Columbia Heights mixes rowhouses with older apartment buildings and newer condos, so a locksmith here sees everything from hundred-year-old mortise locks to keypad deadbolts. We open and rekey unit doors in multi-family buildings, service the heavier hardware on rowhouse front doors, and set up separate keys for basement apartments and shared entrances.

What the dispatcher will ask, and why
- What kind of lock or vehicle it is. A standard deadbolt, a high-security cylinder and a push-to-start car each need different tools and parts.
- Whether the key is lost or locked inside. A lockout is quick. A lost key may also call for a rekey or a new key.
- Whether anything is damaged. A broken key, a forced door or a failed lock changes what the technician brings.
- How many locks or keys you need. Doing several in one visit is more efficient than separate trips.
With those answers the dispatcher can tell you what the job involves before the technician sets off.
