Smart door locks are no longer a futuristic luxury—homeowners across Phoenix and the nation now see them as a practical layer of security and convenience. Yet one question always comes first: “What will my smart door lock installation cost?” At CountBricks, we answer that in minutes, using real-time pricing, AI-powered takeoffs, and voice-driven estimating tools that eliminate guesswork.
Most residential installations managed through CountBricks fall between $180 and $420, materials and labor included. Your exact figure depends on the lock model, door material, existing wiring, and whether additional carpentry or smart-home integration is needed. Our AI estimator updates these numbers daily from in-market supplier feeds, so every quote reflects the price you would pay if the work began today.
• Hardware price – Basic Bluetooth deadbolts start around $120, while Wi-Fi models with fingerprint access can exceed $350.
• Labor – Standard retrofit installs run 1–2 labor hours. New slab doors or multipoint systems can add up to 4 hours.
• Connectivity add-ons – Modules that link the lock to hubs like Z-Wave or Matter range from $25–$60.
• Ancillary carpentry/electrical – Adjusting jambs, routing power, or extending low-voltage lines typically adds $40–$90.

Retrofit (Existing Door): Minimal prep, often re-using the current borehole. CountBricks numbers average $210.
New Construction: Pre-hung doors and builder’s plans let our AI bundle the lock with hinges and weatherstripping, usually $30–$50 less per unit thanks to bulk scheduling efficiencies.
• Hollow-core interior doors: Quick installs, low structural resistance, least expensive.
• Solid wood exterior doors: Require precision chiseling; mid-range pricing.
• Fiberglass or metal security doors: Need specialized bits and anti-corrosion treatments, raising labor and consumable costs.
• Biometric scanners add roughly $60 hardware premium.
• Keypad backlighting and weatherproof gaskets add $15–$20.
• Integrated video doorbells can double material cost but reduce overall system spend when bundled through CountBricks.com/services.
• Insurance discounts—ask your agent if UL-rated smart locks qualify.
• Energy efficiency—auto-lock routines cut HVAC loss from doors left ajar.
• Tax incentives—certain security upgrades may be deductible; consult your advisor.
Going the DIY route seems cheaper—until misaligned deadbolts or firmware glitches leave the door unusable. CountBricks crews guarantee:
• Factory-calibrated torque settings for longer hardware life
• Secure firmware flashing to close cyber-vulnerabilities
• Code-compliant low-voltage wiring that preserves warranty
The average rework call we receive after a DIY attempt adds $120 in corrective labor—almost the cost of professional service from the start.
CountBricks offers pay-as-you-protect packages. A two-phase plan spreads costs: phase one installs the smart lock; phase two adds sensors and cloud access. By batching trips, homeowners save 8–12% on total labor.
• Schedule installs mid-week to avoid weekend labor premiums.
• Bundle multiple doors; every additional lock drops per-unit cost by as much as 15%.
• Opt for battery models to skip dedicated wiring unless hard power is a must for your climate.
• Ask about CountBricks maintenance plans—yearly firmware checks cost less than a single emergency lockout visit.
• Review the CountBricks.com/portfolio to see which brands integrate best with your existing smart hub.
