Licensed, insured and bonded · Family-owned in DC since 2013
Tenleytown sits at one of the highest points in DC, where Wisconsin Avenue meets Nebraska Avenue and Albemarle Street. The Tenleytown–AU Metro station on the Red Line is the main stop for American University, a short ride away, and Fort Reno Park is just to the north.
Wisconsin Avenue carries the shops and apartment buildings. The streets on either side are mostly detached and semi-detached houses.
Student and rental lockouts
With a university nearby, late-evening lockouts are routine, especially in August and January when leases turn over. We respond with non-destructive entry that leaves your lock working.
Rekeying between leases and housemates
Shared houses change occupants every year. Whether you are a student starting a lease or a longtime resident changing roommates, a lock rekey resets who has access without replacing the lock. See residential locksmith.
Landlords and property managers
We work directly with owners and managers of AU-area rentals on turnover rekeys, lock replacement and hardware upgrades between tenants.
Family homes
For the detached houses off Wisconsin Avenue we install deadbolts and smart locks and bring side and basement doors up to standard.
Shops on Wisconsin Avenue
Storefronts can call us for lock repair, rekeying and lockouts. See commercial locksmith.

Nearby neighborhoods

Tenleytown Locksmith FAQs
Can you rekey my Tenleytown apartment after a new lease starts?
Yes, with your landlord’s approval. Rekeying changes the pins inside the existing lock so keys from previous tenants stop working, and you receive new keys at the end of the visit.
What should I do if I’m locked out near American University?
Call us with your address or nearest cross street. If you are a student locked out of a dorm or university building, contact campus housing first, since those locks are managed by the university.
Do you coordinate with property management companies in Tenleytown?
Yes. Property managers can schedule rekeys and lock changes between tenants with us, and we can key units to a master system so management keeps access while each tenant’s key opens only their unit.
Can you install a smart lock on a Tenleytown apartment or home?
Yes. If you rent near American University, ask your landlord first; we can then install a keypad lock and leave the original hardware with you to put back when you move out.
Do you service single-family homes as well as apartment buildings in Tenleytown?
Absolutely. We work on both, from AU-area apartment buildings to single-family homes on the neighborhood’s residential streets.
