New Locks, Installed Right
A good lock badly installed is a weak lock. A deadbolt that doesn’t fully extend, a strike plate held by short screws, or a latch that rubs every time you close the door all cost you security. Prime Locksmith Services installs new locks for homes and businesses across St. Louis and fits them properly, so they lock cleanly and stand up to a kick or a pry bar.
We install deadbolts, knob and lever sets, handle sets, patio door locks, keypad locks and high-security cylinders from brands such as Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. We can bring the hardware, or install locks you have already bought.
For lock installation in St. Louis or any job for a residential locksmith in St. Louis, call (314) 745-4590.
How We Install Your Locks
From choosing the hardware to a door that closes smoothly.
Tell us about the doors
Which doors, what lock you have now, and what you want: keyed, keypad or high security.
Hardware and price
We recommend hardware that fits your door and budget, and quote it upfront.
Measure and prep
We check the backset and bore holes and adjust the door so the bolt throws fully.
Install and reinforce
New lock, a solid strike plate and long screws into the door frame.
Key alike and test
All new locks can be keyed to one key. We test every one before we leave.
The cheapest upgrade: longer strike screws.
Many front doors are held shut by strike plate screws that only reach the thin trim. Three-inch screws into the wall stud make the door far harder to kick in, and we fit them with every deadbolt we install.
Lock Installation Prices
Prime Locksmith Services’ own price ranges from our pricing page. The final price depends on the hardware you pick.
| Service | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Residential lock change, installed (per lock) | $75 to $250 |
| Residential lock installation | $50 to $300 |
| Keypad lock installation | $100 to $600 |
| Commercial lock installation | $75 to $600 |
| High-security locks | $250 to $1,099 |
What moves the price: the lock and brand, whether the door needs new holes drilled or adjusting, and how many locks are keyed alike. Call (314) 745-4590 for a quote.

Single and double cylinder deadbolts, Grade 1 and 2, fitted with reinforced strike plates.

Choosing the Right Lock
A few questions decide the best fit.
- Is it an exterior door? Use a Grade 1 or 2 deadbolt
- Is there glass within reach of the lock?
- Do you want one key for every door?
- Do you want keyless entry for family or guests?
Signs It Is Time for New Locks
Rekeying fixes lost keys. These call for new hardware.
- The key sticks or the bolt doesn’t fully extend
- The lock was damaged in a break-in attempt
- The lock is a light-duty builder grade lock
- Only lost keys? Rekeying may be enough
