Key Fob Access Control in New York

Licensed Installation for Commercial & Multi-Unit Residential Buildings

Key fob access control replaces traditional keys with programmable electronic credentials, letting property managers grant or revoke building entry instantly without changing locks. For commercial offices and multi-unit residential buildings across New York City, that capability matters: tenant turnover is frequent, lost keys create real liability, and unauthorized entry is a persistent concern. Paragon Security & Locksmith has been solving exactly these problems since 1988, serving all five boroughs and parts of New Jersey with licensed, in-house security teams.

We install key fob access control systems for offices, commercial buildings, and multi-unit residential properties throughout New York. Every job is handled by our own trained, licensed, and insured technicians. We don’t subcontract any part of the work, which means one accountable team handles your project from the initial site survey through post-installation support.

Ready to secure your building? Call us at (646) 506-4422 to schedule a free, no-obligation site survey or to speak with a technician about your property’s needs.

What Our Key Fob Access Control Service Includes

Before any work begins, we conduct a free site survey and provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. That assessment shapes everything: the number of entry points, the door hardware required, and the access panel configuration that fits your building’s layout and user count.

A complete installation covers reader mounting, door release hardware (electric strike or magnetic lock), access panel programming, credential issuance, and full system testing. For larger properties, we configure multi-door and multi-floor deployments, including elevator floor restrictions and per-user access schedules. We carry our own tools in company-owned, clearly marked service vehicles, and most installations are completed in a single visit. Warranty-backed service means that if a component fails or needs adjustment, we return to fix it. For property owners managing security budgets, we also offer affordable financing options. Same-day service and flexible scheduling are available for both consultations and installations, and our team operates 24 hours a day for urgent needs.

Why New York Property Managers Choose Paragon Security & Locksmith

Our technicians aren’t sourced from outside staffing pools. Every member of our team goes through an internal certification process, ensuring the same service standards on every job, whether it’s a single-door office or a multi-building residential complex. That consistency is one of the primary reasons property managers and real estate firms have maintained long-term working relationships with us over many years.

We carry a wide selection of access control brands, including Brivo, ButterflyMX, Swiftlane, Dormakaba, and iLOQ, among others. That range allows us to match the right system to your property rather than fitting every building to a single product. We select hardware for durability and reliability, which can reduce service calls and adjustments after installation.

Paragon Security & Locksmith holds a BBB accreditation with an A+ rating and consistently earns 4.7 to 4.9 star ratings across review platforms from a high volume of reviews. Those numbers reflect more than positive sentiment. They reflect a service model built on clear communication, accurate estimates, and follow-through.

How Key Fob Access Control Works

A key fob access control system has four core components. The user carries a programmable fob credential that transmits a unique signal via RFID when held near a proximity reader mounted at the door. That reader passes the credential to an access control panel, which checks it against an authorization database in real time. If the credential matches an active, permitted entry, the panel signals a door release device, either an electric strike or a magnetic lock, to momentarily unlock the door.

Every access event is logged with a timestamp and credential ID, creating an audit trail property managers can review for security documentation or incident response. Credentials can be programmed with time-based schedules that restrict access to certain hours, floor-level permissions for elevator-equipped buildings, and instant revocation when a fob is lost or a tenant vacates.

Key Fob System Applications Across New York Buildings

New York City’s building stock is varied, and key fob systems are adaptable to it. Readers and door release hardware can be installed on metal doors, wood and glass doors, iron gates, and elevator access points, making this technology practical across the full range of commercial and residential property types found throughout the five boroughs.

Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
When a tenant departs, their credential can be deactivated remotely within seconds. That eliminates the cost and uncertainty of lock changes with every unit turnover, a significant operational advantage in buildings with high occupancy movement.

Commercial Offices
Key fob systems let building managers restrict employee access by department, time of day, or security clearance level. Entry logs support compliance documentation and can serve as records for insurance purposes.

Shared Common Areas
For buildings with gyms, laundry rooms, storage facilities, or parking garages, key fob systems allow property managers to grant tiered access to specific amenities without issuing a separate physical key for each space.

Integration with Intercoms, Cameras, & Alarm Systems

Access control works best as part of a layered security setup. Pairing a key fob reader with a video intercom lets residents or building staff verify a visitor’s identity before granting entry, adding a visual verification step to credential-based access. When access control is integrated with security cameras, every entry event at a credential-reader door generates a timestamped visual record that supports incident documentation and insurance claims. Access control panels can also be configured to trigger alarm alerts when a door is held open beyond a set interval, forced open, or accessed outside scheduled hours.

Paragon Security & Locksmith installs and services intercom systems, security cameras, and alarm systems alongside access control, so property owners can build an integrated security setup through one provider rather than coordinating multiple vendors. Our systems are also designed to work with smart devices, giving property managers the ability to monitor and manage access remotely from a smartphone or web browser.

Todd P.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Highly recommend!
“We had an emergency when the handle on our living room French doors broke and the doors wouldn't stay closed. We called Paragon, and Michael came over immediately, quickly diagnosed the problem, and spent several hours carefully adjusting the mechanism so the doors worked properly again. Without his help, it could have been a real disaster. We're incredibly grateful for his prompt, kind, smart, and truly professional work - highly recommend!”
