Woodley Park sits in Northwest Washington, in ZIP 20008, around the National Zoo, Connecticut Avenue, the Omni Shoreham. 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 Woodley Park doors
Woodley Park 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 Woodley Park
- 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
