HOW MUCH DOES SMART LOCK INSTALLATION COST IN AUSTRALIA?
Understand smart lock installation cost in Australia, including door compatibility, retrofit complexity, Lockery installation add-ons, and when to request a fit check.
Smart lock installation cost depends on the lock type, the existing door hardware, whether new holes or mortice work are required, and whether the door needs alignment work before the lock can operate smoothly.
For Lockery, the current professional installation add-on is AUD $250 for Mini and AUD $350 for Pro when available for your location and door setup.
WHY INSTALLATION PRICES VARY
A simple retrofit can be straightforward when the door thickness, latch position, spindle path, and existing cut-outs line up with the new lock.
Costs rise when a door needs additional cutting, a different lock body, correction for misalignment, or extra time because the existing hardware does not match the smart lock format.
- +Door thickness and material
- +Existing latch, deadbolt, or mortice hardware
- +Backset and spindle alignment
- +Old cut-outs that need covering or correcting
- +Apartment, strata, fire-rated, or security-door restrictions
MINI HAS THE SIMPLER INSTALLATION PATH
Lockery Mini uses a single tongue/latch retrofit lock body and suits compatible 35mm to 60mm doors. It works best where the current setup is already close to the required format.
It is still worth checking first, especially if the door has unusual trim, an oversized old lock body, or a separate deadbolt above the handle.
PRO IS MORE FEATURE-RICH AND MORE INVOLVED
Lockery Pro has a mortice lock body with four locking tongues, a larger external unit, camera features, biometric hardware, and an indoor display. The result is a more capable front-door system, but the installation has more variables.
For Pro, door thickness and the existing lock body matter a lot. The best next step is a door-fit check before assuming the install will be simple.
HOW TO AVOID SURPRISE COSTS
Take clear photos of the inside of the door, outside of the door, and door edge. Include the existing latch, strike plate, handle, key cylinder, and any visible screw positions.
Measure door thickness and backset before buying. These details help Lockery identify likely fit issues before you commit to a product or installation add-on.
Takeaway
The advertised installation add-on is only part of the story. Door suitability is what keeps the job predictable.
