Tree-lined residential street with older detached houses and front porches

Takoma sits at DC’s northern tip, where the District meets Takoma Park, Maryland. Around the Takoma Metro station on the Red Line you find apartments and shops along Carroll Street and 4th Street NW. A few blocks away, the streets are lined with Victorian houses, bungalows and four-squares, many of them inside the Takoma Park Historic District.

Locks on older Takoma houses

Houses from the early 1900s rarely have standard doors. We regularly see mortise locks set into thick wooden doors, skeleton-key interior locks and several generations of add-on deadbolts.

Where the original hardware is sound, we repair or rekey it so the door keeps its character. Where it is worn out, we fit a modern deadbolt that suits the door. Read more about lock repair and high-security hardware for entry doors.

Rekeying for new owners

Homes here change hands less often than in most of the city, which means a house may have had the same keys for thirty years. Rekeying on move-in day resets that history. See our residential locksmith page or the dedicated lock rekey page for pricing.

Lockouts in Takoma

Porch doors, side doors and basement entries give us several ways into most Takoma houses without damage. We use non-destructive entry first and only discuss drilling when a lock leaves no alternative.

Apartments and shops near the Metro

For apartments near the station we rekey between tenants and install keypad locks. Shop owners on Carroll Street and 4th Street can call us for storefront lock repair and rekeying after staff changes.
