Licensed Installation & Full-Scope Service for New York City Businesses

Since 1996, Paragon Security & Locksmith has installed and serviced commercial access control systems for offices, retail businesses, property managers, and multi-tenant buildings across all five boroughs. Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained through our own internal certification process. We don’t use outside contractors, so every job is handled by a Paragon Security & Locksmith technician from the first site visit through post-installation support.

Commercial access control replaces traditional keys with electronic credentials, giving your business the ability to manage who enters specific areas, maintain audit trails, and revoke access when an employee leaves. We pair that electronic capability with the hardware knowledge of a full-service locksmith, covering the door, the frame, and the credential system as one integrated project.

Commercial Access Control Services We Provide

We install new systems, upgrade legacy hardware, and service existing access control installations across New York City. Whether you’re opening a new office, adding restrictions to sensitive areas, or replacing a card reader that’s failed, our team can assess and address it. We also integrate access control with your existing CCTV, intercom, and burglar alarm infrastructure, delivering a unified security platform without the coordination problems that can come from managing multiple vendors.

Our brand partners include Brivo, Swiftlane, ButterflyMX, Dormakaba, Axis, Comelit, Mul-T-Lock, Adams Rite, ILOQ, Schlage, Yale, Honeywell, and 2gig. That range means we can match the right system to your property’s layout, budget, and operational needs rather than defaulting to whatever a single manufacturer offers.

Access control can be installed on individual doors, server rooms, loading docks, elevator banks, parking entries, and shared common areas. Cloud-based platforms such as Brivo and Swiftlane allow property managers to grant or revoke credentials remotely and view access logs in real time from any internet-connected device.

Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and upfront pricing. No hidden fees, and no work begins until you’ve reviewed and approved the scope.

Types of Commercial Access Control Systems

The right credential type depends on how many people need access, how quickly that list changes, and how sensitive the areas being protected are. We install systems across the full range of options and can help you identify which format fits your property before any hardware is specified.

Key Card & Fob Systems

The most common starting point for small-to-midsize New York offices. Cards and fobs are low-friction for employees, straightforward to issue and revoke, and reliable for high-traffic entrances. Hardware cost is modest and the learning curve is minimal.

Mobile Credential Platforms

Employees use a smartphone app to unlock doors via Bluetooth or NFC, eliminating physical cards entirely. Platforms like Swiftlane are well-suited to property managers who need to onboard and offboard staff remotely without distributing physical hardware. We install and configure these systems for offices and multi-tenant buildings across New York City.

Cloud-Based Access Control

Brivo and ButterflyMX are among the cloud-managed platforms we work with. These systems allow administrators to manage credentials, view access logs, and receive alerts from any internet-connected device. For property managers overseeing multiple buildings, a cloud-based platform can reduce the need to travel to each site for routine credential changes.

Biometric Readers

Fingerprint and other biometric readers provide a high level of identity assurance by tying access to a physical characteristic rather than a credential that can be lost or shared. They’re best suited for server rooms, pharmaceutical storage, and other restricted areas where that level of control is warranted.

Keypad & PIN Entry

A practical choice for back-of-house doors, small teams, or low-traffic entries where simplicity and lower hardware cost take priority. These systems are easy to manage and don’t require credential issuance for each user.

Industries & Property Types We Serve

Our commercial access control work spans a wide range of property types across New York City, including office buildings, retail stores, fitness facilities, hotels and hospitality venues, higher education campuses, residential management portfolios, and active construction sites. Named clients include Crunch Fitness, Hilton Hotels, Avalon Bay, Greystar Real Estate, NYU, Douglas Elliman, Suffolk Construction, and Buchbinder and Warren.

Multi-tenant commercial buildings present some of the more complex access needs: shared lobbies, individual tenant suites, loading docks, parking garages, and elevator banks may each require separate access rules and credential levels. We design systems that accommodate those layers without creating siloed infrastructure that’s difficult to manage over time.

Our Commercial Access Control Installation Process

We start every project with a free on-site security assessment covering all entry points that need attention, from front entrances and internal suite doors to service entrances and restricted storage areas, before any hardware is specified or quoted.

System design follows from that assessment. We account for your existing CCTV, intercom, and alarm infrastructure during the design phase so the new access control system works with what you already have rather than running alongside it as a separate platform. Handling the full hardware and electronic scope ourselves removes the coordination gap that can appear when a business works with separate locksmith and technology vendors.

Installation is handled by our company-certified technicians, who arrive in Paragon Security & Locksmith vehicles with the tools to complete most jobs in a single visit. After installation, we walk your team through system operation and remain available for follow-up service, adjustments, and warranty support.

Our Reviews

Trusted Solutions, Exceptional Results

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!”

Kathy P.
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.
A flawless experience
“We recently had two camera technicians working in our building Flavio and Adrian, their service was truly outstanding. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and technical expertise. They explained each step clearly, worked carefully around the building, and made sure everything was functioning perfectly before finishing. In addition to their excellent work, they were extremely friendly and respectful with all the residents and building staff, which made the experience even better. Their dedication and positive attitude really stood out. Highly recommended for their professionalism and exceptional customer service. A flawless experience”

Carlos M.
Such a pleasure to work with Paragon
“The team was so easy to work with and helpful, very professional and most especially, calm, given the unusual conditions... Such a pleasure to work with Paragon and their positive back-of-the-house team as well! Highly recommend them!!!”

Elizabeth H.
Super efficient and very kind
“After having an issue with our door for over a week, he fixed it in under an hour. Thanks so much!”

Izzy M.
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.
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.”
