Locksmith 20016: Tenleytown, AU Park & Chevy Chase DC

Locksmith work in Tenleytown, AU Park & Chevy Chase DC

Upper Northwest is the most suburban corner of the District. Detached houses on large lots stretch from the Palisades above the Potomac through Spring Valley and AU Park up to Chevy Chase DC and Barnaby Woods. Houses here have more doors than most city homes: front, back, garage, side, patio, and often a gate or shed, and owners tend to want them all on one key with a high-security front cylinder.

Along Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues the picture changes again: apartment buildings near the Tenleytown and Friendship Heights Metro stations, student rentals around American University, and shops and offices at the District line. Lockouts, rekeys and lost car keys from the big shopping centres all come through here.

This page covers Tenleytown, American University Park, Spring Valley, Wesley Heights, Cathedral Heights and the Palisades, plus, in 20015, Chevy Chase DC, Friendship Heights and Barnaby Woods.

Local notes

American University and the Washington National Cathedral close have their own facilities teams; private homes and apartments nearby are covered.

Upper Northwest is spread out, so a street address and nearest cross street help, especially in the Palisades and Spring Valley where streets curve and some houses sit well back from the road.
