, though the total still depends on the hardware chosen.
- Can I keep my existing gate lock and only upgrade the main door?
- Yes, the bundle is flexible. Many homeowners keep the gate mechanical and only add a smart lock to the main door, or vice versa.
- Do I need to be home for the whole job?
- Yes, since it typically involves removing old hardware and testing new locks on more than one door, expect the visit to take longer than a single lock swap.
