The local picture in Baltimore

Fells Point and Federal Hill hold some of the city's oldest row houses, many from the late 1700s and 1800s. Many older row houses have flat or low-slope roofs with tar or rubber membranes.

Formstone, a stucco facing made to look like stone, covers many row house fronts in Highlandtown and Hampden. Older buildings may have mortise locks, buzzer systems and shared entrances that need specialized work.

Humidity can make doors swell in summer, so a deadbolt that worked fine in spring may stick in July. Shared party walls and connected roofs mean leaks can travel between neighboring row houses.

Who handles what in Baltimore

Ask the locksmith for ID, the company name and a written price before any work begins. Renters should check with the landlord before changing or rekeying locks, since many leases require it. If you share a building entrance, mention it, since common doors are usually the landlord's or the association's call.
