How much does it cost to install central locking in a car?

I have an older vehicle and want to upgrade the locking system for safety. How much is it to install central locking in a car? Can I do it myself, or do I need to hire someone?

That’s a great step to take in order to
make your car more secure
! Installing central locking can cost anywhere between $50 and $200 depending on the make and model of the vehicle and what your mechanic charges for labor.
You can always install a central locking system yourself if you feel confident in your DIY skills! Lock kits are available online and in car shops for as low as $20, but you may want to pay closer to $50 in order to get a quality anti-theft system.
