Securing Flatbush's Victorian Homes & Multi-Family Properties

Our mobile technicians are positioned throughout Brooklyn and typically arrive in 15–20 minutes to addresses along Flatbush Avenue, Church Avenue, Caton Avenue, and surrounding blocks. We run 24/7 emergency response, so a late-night lockout at your Victorian row house or walk-up apartment gets the same fast dispatch as a daytime call. When you call, our dispatcher will confirm your exact cross street and give you a realistic ETA before we roll.

Yes. We regularly service multi-family walk-ups across Flatbush ZIP codes 11203, 11210, 11218, 11225, and 11226, rekeying multiple units in a single scheduled visit to minimize disruption. Our technicians carry a full inventory of cylinder pins on the truck, so Schlage, Marks, Yale, and Arrow hardware common in Brooklyn walk-ups can all be rekeyed on the spot. We can also key units to a landlord master system so you retain building-wide access while each tenant has a unique key.

Absolutely. Non-destructive entry and installation is a core part of how we work, and it matters especially in Flatbush’s stock of Victorian single-family and early 20th-century multi-family homes where original millwork is worth preserving. Our technicians use precise bore templates and hand-fit strike plates to avoid unnecessary wood removal. We typically recommend Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or ASSA Abloy Grade 1 deadbolts paired with reinforced steel strike boxes for a significant security upgrade that still respects the original door.

For ground-floor units in Flatbush’s brick and limestone walk-ups, we most often install Medeco or Mul-T-Lock high-security deadbolts because their pick-resistant, drill-resistant cylinders address the elevated exposure risk of street-level doors. We pair these with a heavy-gauge ANSI Grade 1 strike plate secured with 3-inch screws into the stud — a simple reinforcement that dramatically reduces kick-in vulnerability. Our technicians will assess your existing door prep and suggest durable, easy-to-maintain hardware that won’t require frequent service calls.

Yes — intercom and mailbox servicing for walk-up vestibules is one of our standard Flatbush offerings. We repair and replace USPS-compliant mailbox lock cylinders and can rekey or replace the building’s front-door intercom entry hardware in the same visit. Because many Flatbush buildings have aging wired intercom systems, we’ll assess whether a cylinder swap is sufficient or whether the latch mechanism itself needs replacement. All work is performed to keep the vestibule entry in compliance with NYC building egress requirements.

Yes, and we make sure every installation we do is compliant. NYC law prohibits double-cylinder deadbolts (key-required on both sides) on egress doors in residential occupancies because they create a fire-escape hazard — we will never install one on an exit door. All exit hardware must allow free egress from the inside per NYC DOB and FDNY regulations. If your Flatbush property is in a landmarked district, exterior hardware changes may also require LPC approval, and we can advise you on how to document the work properly before we begin.
