Plate 04 · How it works
What happens when you call
Call dispatch
Explain what's locked and where. Mention building access: concierge, buzzer, alley gate or parking garage.
Approximate estimate
You hear the $29 service call fee and a likely labor range before anyone sets off.
Price confirmed on site
The locksmith sees the lock and confirms the price before any work. You're free to say no.
Invoice and warranty
The independent locksmith invoices you; all major credit cards are accepted per the live site. Keep the invoice for the warranty.
Why District residents call
Building access sorted first
Dispatch asks about concierges, buzzers, alley entrances and garage levels, because in DC that's half the job.
Estimate before anyone drives
Parking and traffic make wasted trips expensive. You hear the likely cost on the phone, and it's confirmed on site.
Historic doors respected
Rowhouse doors in historic districts often keep original hardware. Rekeying preserves it.
Cards accepted
All major credit cards, per the live site.

Plate 07 · Questions
Frequently asked
What does a lockout cost in DC?
The sheet starts lockouts at $19.00 plus the $29.00 service call fee. The locksmith confirms the final price after seeing the lock.
Can you work on doors in a historic district?
Rekeying and repairing existing hardware doesn't change the door's appearance. If you want different exterior hardware, check the District's historic preservation guidance first.
Do you open federal or government building locks?
No. Federal and government buildings have their own facilities staff and security rules.
Who performs the work?
Locksmith Of Washington DC is a referral dispatch service; independent locksmith contractors do the work and invoice you. Read the terms.
