Homes and buildings in Shaw
Many rowhouses here have been split into two or three condos, so a single building can have a shared street door, separate unit doors and a basement entrance. Each needs its own lock plan. Newer apartment buildings usually manage the main entrance themselves, while your unit door is yours to secure.
Locksmith work we do most in Shaw
Rekeying condo conversions
New owners in converted rowhouses often have no idea who still holds keys from the renovation. Rekeying the unit door is a quick way to take back control.
Restaurant and bar locks
Back-of-house doors, office locks and liquor storage take heavy use. We repair worn cylinders and set up keys so closing staff open only what they need.
Deadbolts on older doors
Original rowhouse doors may have thin frames. We fit deadbolts with long strike screws that reach the framing.
Lockouts
Locked out of a unit or a shared front door? Call and tell us which door it is.
Calls we often get in Shaw
A typical Shaw call is a resident locked out of a condo whose building door shuts and locks behind them, or a restaurant manager whose back door cylinder has finally worn out after years of deliveries. We also rekey a lot of units after closings, because renovated rowhouses pass through developers, contractors and agents before the buyer gets the keys.
Parking and access
Street parking near the Convention Center and along 7th and 9th Streets can be tight. When you call, tell us the cross street, whether there is an alley entrance, and which door you need opened so the technician goes straight to the right place.
Local tip for Shaw residents
If you own a condo in a converted rowhouse, check with your association before changing the shared front door lock. Changing it without telling neighbors leaves them locked out; rekey your own unit door instead.
Shaw locksmith questions
Can you key my unit and the building door to one key?
If the association agrees and the locks are compatible, yes. Otherwise we can rekey your unit door alone.
Do you serve Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park?
Yes. Both fall within our coverage of the 20001 zip code.
Can you cut keys for a restaurant's staff?
Yes, and we can use restricted keys so staff can't make their own copies.
