★★★★★ 5.0 · 22 Google reviews🕒 Open 24/7📍 156 Delancey St, NYC

One master key, total control — designed for buildings and businesses. Midtown East landlords and supers rely on clean master-key hierarchies across multi-unit buildings — we design and maintain them.

Between Grand Central Terminal and Lexington Ave and 3rd Ave, Midtown East packs a lot of doors into a few blocks. Office towers plus residential high-rises; commercial access work is a large share of calls.

Midtown East is office towers by day and a growing residential neighborhood by night. We service corporate offices, Grand Central-area businesses, and the area's residential towers — often on tight commercial schedules. When it comes to master key systems, that local character matters.

Common master key systems situations in Midtown East

  • Ground-floor and street-facing entries that take the most wear — and the most risk.
  • High-rise and elevator-building doors with modern hardware needing precise fitting.
  • Mixed-use buildings where residential and commercial entries share a facade but need separate keying.
  • Landmark and pre-war doors where the hardware must be serviced without damaging historic woodwork.

For Midtown East properties we draft a keying schedule mapping every door, then pin the hierarchy — master, sub-master, change keys — with no cross-keying. Office towers plus residential high-rises; commercial access work is a large share of calls.
