The demand for keyless locks New York City homeowners can rely on has exploded over the past five years. In upscale co-ops, historic brownstones, and modern condos alike, residents want the same thing: secure, code-based entry without fumbling for keys. CountBricks leads this shift by pairing AI-driven estimating with field-tested construction expertise, giving you an upgrade pathway that is fast, transparent, and tailored to NYC’s unique residential landscape.
1. Real-time Voice Capture: During an on-site walk-through, our estimator talks through existing door conditions—metal, solid core wood, or composite. The CountBricks app converts that conversation into structured data instantly.
2. Instant Material Matching: Our software cross-references thousands of locksets, strike plates, and smart modules, filtering for NYC building code and fire egress compliance.
3. Dynamic Pricing: Labor rates drawn from live city databases combine with current hardware costs, ensuring every quote you see reflects this morning’s market, not last quarter’s guess.
4. Branded Proposal: Within minutes you receive a polished PDF and Web link branded with your logo, powered by CountBricks.com/estimates. Ready for board approval or homeowner sign-off.
Dense Building Stock
Brownstone doors rarely share the same backset dimensions as Midtown glass entries. CountBricks techs carry modular jigs and smart templates so each mortise is milled precisely on site.
Landmark Restrictions
Historic districts often require non-invasive upgrades. We select narrow-profile keyless locks that preserve door faces while meeting security codes.

Many New York City remodels already involve door replacements, millwork adjustments, or entryway redesigns. By looping CountBricks into the planning phase, you avoid downstream conflicts and capitalize on shared labor windows.
1. Pre-construction Takeoff: Our AI reads your architectural PDFs and flags every door, hinge, and jamb spec. Potential interference points are highlighted before demolition even begins.
2. Scope Merging: We combine framing, electrical rough-ins, and lock installation into a single task group. This trims overhead costs and reduces mobilizations.
3. Progressive Sign-Offs: Because CountBricks documents every phase inside the app, your GC, architect, and board can approve changes in real time—no email chains required.
• Bundled pricing on doors, smart thermostats, and intercom upgrades when scheduled together
• Optional maintenance contracts that align with your building’s existing service calendar
• Post-project analytics showing energy savings from smarter access control and reduced HVAC loss
During a gut renovation, the homeowner opted to shift the front entry door three inches to improve flow. Traditional methods would require a second locksmith visit after framing. Instead, CountBricks’ estimator updated the digital model on site, recalculated material, and rescheduled the lock team for the same afternoon. The change order amounted to $0 in added labor.
• Submit door schedules to CountBricks early; our API turns them into cost codes automatically
• Use our biometric compatibility matrix to future-proof for fingerprint or facial-recognition modules
• Let us handle DOB paperwork for fire-rated doors—one less form on your desk
Whether you’re adding a single smart deadbolt or coordinating a full-building renovation, CountBricks keeps your project on budget, on schedule, and on the cutting edge of residential security.
