Congress Heights is in Southeast DC along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and Alabama Avenue SE, with its own Green Line Metro station. Next door, the St. Elizabeths East campus has been redeveloped with new housing and the Entertainment and Sports Arena.

Apartment lockouts and rekeys
A large share of residents here rent. We open apartment doors without damage and rekey units between leases. If you are a tenant, check whether your lease asks you to tell the landlord before a lock is changed; we can work with either side. See house lockout service and emergency locksmith.
Landlords and small buildings
Owners of duplexes and small apartment buildings call us to rekey at turnover, replace worn locks and set up a master key so one key opens every unit they own. Our residential locksmith page lists the full range of services.
Homeowners
For houses and duplexes, the common jobs are a lock rekey after purchase and a sturdier deadbolt on the front and back doors. If a door has been damaged, see door replacement.
