Lucky23 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 What is a fair price to pay for deadbolt lock installation per deadbolt lock? I know that the actual cost of the lock is a variable. Is it realistic to pay roughly $250 pesos to $300 pesos per lock for a good quality deadbolt lock? We will be buying 5 deadbolt locks where one side has a space for the key and the other side has a knob. We received one quote for $3,500 pesos for this (5 deadbolt locks and 5 installations of the locks) and that seems excessive. This quote above if the cost (my guess) of the locks is roughly $1,500 leaves install cost of $2,000 pesos or $166 US or $33 US per lock. Just seems like a lot of money to pay a locksmith in Mexico. Any recommendations for a locksmith or location of a lock store - I would buy the locks myself then have them installed if that is needed. Would also be pleased to know what you paid for good locks and install. Gracias in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regc80 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I used the one in Chapala. I think he ripped me off. He charged me 500 pesos for the lock and 300 pesos for installation for a dead bolt. he acted a little fishy, maybe because he knew he was overcharging me?

Always ask for a quote first. Price depends on quality of lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type of locks Installation procdures I have much Security work done, and the best is Heraberto(and family) in Chapala I agree that there are too many unknowns but my quote has zero detail. Thanks for the Heraberto suggestion. I will look into a quote with him. I'm not sure about brand names available in Mexico or the quality of locks - So input is always welcomed. I'm looking for a solid lock that works well at a fair price - not a flimsy cheap lock. It is also helpful to know about lock brands to steer clear of.. Thanks again folks...

Go for Schlage better quality or look in Home Depot.
