Columbia Heights is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in DC. Its center is 14th Street NW at the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green Line, beside the DCUSA shopping center and the Tivoli Theatre building. 11th Street has its own row of restaurants and bars.
Housing ranges from rowhouses, many split into apartments or shared as group houses, to prewar walk-ups and newer mid-rise buildings near the Metro.
Apartment and rental lockouts
Locked out near 14th Street or Park Road? We respond with non-destructive entry methods that get you back in without damaging the door.
Rekeying for move-ins and roommate changes
New lease or departing roommate, rekeying resets who has access without replacing the lock. See our Columbia Heights rekey page for pricing and turnaround times.
Group houses
A house with five or six tenants can have a dozen keys in circulation. We rekey exterior doors when the household changes and add bedroom locks if housemates want them.
Landlords and property managers
We work directly with owners of multi-unit buildings on rekeys and hardware upgrades between tenants.
Homeowners
For owner-occupied rowhouses we install deadbolts and smart locks on front, rear and basement doors.

Columbia Heights Locksmith FAQs
Can you rekey my Columbia Heights apartment after a new lease starts?
Yes, once your landlord agrees. In a group house we can key the front door and bedroom doors so each tenant’s key opens only the doors it should.
What should I do if I’m locked out near 14th Street or Park Road?
Call us and we’ll dispatch a technician using non-destructive entry to avoid damaging your door.
Do you coordinate with landlords on rekeys between tenants?
Yes. Landlords and property managers can book rekeys between tenants with us, and we can key several units to a master so management keeps access.
Can you install a smart lock on an apartment door in Columbia Heights?
Yes. With keys changing hands often in rentals and group houses here, a keypad lock lets you delete an old code instead of rekeying; landlord approval comes first.
Do you service rowhouse conversions as well as larger apartment buildings?
Absolutely. We work on both prewar rowhouse conversions and newer mid-rise apartment buildings throughout the neighborhood.
