Systems we install
Security Systems for Queens Homes, Storefronts and Buildings
Queens has every kind of property in one borough: walk-up storefronts, six-story co-ops, glass towers in Long Island City, attached houses in Ridgewood and warehouses in Maspeth. We size each system to the building in front of us and connect the parts so cameras, readers and the intercom report to the same app.
Security cameras and CCTV
4K turret, bullet and PTZ cameras on a PoE recorder, with phone access for owners and managers. Night coverage for sidewalks, alleys, lots and loading docks.
Access control
Fobs, cards, PIN pads and phone credentials for lobby doors, staff entrances, gates and elevators, managed from software you own.
Video intercoms
Lobby panels from Aiphone, ButterflyMX, Akuvox and Comelit that ring a tenant’s phone or apartment station and release the door with a tap.
Burglar alarms
Contacts on doors and gates, motion and glass-break sensors, and a keypad by the entrance. The panel sounds on site and pushes an alert to your phone.
24/7 monitoring
A central station checks each alarm and calls police or the fire department, over a cellular link that keeps working through an internet outage.
Repairs and takeovers
We service and expand systems another installer left behind, as long as the recorder, panel or controller still gets support from its maker.
Access control in Queens
Access Control Systems for Queens Businesses and Co-ops
A key that walks out the door with a former employee or a moved-out tenant costs a rekey every time. A fob or phone credential gets switched off from the dashboard in seconds.
In co-ops across Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Rego Park and Kew Gardens, a fob system replaces brass keys on the front door, the laundry room and the package room, and the managing agent can pull a log of every entry. In Long Island City condo towers, readers sit beside the video intercom and the elevator only goes to floors the resident is allowed to reach.
For businesses we put readers on staff entrances, stockrooms and office suites, set schedules by shift, and run controllers from Keri Systems, Rosslare, Paxton or Brivo. Rosslare’s AxTrax and Paxton’s software run on a computer in your office with no yearly fee, while Brivo runs in the cloud for owners who manage several locations.
Where Queens clients put readers
- Co-op and condo lobbies, package rooms, laundry rooms and roof doors
- Restaurant back doors and stockrooms on Roosevelt Avenue, Steinway Street and Main Street
- Medical and dental suites where only staff may enter supply and records rooms
- Warehouse docks and yard gates in Maspeth, College Point and near JFK
- Office floors with tenants on separate hours
- Schools and houses of worship that need doors locked on a timetable
Cameras and CCTV
Security Camera Installation Across Queens
A camera plan starts with one question: what do you need to see on the recording after something goes wrong?
We pick lens angles, mounting height and storage around that answer, then run Power over Ethernet cable so one wire carries video and power. Owners watch live or play back footage from a phone app, and access can be shared with a manager or a building super.
- Storefront blocksOn Jamaica Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street in Flushing, cameras cover the register, the door and the sidewalk in front of the rolling gate, with infrared for the hours the store is closed.
- Attached and two-family housesRow houses in Ridgewood, Woodhaven and Middle Village often have a shared side alley and a back yard reached from the street. Two cameras placed high cover both without pointing into a neighbor’s window.
- Co-op lobbies and package roomsIn Forest Hills and Rego Park buildings, a lobby camera tied to the intercom shows who was buzzed in, and a second one watches the package shelf.
- Basements that flooded in 2021Hurricane Ida put water into basements across Woodside, Hollis, Jamaica and Flushing. In those buildings the recorder and network switch go on a shelf upstairs, on a battery backup.
- The RockawaysSalt air from the ocean is hard on outdoor hardware, so homes and businesses in Rockaway Beach, Rockaway Park and Belle Harbor get IP67-rated cameras and sealed connectors.
How a job runs
From Site Survey to Handoff in Five Steps
A two-camera job at a house in Bayside and a 20-door access system for a co-op in Jackson Heights follow the same five steps. The bigger job simply spends more time on step three.
Free site survey
A technician walks the property, checks doors, existing wiring and power, and notes where cable can run between floors.
Layout and written quote
You get every camera, reader and panel listed by location and model, with labor, materials and any monthly fee priced line by line.
