Urban Security Expertise
Boston's mix of old and new architecture creates unique security challenges. We handle them all.
Historic Buildings
Back Bay and Beacon Hill brownstones often have original mortise locks from the 1800s. We restore and upgrade these antique systems while preserving their historic character. Your Victorian lock can have modern security without losing its authenticity.
Modern High-Rises
The Seaport, Downtown, and luxury buildings along Commonwealth Avenue require sophisticated security. We install and service electronic access systems, smart locks, and building-wide security that integrates with existing infrastructure.
Multi-Family Properties
Triple-deckers and multi-unit buildings need master key systems that give landlords control while providing tenant privacy. We design systems specifically for Boston's unique housing stock.
Student Housing
Allston, Brighton, and areas near universities have high tenant turnover. We work with property managers to provide efficient rekeying services and durable locks that withstand heavy use.
