School Security Systems
Lock & Tech USA
Since 1989, we’ve been securing homes and businesses across NYC and New Jersey with professional security solutions you can trust. Our licensed technicians provide 24/7 emergency service, using only the latest technology and backed by comprehensive warranties on all installations.
No matter the size, type, or layout of your school, we secure it
- A single school building or a multi-building campus
- Public, private, charter, or specialty schools
- Preschools, K–12, and higher-education facilities
- Main entrances, side doors, and grounds
- Hallways, offices, labs, and storage areas
- New construction or an existing building retrofit
- Replacing an outdated system or starting from scratch
- A standalone camera setup or a fully integrated platform
Schools face a specific challenge: the building has to stay open enough to run a school day, yet controlled enough to keep unknown visitors out. Lock & Tech USA designs and installs security systems for schools across New York City — cameras, alarms, access control, and intercoms — and ties them into one manageable platform instead of a stack of separate devices.
Every project starts with an on-site assessment of your entrances, hallways, grounds, and daily routines, so the design fits how your school actually operates. Our licensed team handles the full process — design, installation, configuration, and staff training — and gives you a fixed quote before any work begins.
School Security Cameras
A well-designed school camera system gives staff clear views of entrances, hallways, common areas, and grounds. We install Uniview and Hikvision cameras with your choice of NVR or cloud storage and secure remote access, so the right people can monitor the school from the front office or off-site.
School Alarm Systems
A monitored school alarm system protects the building after hours, on weekends, and over breaks, when the campus sits empty. We install intrusion systems on Honeywell, DSC, Bosch, and DMP equipment, backed by 24/7 central-station monitoring and real-time mobile alerts.
School Access Control
School access control keeps exterior and interior doors locked while letting staff move freely with cards, fobs, or mobile credentials. We install systems from Keri Systems, Rosslare, Paxton, and Brivo, with schedules for the school day and instant control over who can reach offices, labs, and restricted areas.
School Intercom Systems
A school intercom lets front-office staff see and speak with anyone at the main entrance and release the door only after verifying them. We install video intercoms from Aiphone, Comelit, and Akuvox and connect them to your access control, so visitor entry runs through one screened point.
Industries We Serve
Every environment has its own security demands, and we design around each one — from the visitor-heavy lobbies of hospitals and the multi-tenant entries of apartment buildings, to the operations of businesses, warehouses, retail stores, and restaurants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What security systems does a school need?
Most schools combine cameras, a monitored alarm, access control on exterior and interior doors, and an intercom at the main entrance for visitor screening. We assess your campus and recommend the mix that fits your layout, entrances, and daily routine.
Can visitors be screened before they enter the building?
Yes. A video intercom at the main entrance lets front-office staff see and speak with a visitor first, then release the door through the access control system only after verifying them.
Can we control access to specific areas like offices and labs?
Yes. Access control lets you restrict interior doors so only authorized staff can reach offices, labs, and storage areas, with schedules that match the school day and instant changes when a credential is lost.
Is the alarm monitored when the school is closed?
Yes. School alarm systems can be connected to a central station for around-the-clock monitoring, with mobile alerts sent to your team whenever an event is triggered after hours, on weekends, or over breaks.
Can these systems be managed across multiple buildings?
Yes. With cloud-based management you can administer cameras, access control, and credentials across multiple buildings or a full campus from one dashboard, without visiting each site.
Is Lock & Tech USA licensed?
Yes. Lock & Tech USA is licensed, and installations are carried out by licensed technicians.
