Historic Buildings. Modern Security Expectations.
Manhattan's building stock is unlike any other borough's. Class A office towers and high-rise commercial buildings need fire-rated assemblies, panic hardware, and access control that stands up to constant traffic and inspection. Pre-war co-ops and condos on the Upper West and Upper East Sides need entry and intercom modernization that respects older construction and board requirements. Harlem and Washington Heights multi-tenant buildings and Midtown and Financial District retail corridors round out the mix.
Each of those creates operational, code-compliance, and liability considerations for property managers, boards, and building owners.
Common Issues We Resolve
- Fire doors flagged at DOB/FDNY inspection
- Obsolete buzzer and audio-only intercom systems
- Uncontrolled entry and metal-key management across many tenants
- Failing storefront doors, closers, and panic hardware
- Co-op and condo boards needing a coordinated entrance upgrade
- Occupied buildings that can't close during the work
Note: Parker Custom Security does not pull permits or act as a DOB/FDNY inspection authority. We prepare properties and install fire-rated doors and hardware to code so they are inspection-ready.

Fire Rated Doors & Commercial Door Compliance
Fire-rated doors are a code requirement for Manhattan high-rise, Class A office, and multi-tenant buildings. Damaged hardware, improper repairs, missing closers, or non-compliant modifications can cause a fire-door assembly to fail inspection. Parker installs, replaces, and inspects fire-rated assemblies and preps buildings for DOB and FDNY review.
Fire ratings served: 20-minute through 3-hour assemblies. Stairwell, mechanical room, corridor, and Class A office applications, plus panic/exit hardware and hollow metal frames.
Parker installs, repairs, and maintains fire rated door systems to commercial building standards. We do not pull permits or act as a DOB/FDNY inspection authority — we prepare properties so they are inspection-ready.

Access Control Systems

Parker installs and services commercial-grade systems for Class A office buildings, co-ops, condos, and multi-tenant properties.
- Key fob, card, keypad, and mobile credentials
- Remote entry management and scheduling
- Multi-door and elevator access integration

Commercial & Video Intercom Systems
Many Manhattan co-ops, condos, and mixed-use properties still run on outdated audio-only intercoms. Modern video intercom and door-entry systems let residents see and screen visitors before releasing the door, and pair cleanly with access control on a single entrance panel.
- Video and audio intercom systems
- Smartphone-connected entry
- Multi-tenant directory systems
- Cloud-managed lobby entry
- Telephone entry systems
Common Upgrade Scenarios
- Replacing obsolete co-op and condo buzzer systems
- Upgrading analog to smart video intercom technology
- Improving resident and delivery access
- Integrating intercoms with access control

Storefront Door & Entry Security Upgrades
Manhattan retail and commercial tenants depend on storefront entrances that are secure, functional, and professional. Damaged aluminum doors, failing pivots, broken closers, worn locks, and outdated entry systems create safety problems and affect customer experience.
- Aluminum storefront door installation
- Heavy-duty security door upgrades
- Electric strike and magnetic lock installation
- ADA door hardware upgrades
- Reinforced commercial entry doors
