Installing window security in a New York City building means navigating a non-negotiable requirement: every gate on a window used as a fire escape must allow occupants to exit without a key. Kaufman Iron Works manufactures FDNY approved window gates that NYC buildings depend on for genuine security and reliable emergency egress when seconds matter most.
Our fire egress gates meet strict NYC Fire Department requirements for residential and commercial buildings throughout the five boroughs, and every fire escape window gate NYC code demands is one we can fabricate, supply, and install. Security and safety don’t have to conflict. Our legal window gates are what NYC owners and landlords rely on to deliver both — because a gate that traps occupants in an emergency isn’t a security solution, it’s a liability.
