When we moved into our house 4 yrs old we got the front, back, and 2 garage doors for less than 100.00 and they came within 2 hrs.

I live in Oklahoma and do handyman type work. I charge $10 per lock plus keys to re-key your old locks the same. You should expect to pay a service charge as well. I hope this helps.

~Depends on the quality of the hardware, the going rates for labor in your community, the rates of the craftsman you hire and the type of knobs and bolts you select. You could always save the labor costs by doing it yourself, but since you don’t have the ambition to call someone who does the work for an estimate, I presume you have neither the skill, knowledge nor gumption to try.

I did this after I found out my husband was cheating on me.
The price depends on two main things:-
1. the area you live in
2. how many doors need re-keying.
It cost me $325 for four doors and the reprogramming of the garage door, 1994.
When he came home I was at the upstairs bedroom window watching him trying to come in after the garage automatic didn’t work. He saw me and said “Darling I can’t get in”
I said “I know, I had the locks changed” he said, “Oh! throw down the keys…” I said, “Darling, after 30 years your days are OVER”….AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
It took a lot of nerve on my part and I felt awful doing it, but I should have done it years before…..do not do it yourself, it will take hours and you might mess up the appearance of the doors. Bad for re-sale!!!!

All he is going to do is go his supply shop (lowes and home depot) and buy a set that contains as many doors as you want changed.
He will then charge you for the parts plus labor…
You can do the same thing for MUCH cheaper…
