About Us

Welcome to DoorSecurityGroup.com. We are Manhattan's premier door security experts, dedicated to educating homeowners and providing top-tier security solutions nationwide through our vetted network of installation partners.

Our Story

DoorSecurityGroup was started right here in Manhattan over 15 years ago. Working in one of the densest, most demanding security environments in the world taught our founding team a critical lesson: a security system is only as strong as its weakest door.

That team spent years walking through Brooklyn brownstones, Manhattan high-rises, and eventually suburban estates, installing everything from commercial-grade Medeco deadbolts to complex smart lock ecosystems. They realized that while the technology was advancing, homeowner education wasn't keeping pace. That's why DoorSecurityGroup.com was born — and why the company today is run by a team, not a single person, so the guidance here keeps getting maintained long after any one team member moves on.

What We Do

We bridge the gap between commercial-grade security knowledge and everyday homeowner needs. Our mission is to provide clear, actionable, and expert-vetted advice on securing your property.

• Expert Guides & Reviews: Our installation and review team evaluates the smart locks, cameras, and hardware we actually install for clients, so you don't have to guess.
• Comprehensive Guides: From understanding deadbolt grades to mastering door reinforcement, we teach you how to harden your home.
• Nationwide Installation: While our heart and headquarters are in NYC, we have spent the last decade building a nationwide network of highly vetted security installers. Whether you're in Texas, California, or Florida, we can connect you with a local pro who meets our exacting Manhattan standards.

Our Review & Installation Process

Every guide and product review on this site is produced by the DoorSecurityGroup installation and review team — the same technicians and consultants who install this hardware for our clients in Manhattan and, through our vetted partner network, nationwide. This is a deliberate choice: content here is a team effort rather than the work of any one individual, so it keeps getting maintained and corrected as the team, the product lineup, and our own field experience change.

Our recommendations are grounded in real installation work, not a standalone testing lab: which locks hold up on warped century-old door frames, which apps are actually reliable day to day, and which "smart" features tend to fail in the field. When a page cites hands-on experience with a product, that reflects installs and service calls our team has actually performed, not a formal isolated lab test. Where a product is newer than our direct install history, we say so and rely on manufacturer specifications and published third-party testing instead of implying first-hand use we don't have.

Why Trust Us?

In our experience, theory is useless without practice. We aren't just writers; we are installers, consultants, and security professionals. We only recommend products we would trust on our own front doors. When we tell you that a Schlage Encode Plus is a strong lock for an Airbnb, it's because our team has installed many of them and watched them perform in the field.
