Brightwood runs along Georgia Avenue NW in Upper Northwest, between Petworth to the south and Takoma to the north, with 16th Street on its western side. Fort Stevens is here, and Kennedy Street is the neighborhood’s smaller commercial strip.
There is no Metro station in Brightwood itself, so most people drive or take the Georgia Avenue and 16th Street buses. Housing is a mix of brick rowhouses, semi-detached homes, detached houses and garden apartment buildings.
Rekeying and lock changes
Bought a house off Georgia Avenue, or taken over a rental? A lock rekey is the quickest way to control who has a key. If the locks are old, we replace them and key every door alike. See our residential locksmith page for more.
Apartment buildings
Brightwood has many mid-century apartment buildings. We rekey units between tenants and repair the worn locks and latches that come with decades of use.
Car lockouts
Because so many residents drive, we see plenty of car lockouts and lost car keys here. We come to your street or driveway.
Security upgrades
We fit deadbolts and smart locks on front, rear and basement doors. If the door or frame is damaged, see door replacement.
Locked out in Brightwood
We open homes with non-destructive entry wherever the hardware allows.
