Navy Yard sits in Southeast Washington, in ZIP 20003, around Nationals Park, The Yards Park, M Street SE. This guide covers the locks you are likely to have here, what to check, and what to do when a key goes missing.
The locks on Navy Yard doors
In Navy Yard most homes are apartments and condos. The building entrance runs on a fob that management controls, and your own security comes down to the lock on your unit door, typically a deadbolt above a lever, sometimes a single interconnected lock.
A security checklist for Navy Yard
- Ask for the unit to be rekeyed when you move in; previous residents and contractors may still hold keys
- Confirm the deadbolt is a full one-inch throw
- Check your condo or lease rules before adding a smart lock
- Keep a spare key with someone you trust rather than relying on the front desk
