Residential lockout in Dupont Circle

This is emergency work. Call (202) 900-5625. It is outside the grand opening discount.

Townhouses and converted mansions

Townhouses, small embassies, and mansion apartments share the same blocks. The Metro sits under the circle. Garage parking is under the larger buildings. Meters on Connecticut Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue turn over fast, and the circle itself is a bad place to stop.

On this visit

A Dupont townhouse lockout often involves a tall mortise with a decorative rosette and a second leaf on the carriage side that the caller forgot. Look down the alley before you call. That leaf sometimes still turns.

Frequent questions

The door is ornate. Will you drill it?

We start with a method that leaves the door intact. Drilling is discussed only if that fails.

Where do you park?

In a building garage or a legal meter. We do not hold a lane in the circle.
