What Arlington’s commercial and multifamily properties need
Office buildings in Rosslyn and Courthouse
The office towers along the Rosslyn and Court House stretch of the Orange and Silver Line corridor see steady tenant turnover. Each move-in or move-out means rekeying suites, updating the restricted master key system, and adding or removing credentials in the access control system. We service panic bars and exit devices, closers and storefront locks on lobby and stairwell doors, and card readers on suite entries.
National Landing: Crystal City and Pentagon City
Crystal City and Pentagon City combine older office buildings, newer mixed-use towers and large apartment buildings, many sitting over underground garages. Typical requests here are cloud-based access control for lobbies and amenity spaces, garage gate operators and roll-up doors, and video intercoms that let residents and staff release doors and admit deliveries from a phone.
Multifamily and garden apartments
Arlington has a large stock of rental and condo buildings, from high-rises near Metro to garden apartment complexes. Telephone entry systems age out, keys get copied, and building gates take a beating. We replace apartment entry panels, repair or replace gate operators from brands like LiftMaster and DoorKing, and design master key systems that give maintenance staff the access they need without handing out more keys than necessary.
Some garden apartment communities, including Colonial Village and Buckingham, are Arlington County local historic districts. Check with the county’s historic preservation staff before changing exterior gates, fences or entry doors there.

Frequently asked questions
Usually, yes. We start by reviewing your current keying chart, or building one if records are missing, and checking which cylinders and keyways are in use. From there we can add new suites, rekey after tenant turnover, or move the building to a restricted high-security keyway so keys cannot be copied at a hardware store.
Yes. We service gate operators and roll-up garage doors for apartment and office garages, including LiftMaster and DoorKing equipment. We can also tie garage entry to card readers, fobs or a video intercom so residents, tenants and deliveries are handled without a separate key or remote for every user.
Yes. Many older entry panels depend on landlines or parts that are no longer made. We replace them with video intercoms or cloud-based entry systems that call residents’ phones, and we can add fob or card access at lobby doors, package rooms and amenity spaces. Property managers can call to schedule a site visit and quote.
