Replace door hardware

A pro swaps knobs, levers, deadbolts, and hinges on your interior doors.

About an hour for a few doors on site

What this job involves

The old knob and latch come out and the new set goes in the same holes. If the new hardware needs a different hole size, the pro drills it out. Hinges can be swapped one at a time so the door stays hung. Strike plates are adjusted so the door latches without slamming. Older doors sometimes have odd hole spacing that needs a fill plate.

What to have ready

  • A count of doors and what each needs
  • The new hardware on hand
  • A photo of a current knob and the edge of the door
  • Whether any doors do not latch now

What a fair price looks like

Most homeowners in our area pay between $100 and $300 for this job. Labor with hardware supplied by the homeowner.

This is a range to help you judge a quote, not a quote. The pro you are matched with gives you their own price, in writing for anything over $1,000, and you pay them directly. We charge the pro a small flat fee only after the job is done. We never ask you for payment.

What a good pro will ask you first

  • How many doors?
  • Knobs, levers, or locks?
  • Is the door edge bored for a standard latch?
  • Any doors that stick or do not close?
