Areas / Brownstone blocks and multi-family buildings
Locksmith & intercoms in Bed-Stuy
Bed-Stuy is brownstone and limestone rowhouses, many of them divided into apartments, plus larger multi-family buildings on the avenues. A single house can have a street door, a vestibule door and several unit doors, each on a different key.
That setup is what makes master key systems and tidy rekeying worthwhile. A landlord gets one key that opens the common doors, tenants get keys that only open their own unit, and a lost key does not mean changing everything in the house.
Common questions
Can the owner's key open every door in the house while tenants get only their own?
Yes. That is a master key setup, and it is common in divided brownstones. We chart it on paper so it stays manageable.
Can the original vestibule door hardware be kept?
Usually. We service or rekey older mortise hardware where we can, and only replace parts that have actually failed.
