The Southwest Waterfront is the residential neighborhood behind The Wharf, around 4th Street SW, M Street SW and Maine Avenue, served by the Waterfront Metro station on the Green Line. Arena Stage and the Municipal Fish Market are both here.
Most of the neighborhood was built in the 1960s: mid-century high-rises, townhouse clusters and several large co-ops. Newer apartment buildings have since gone up around the Metro and toward the water.
Mid-century buildings and co-ops
Doors in the older towers and co-ops often carry original mortise locks, and many buildings have rules about which hardware residents may install. We repair and rekey existing locks and, when you want an upgrade, help you choose something that meets the building’s requirements. See lock repair and residential locksmith.
Townhouses
The townhouse clusters have ground-level front doors and patio doors. We add deadbolts, service sliding-door locks and rekey for new owners.
Newer apartments and smart locks
In the newer buildings we open unit doors, reprogram or rekey locks between residents and install smart locks where management permits.
Lockouts
Whichever tower you live in, we use non-destructive entry to get you back inside.
Building managers
We work with managers and boards on master key systems and building-wide rekeying, and on doors that need new hardware; see door replacement.
Why Southwest Waterfront residents call us
Our team is licensed, bonded and insured, and comfortable with both sixty-year-old mortise locks and current electronic hardware.
Southwest Waterfront Locksmith FAQs
Can you install a smart lock on a Southwest Waterfront condo door?
Yes, we install and program smart locks and keypad entry systems for Southwest Waterfront condos, and we’ll check ahead of time that it fits your unit’s door.
What do I do if I’m locked out of my apartment near the Southwest Waterfront?
Call us and we’ll dispatch a technician familiar with both older and newer building hardware common in the area.
Do you work with condo or apartment building management here?
Yes, we regularly work with building management along the Southwest Waterfront, handling master key systems and shared-access hardware for the whole property.
Can you rekey a smart lock, or only traditional locks?
It depends on the model — a lot of smart locks get reprogrammed rather than rekeyed. Let us know what’s on your door and we’ll walk you through the options.
