    As long as you know how to use a screwdriver its simple to do yourself, most locks around HKD100-150 to buy

    A handyman will charge you as much as $500. Do it yourself and annoy your neighbours at the same time!

    Why would your neighbours be annoyed, unless you need to use a dril to change the lock?!?!l
