What you can call about

Four kinds of work cover nearly every call. Each page lists the jobs in detail and what to have ready.

Square 02 · How it works

One phone call, then a locksmith with the right tools

DC is a city of old doors. A Shaw rowhouse might still have a 1920s mortise lock behind a newer deadbolt; a Navy Yard tower uses fobs and a front-desk log; a Georgetown carriage house has a garage lock nobody has touched in years. Telling dispatch which of those you are dealing with saves a second trip.

Here is the short version. You call 202-753-3702. Dispatch asks where you are, what kind of lock it is and what happened. You hear an approximate estimate based on that description. A locksmith is sent, looks at the actual lock and confirms the price before starting.

No surprises in the paperwork either: the full price list and the terms are on this site, word for word.

Square 05 · Before you call

Four things that make the call quicker

  1. Your exact address

    Building name, unit, gate or alley entrance. DC addresses repeat across quadrants, so say NW, NE, SE or SW.

  2. The lock

    Deadbolt, knob, mortise, smart lock, padlock, or a car's make and year.

  3. Proof it's yours

    ID with the address, a lease or a registration. The locksmith will ask before opening anything.

  4. What happened

    Lost keys, a snapped key, a jammed bolt or a break-in. Each one changes the tools and the estimate.