Building approvals
For co-ops, condos and rented storefronts we send the plan and our certificate of insurance to the board, managing agent or landlord before any drilling.
Installation
Our crew pulls cable inside walls or in neat raceway, mounts the devices and sets up the recorder, controller or panel.
Testing, training and support
We test each device with you, install the apps, show you how to add users and export video, and stay on call for service.
Why Lock and Tech
Why Queens Property Owners Work With Us
25+ years in the business

Our own technicians
The people who wire your building are on our payroll. We do not hand Queens jobs to subcontractors.
3 years on workmanship
Our installation work is guaranteed for 3 years. Electrical components carry a 12-month warranty on parts and labor.
Licensed and insured
Bonded crews, New York State filings on record and a certificate of insurance for your board or landlord. NYS license #: coming soon
Survey and quote at no cost
We visit, measure and price the job for free. You decide afterwards, with no obligation.
Control from your phone
Watch cameras, unlock a door for a delivery and check the alarm from one app when the platforms are compatible.
Pricing
What Moves the Price of a Queens Security Install
We price after the survey and itemize by device, so you can drop a camera or add a door and see the change right away. The contract is signed before work begins, and larger jobs take a partial deposit.
Device count
Each camera, reader, sensor or intercom station adds its own hardware and installation labor.
Cable path
Prewar brick, plaster walls and long runs between floors take longer than open ceilings or existing conduit.
Recorder and storage
Resolution and the number of days of footage you keep decide the size of the recorder’s drives.
Door hardware
A metal frame takes an electric strike quickly. A glass storefront door needs a maglock, a bracket and an exit sensor.
Software and monitoring
On-site software has no yearly fee. Cloud access platforms and central station monitoring bill monthly.
Integrations
Linking readers to cameras, the intercom or elevator floors adds programming time and some hardware.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 150+ Google reviews, with an A+ from the Better Business Bureau.
Gabriel and his team installed a new intercom system in my building. They are so professional and responsive. They did the job quickly yet with precision. It is such an improvement from what we had, I can't believe we waited so long to do it. I highly recommend Lock and Tech!
They have really good service for security cameras, access control and alarm. amazing person I feel like in they are best with cheap price.
Hired this company to move our intercom system from inside to outside and also to install a new magnetic door lock on the outside glass door. This company did a great job and did a professional installation. They even helped us set up the AxTrax software for free to help manage access for our key-fob system. Recommended!!
Lock and tech provided a great price and service. They did our acces points, alarm and security cameras for the Doctors office. Highly recommend!
FAQ
Questions Queens Clients Ask Before Booking
Something else on your mind? Call (347) 532-4100 and a technician will answer it on the phone.
How much does security camera installation cost in Queens?
It depends on the number of cameras, how far the cable has to travel and how many days of video you want to keep. After a free site survey you get a written quote with each camera priced separately.
Can you replace the keys in our co-op with fobs?
Yes. We install readers on the entrance and common-area doors, issue fobs to residents and set up the software for the managing agent. The plan goes to the board for approval first, with our certificate of insurance.
Do you install cameras for storefronts with rolling gates?
Yes. We mount a camera inside the glass to cover the register and door, and an outdoor camera above the gate box to watch the sidewalk and the gate itself while the store is closed.
Is a permit needed for cameras or access control?
Low-voltage work such as cameras, alarms and card readers usually needs no Department of Buildings permit. New electrical circuits can. Magnetic locks must release on exit and tie into the fire alarm where one exists, and buildings that use smart access fall under the city’s Tenant Data Privacy Act.
Can you work with the cameras we already have?
Often, if the recorder or controller is still supported by its manufacturer. We test what is there during the survey and tell you which parts can stay.
How quickly can someone come out?
Service calls can be dispatched the same day within our service area. Installations are scheduled on weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM, and emergency service is available 24/7.
What does the warranty cover?
Installation work is guaranteed for 3 years. Electrical components have a 12-month warranty, and both cover parts and labor.
Which parts of Queens do you serve?
The whole borough, including Astoria, Long Island City, Flushing, Bayside, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Ridgewood, Jamaica, Ozone Park, Howard Beach and the Rockaways.
