Calls we often get in Deanwood and Benning
In Deanwood, Benning and Capitol View we are often called to replace locks after a break-in, to change locks for landlords at the end of a tenancy, and to open cars where keys were locked inside. Residents also ask about stronger deadbolts for side and rear doors.
Securing a door after a break-in
When a door has been forced, the strike area of the frame is often split. We replace the lock and can fit a longer strike plate with screws that reach the wall framing, which makes the door much harder to kick in again.
Local tip for Deanwood residents
After a forced entry, check the door frame as well as the lock. A new lock on a split frame won't hold; the strike needs solid wood behind it.
