Stop Theft at the Door: Why You Need a "Buzz-In" System
In New York City, "grab-and-run" theft is the single biggest threat to high-risk retail businesses. An open door is an invitation. You don't just need a lock; you need a gatekeeper.
We specialize in Retail Buzz-In Systems designed specifically for Smoke Shops, Dispensaries, and Bodegas across Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. By keeping your front door locked by default, you filter every person who enters your space.
Deter Crime: Thieves bypass stores that require a buzzer to enter.
Staff Safety: Your employees are never exposed to threatening individuals walking in off the street.
Controlled Flow: Eliminate overcrowding in small dispensary waiting rooms.
Specialized Hardware for Glass Storefronts
The most common question we get from shop owners is: "My door is frameless glass. Can I still lock it electronically?" The answer is Yes.
We utilize specialized hardware designed to secure (frameless glass) doors without drilling, which preserves the integrity and look of your storefront.

Magnetic Locks with U-Brackets
We install commercial-grade Electromagnetic Locks (Maglocks) using high-strength aluminum U-brackets and industrial adhesive.
1200lbs of Holding Force: Once engaged, the door creates a seal that is virtually impossible to force open.
Zero Glass Damage: Our installation method requires no holes in the glass, ensuring your warranty remains valid.
Aesthetic Wire Molding
Your shop needs to look professional. We don't leave wires dangling. All cabling is concealed in discreet wire molding or conduit that matches your door frame, maintaining a clean, high-end aesthetic suitable for luxury dispensaries and vape lounges.
Total Control: Wireless Remotes & Counter Buttons
Security shouldn't slow down your sales. We provide "Access Hacks" that allow your staff to control the door without ever leaving the register.
Wireless Key Fobs (The "Clicker")
Similar to a car remote, our Wireless Door Release Fobs allow your staff to unlock the front door from anywhere in the store. Whether they are stocking shelves in the back or assisting a customer, they maintain control. This is a critical safety feature—if a situation escalates, staff can distance themselves from the counter while keeping the door secure.

Hardwired Under-Counter Buttons
For redundancy, we install a hardwired release button discreetly under the POS counter. It is invisible to customers but easily accessible for your cashier.
Video Intercom Integration: ID Verification
For Legal Dispensaries and age-restricted Smoke Shops, compliance is key. We can integrate your buzzer system with a Video Intercom.
Visual Verification: See if a visitor is wearing a mask or acting suspiciously before you buzz them in.
ID Checks: Request customers to hold their ID up to the camera for age verification before unlocking the door.
Record Keeping: Many modern systems record a timestamped photo of every entry, providing a log for security audits.

FAQS
Can you install a magnetic lock on a frameless glass door?
Yes. For door buzzer installation on glass doors, we use specialized aluminum U-brackets. This allows us to mount a 1200lb-force magnetic lock without drilling into the glass or voiding your door's warranty. It’s the standard, secure solution for modern retail and office storefronts in NYC.
How long does the installation take? Will it disrupt my business?
We operate on a "zero downtime" model. A standard commercial buzz-in system installation is completed in a single day. We schedule the work to ensure your business remains operational, and your door is fully secure by the time you close up shop.
Does the system work if the power goes out?
For high-risk businesses, we install a dedicated battery backup power supply. This ensures your magnetic locks remain engaged during temporary power outages, keeping your inventory secure. Without a backup, maglocks will release (fail-safe) to meet fire codes, so the battery unit is a critical add-on.
Can I unlock the door without leaving the counter?
Absolutely. That is the primary benefit. We install wireless remote fobs (similar to car clickers) or hardwired under-desk buttons. Your staff can verify a customer visually and trigger the door release instantly without ever turning their back or leaving the register.
Do I need to replace my existing intercom to add a buzz-in lock?
Not necessarily. We can often retrofit a standalone electronic door release system alongside your current audio or video intercom. This is a cost-effective "access control hack" that upgrades your security without the expense of a full system "rip-and-replace."
