The locks on Logan Circle doors
Logan Circle has a mix of rowhouses and apartment buildings, so the hardware varies door to door: old mortise locks on houses, deadbolts and levers on unit doors, and shared entrance doors that have to latch reliably for everyone.
A security checklist for Logan Circle
- If you share an entrance, make sure the door closes and latches on its own
- Rekey after a roommate or tenant moves out
- Add a deadbolt to any exterior door that has only a knob lock
- Do not leave a spare key under the mat or in the mailbox
