Old Town doors and newer Potomac Yard buildings

Old Town is historic townhouses on a grid. Potomac Yard is newer buildings with lobbies. King Street Metro anchors the trip. Meters on King Street turn over too fast for a locksmith visit.

On this visit

Old Town shutters and a painted reveal mean we protect the trim while we work. If a boot scraper or a railing boxes the stoop, tell us. Potomac Yard glass lobbies are a different door and should be named as such.

Frequent questions

Will you drill an old front door?

Only if a careful method fails and you agree. These doors are not treated like a new slab.

How do you reach Old Town?

From Adams Morgan, typically half an hour or more. King Street traffic adds time on weekends.
