Shaw is one of Washington DC's most historically significant neighborhoods — the heart of Black Broadway in the early 20th century and home to the restored Howard Theatre, where Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Pearl Bailey once performed. Located in the 20001 zip code, Shaw sits just north of downtown, anchored by the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the 7th and 9th Street NW commercial corridors.
Shaw's residential streets are lined with Victorian rowhouses dating to the 1870s–1900s, many within the Shaw Historic District. Alongside this historic housing stock, the neighborhood has seen major new development — condo buildings, converted rowhouses, and mixed-use projects near the Shaw-Howard U and Mt Vernon Square Metro stations.
Shaw's Victorian rowhouses often still have original or early-retrofitted mortise lock sets, even in units that have been fully renovated inside. Forcing a modern lock into these older frames can crack original woodwork, so our technicians are trained to work carefully with historic doors.
Shaw's dense commercial corridors along 7th and 9th Street NW, plus the alley businesses in Blagden Alley, create steady demand for commercial rekeying, panic bar installation, and business lockout service. New condo residents near Shaw-Howard U also frequently need a fast rekey after move-in.
Many Shaw rowhouses in the Shaw Historic District still use mortise lock sets from the early 1900s. Replacing them incorrectly can damage original doors — we service them the right way.
