Landmark Door Services

Historic Door Restoration & Repair

We restore and repair original entrance doors on historic and landmark buildings, preserving the look that gives these properties their character. That means re-hanging heavy doors, repairing frames and thresholds, matching period profiles and finishes, and refitting or reproducing era-appropriate hardware. Our door repair and commercial door crews work carefully so a repair blends into the original, rather than standing out.

Preservation & Code Compliance

Work on designated landmarks and buildings in historic districts often has to satisfy both preservation review and modern safety codes. We help match approved specifications, keep sightlines and materials consistent with the building, and reconcile fire-rating and accessibility needs with a historic appearance. For rated openings we coordinate fire-rated doors and commercial door assemblies that respect the original design.

Discreet Security & Hardware Upgrades

Landmark entrances can be far more secure without looking modern. We fit high-security, restricted-key cylinders such as Mul-T-Lock so keys can’t be copied, and we conceal upgrades behind original-style escutcheons and hardware. For larger properties we tie entrances into managed access control, set up master key systems, and provide ongoing commercial locksmith support.

Balanced Doors, Closers & Weatherproofing

Many landmark storefronts and lobbies use balanced doors, such as Ellison, that open easily even in wind or with full hands. We install, adjust, and repair balanced doors, closers, and pivots, and add discreet weatherstripping to cut drafts and noise without altering the look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on NYC landmark and historic district buildings?

Yes. We regularly service entrances on designated landmark buildings and properties within historic districts. Work on these buildings often falls under Landmarks Preservation Commission review, so we focus on preserving original materials and profiles and matching approved specifications rather than swapping in off-the-shelf replacements.

Can you improve security without changing the historic look?

Absolutely — that is most of what we do on landmark doors. We fit high-security, restricted-key cylinders like Mul-T-Lock and conceal modern access control behind original-style hardware, so the door looks the same but keys can’t be duplicated and access is controlled.

Do you install balanced and commercial entrance doors for landmark properties?

Yes. We install, adjust, and repair balanced doors (such as Ellison), pivots, closers, and commercial entrance assemblies common to historic lobbies and storefronts, keeping the operation smooth while respecting the building’s appearance.

Is service available for emergencies?

Yes. Our showroom at 328 Columbus Ave is open Mon–Fri 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, and we provide mobile emergency door and lock service 24/7 for doors that won’t secure, broken hardware, and lockouts.
