Licensed, insured and bonded · Family-owned in DC since 2013
Deanwood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in far Northeast DC, set between Minnesota Avenue, Sheriff Road and Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue. The Deanwood Metro station on the Orange Line is at its western edge, and Marvin Gaye Park runs along Watts Branch to the south.
Much of Deanwood was built house by house in the early 1900s. You see wood-frame and brick detached homes with porches and yards, with newer infill houses between them.
Working on older Deanwood doors
Hand-built houses mean non-standard doors. We often find locks that no longer line up with the strike because the door or frame has settled. A lock repair and a properly fitted strike plate usually fix this without new hardware.
When a lock is worn out, we replace it with a deadbolt sized to the existing door. If the door itself is failing, see door replacement.
Rekeying when a home changes hands
Many Deanwood homes pass between family members or are sold after renovation. Either way, a lock rekey makes sure only current keys work. Other home services are listed on our residential locksmith page.
Lockouts and lost keys
We open doors using non-destructive entry, and we can cut new keys on the spot if yours are lost.
