Q: Is it less expensive to rekey or replace locks?

• <div><p>Rekeying a lock is less expensive than replacing the whole unit. The cost to rekey is about <b>$50 to $100</b> when you hire a pro or as little as <b>$10</b> if you DIY. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/change-door-locks-cost.htm">cost to change a lock</a> is <b>$130 to $500</b>, depending on the hardware you select.</p></div>

Q: Are smart deadbolts worth it?

• <div><p>While a strong conventional deadbolt offers enough security for most homeowners, if you&rsquo;re looking for extra features beyond just simple locking, smart deadbolts are the way to go. Smart deadbolts allow for keyless entry using your phone or a code, remote access in case someone is locked out, and features like temporary access codes, automatic locking, tamper alerts and entry-exit monitoring. Smart deadbolts also come with downsides: they rely on batteries and wireless networks and are potentially vulnerable to hacking by skilled home intruders.</p></div>

Q: How do burglars snap locks?

• <div><p>Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.</p></div>

Q: Can you install a deadbolt yourself?

• <div><p>Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.</p></div>

Q: How long do digital door locks last?

• <div><p>Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That&rsquo;s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That&rsquo;s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/change-door-locks-cost.htm">cost to change locks</a> ranges from <b>$130 to $500</b> on average. </p></div>
