It takes a locksmith about 5-10 minutes to change locks. When changing locks, a locksmith will first have to open the old lock and then remove it from the door. Next, they will have to install the new lock and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, they will test the new lock to make sure it is working properly.
It depends on the type of lock and how experienced the locksmith is. Generally speaking, for a standard deadbolt, it should take about 5-10 minutes. If the locksmith has to cut the lock open, it will take longer.
