Historic Anacostia lies just across the river from Navy Yard, centered on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and Marion Barry Avenue SE. The Anacostia Metro station is on the Green Line, and Frederick Douglass’s home at Cedar Hill overlooks the neighborhood.
The historic district is known for its nineteenth-century wood-frame houses and cottages with front porches, alongside brick rowhouses and storefronts on the main avenues.
Locks on historic Anacostia homes
Older frame houses often have original mortise locks or doors that have been cut and patched for several different locks. We repair what can be saved and fit new deadbolts neatly where it cannot. See lock repair.
Rekeying after a purchase or renovation
Renovation is active across Anacostia. If you have bought a renovated house, rekey it: contractor keys are easy to lose track of. See lock rekey and our residential locksmith page.
Upgrades
We install deadbolts and smart locks on front, rear and basement doors. If an old door can no longer hold a lock securely, see door replacement.
Shops on the avenues
Storefronts along MLK Avenue and Marion Barry Avenue can call us for lock repair, rekeying after staff changes and lockouts. See commercial locksmith.
Locked out in Anacostia
We use non-destructive entry to open doors and leave original hardware intact.
Why Anacostia residents call us
We have served Anacostia homeowners and renters since 2013. Every technician is licensed, bonded and insured.
