Plate 01 · Adams Morgan, Dupont & U Street
Rowhouse condos
Many big Dupont and Adams Morgan rowhouses have been split into two to four condos. That means a shared front door with a lock everyone needs a key to, plus each unit's own door. When one owner sells, the new owner rekeys their unit; the shared door usually needs the association's agreement.
Nightlife corridors
Bars and restaurants along 18th Street and U Street change staff constantly. Rekeying back doors, liquor storage and office doors is routine maintenance. A master-key system means the owner carries one key while staff keys open only what they need.
Embassy-row Kalorama
Large houses and apartment buildings in Kalorama often have heavy, high-quality locks. Some use restricted keys that only certain dealers can cut. If your keys are stamped 'do not duplicate' or carry a code, mention it.
South of the circle in 20036, office buildings and apartment towers follow the downtown pattern: card access at the lobby, cylinder locks on suites and units.

Weekend nights on 18th and U Streets mean heavy foot traffic and road closures. If you're locked out of a car or building there late, tell dispatch the nearest corner and wait somewhere well lit.
The old 20036 page now points here.
Kalorama and the streets off Connecticut Avenue also have many older apartment buildings with original brass mailboxes and storage-cage locks. Those belong to the building, so ask management before calling; your unit door is yours to rekey.
U Street rowhouses converted to offices and salons upstairs often have a separate street door for the upper floor; key that one apart from the shop below.
