What Is an Access Control System?
An access control system allows you to control who can enter specific doors, rooms, or areas of your building. Instead of traditional keys, access is managed through:
- Keycards and key fobs
- Mobile credentials and smartphone apps
- PIN keypads
- Biometric readers
- Cloud-based management platforms
For commercial and multi-tenant buildings in NYC, access control improves security, simplifies tenant management, and creates a clear audit trail of entry activity.

Access Control System Installation in NYC
Every building is different. Older high-rises in Manhattan do not operate the same way as a newer commercial property in Queens or a multi-tenant building in the Bronx. Our installation process reflects that reality.
System Design & Planning
Before installation begins, we assess:
- Number of controlled doors
- Existing door hardware and frame conditions
- Electrical and network infrastructure
- Server room availability
- Cloud-based vs on-premise preferences
- Tenant access needs
We design systems that fit your building’s layout and operational requirements.
Hardware Installation
We install and configure:
- Electric strikes
- Magnetic locks
- Electrified mortise locks
- Access control panels
- Door readers
- Exit devices
- Backup power systems
Our team is experienced working in older NYC buildings where masonry, steel framing, and retrofitting require precision.
Software Configuration & User Setup
After installation, we configure:
- User permissions
- Department-based access
- Time-restricted access
- Visitor credentials
- Audit reporting
- Remote management access
We ensure property managers and administrators understand how to manage their system confidently.
Access Control System Repair & Troubleshooting in NYC
Access control systems are technology-driven. Over time, components can fail or software can lose communication.
Common issues we resolve include:
- Card readers not responding
- Doors remaining unlocked
- System offline errors
- Key fob or credential failures
- Panel communication problems
- Power supply failures
- Integration issues with intercom systems
We provide a 24-hour response time from when a request is received and offer preventative maintenance options to reduce system downtime.
If your system is outdated, we will advise whether repair or upgrade makes more long-term sense.
Access Control System Installation Cost in NYC
The cost of installing access control in NYC varies depending on several factors:
- Number of doors
- Building layout
- Wiring requirements
- Integration with existing systems
- Cloud-based vs server-based management
- Type of credentials (fob, mobile, biometric)
- Hardware selection
Small office systems differ significantly from multi-tenant high-rise installations.
The best way to determine cost is through an on-site evaluation so we can provide an accurate scope and estimate.
Cloud-Based vs On-Premise Access Control Systems
Many NYC building owners are moving toward cloud-based systems. However, both options have advantages.
Cloud-Based Systems
- Remote access management
- Mobile credential compatibility
- Reduced server hardware
- Easier multi-building management
- Automatic updates
On-Premise Systems
- Local server control
- Internal network management
- Traditional IT structure
- Familiar infrastructure for older buildings
We help you determine which option best fits your operational structure and long-term goals.
