"It took over a week to receive an estimate after stopping by the store knowing exactly what I wanted. I never did receive one in writing, which I should have insisted upon. The service team was professional and courteous. They had to drill into my door and doorframe as I didn’t have a deadbolt previously. They cleaned everything up and showed me how to use the smart lock. I had to ask for an itemized receipt after paying online via Square. I was shocked when I looked it over. The pricing for the products (one wifi deadbolt and two replacement handle sets) was outrageous, Every item was marked up over 50% more than what I would have paid from Lowes or online. The wifi deadbolt was marked up almost 60% ($175 over Lowes and other retail prices). I went in to the store to talk to the manager about it. He had no sympathy and claimed he needed to mark product up that much in order to pay his staff, and that’s part of what comes in dealing with a small business. It was clear from the moment the conversation began that he was not going to budge on his pricing. He had my money and that was that. Shame on me for not insisting on a written estimate. Shame on him for his ridiculous price gouging and taking advantage of his customers. FYI - Holland Lock charges for a service call and then labor on top of it, so I paid $70 for the service call and then an hour for the deadbolt install and half-hour to swap out the other two knobs. Summary: The on-site service was great, it took multiple follow ups to get a verbal estimate, and their pricing is extremely out of line. I cannot recommend them because of their pricing. I am very supportive of local businesses, but not when they price gouge."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should inspect your locks regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade.

Yes, keyless locks can deter burglars, mostly because they boost security and offer advanced features. Most models allow for unique codes or temporary access, making it harder for intruders to break in. Many of these smart locks even alert you if someone tries to tamper with them. However, you need to remember that while they provide an added layer of protection, no lock is completely foolproof. Pairing these locks with good security habits—like proper lighting and surveillance cameras—creates a strong defense to help stop intruders in their tracks.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

Rekeying a lock is less expensive than replacing the whole unit. The cost to rekey is about $50 to $100 when you hire a pro or as little as $10 if you DIY. The cost to change a lock is $130 to $500, depending on the hardware you select.

Although you should rekey your locks after moving into a new home, you may feel more comfortable replacing the locks entirely. Here are some other scenarios when you should replace your locks rather than rekey them:

  • When someone moves out of your home.

  • There are too many copies of the existing key.

  • Your home experiences any type of break-in.

  • You lose your key with the address on it.
