The UES has some of the strictest co-op security requirements in NYC. Many buildings mandate specific lock brands and key control systems to prevent unauthorized key duplication. Our technicians are familiar with these requirements and carry Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy products. We also work closely with building supers and doormen to ensure smooth service without disrupting building protocols.
Yes. We specialize in Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy high-security systems commonly required by UES co-op boards. We supply, install, and service these restricted keyway systems.
