Calls we often get in Petworth
New Petworth and Brightwood homeowners often ask us to rekey every exterior lock the week they move in, and to add a deadbolt to a basement or rear door that has never had one. Detached garages with old padlock hasps or worn locks come up often too.
Older porch-front rowhouses
Many 20011 rowhouses have original front doors with glass panels close to the lock. We can talk you through deadbolt options for doors like these, including the fire-safety trade-off of double-cylinder locks.
