Did You Know? Government Security Facts That Define the Stakes in New York City

New York City manages thousands of government-owned and government-leased buildings across all five boroughs, making the city one of the largest single property management entities in the United States. Each of these facilities requires security infrastructure that meets city, state, and in some cases federal standards
The physical security of government buildings is directly linked to the operational continuity of public services. A security failure at a city agency office, a court building, or a municipal service center can disrupt services for thousands of New York residents and create legal liability for the city
Tailgating, where unauthorized individuals follow credentialed staff through secure entry points, is among the most common and most preventable physical security failures in government buildings. Electronic access control with anti-tailgating features is one of the most effective countermeasures available
New York City government buildings increasingly serve as targets for social engineering attempts, where individuals attempt to access restricted areas by impersonating contractors, vendors, or government personnel. Video intercom systems with identity verification protocols are a critical defense layer in these environments
Government facilities that have experienced security incidents, including unauthorized access events, theft of sensitive materials, or disruption of public services, face not only financial consequences but also significant reputational and political exposure that private organizations do not
Paragon Security & Locksmith holds License #1395130 and D-U-N-S #781238738, the credentials and identifiers that government procurement processes require for vendor qualification, demonstrating our readiness to serve public sector clients at the highest professional standard

What Government Clients Gain With Paragon Security & Locksmith

Security Infrastructure That Meets Government Standards From Day One

Paragon Security & Locksmith designs every government facility security system with compliance as the starting point, not a final checklist item. Our licensed team is familiar with NYC DOB requirements, New York State security standards, and federal facility security guidelines, ensuring every system we deliver passes inspection, satisfies audit requirements, and meets the documentation standards that government accountability demands.

Complete Audit Trails That Protect the Facility and Its Personnel

Government facilities are accountable to the public in ways that private organizations are not. Clean, reliable, timestamped access logs, surveillance records, and incident documentation protect facility managers, building staff, and agency leadership when questions arise about security events, personnel behavior, or operational compliance. Paragon Security & Locksmith's systems are designed with documentation integrity as a core architectural requirement.

Government procurement processes benefit significantly from consolidated vendor relationships. Paragon Security & Locksmith covers every low voltage security scope, including access control, cameras, intercoms, alarms, life safety integration, and locksmith services, under a single contract with a single accountable point of contact. This simplifies vendor management, consolidates documentation, and eliminates the coordination gaps between multiple subcontractors that create compliance and performance risks in government environments.

Our Reviews

Trusted Solutions, Exceptional Results

Their diagnostic skills are very good
“They can be trusted to do what they say they are going to do and their diagnostic skills are very good.”

Raphael S.
Top notch experience.
“Arrived early, had the necessary parts, and the job was completed in around 20 minutes. Highest recommendation”

Mike D.
Very meticulous and professional
“Gal did an excellent job installing a smart lock for my home. Job was finished beautifully. Would highly recommend him and the company for any lock and security needs.”

McKenzie C.
I have nothing but praise for Paragon
“I have nothing but praise for Paragon. My apartment intercom handset hasn’t worked for a long time. My neighbor’s handset was replaced by Paragon and she recommended I call. Within a couple of days my inoperative equipment was replaced by a wonderful, timely, considerate young man who explained that the system is soon to be obsolete and I was just in time as the current equipment is not being made. I’m hoping my building considers Paragon to install a new system to bring us into the 21st century. Thank you for your excellent service.”

Gail S.
Kind, quick and efficient
“I called and Paul answered and arrived at my apartment very quickly. My bathroom door had accidentally locked and Paul got it open within a minute.”

Todd P.
Paul was fantastic
“He showed up after hours quickly and was able to get into our home after the lock clearly was heavily damaged. Without his help we would have been further impacted.”

Bryan T.
Highly recommend Paragon
“Gal was very professional and got us back on track. Highly recommend Paragon”

Roland M. New York, NY
Neighborhood gem!
“So convenient and friendly! Needed to get an extra key made today - it was a Mul-T-Lock so a little more complicated. It was incredibly fast and Will at the counter was especially nice and told me about their Tuesday “happy hour” on key cutting - 20% off. Our building uses Paragon for all our building’s keys. They also installed and fixed an electronic keypad for our front door and took the time to do it right. Neighborhood gem!”
