Entry Systems

What Entry Systems does

Entry Systems Inc. is a privately held, Staten Island-based specialty trade contractor focused on the design, fabrication, and installation of architectural metal and glass systems for commercial and select high-end residential projects. The company's core offerings span Kawneer, Y2K, and VistaWall storefront and curtain wall systems; architectural glass (insulated, spandrel, laminated, mirror, bullet-resistant, fire-rated) with various Sunguard, Low-E, and UV options; automatic entrance solutions distributed from LCN, Horton, Hunter, BEA, and American; and custom architectural railing systems via Julius Blum and CR Laurence Group. It also supplies custom shower and bath glass partitions and bespoke wood/metal finishing for hotel and residential clientele. Operations are run out of a state-of-the-art fabrication facility at 2180 Forest Ave., Staten Island, with field installation crews deployed across the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). Key customer segments include government and public facilities, hospitality (hotels and restaurants), retail and commercial real estate, healthcare, and luxury residential, served through a relationship-driven, enterprise field-sales motion that targets architects, developers, and general contractors on a specification-bid basis.

The firm generates revenue on a project-by-project basis through three intertwined streams: (1) product supply and fabrication of storefront, glass, railing, and door systems; (2) professional installation services bundled with product supply; and (3) custom design and fabrication work for individual project specifications. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed pricing. GTM is direct enterprise field sales built on architect and developer relationships, manufacturer referral flow, and a notable project portfolio showcasing institutional and commercial credentials. The company is a pre-qualified State of New York contractor, holds AAADAM certification for automatic door installations, and operates with a lean 1-10 employee footprint supplemented by project-based subcontractor labor, a structure typical of specialty glazing subcontractors in the NYC metropolitan market.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• CR Laurence Group (CRL): CR Laurence is the dominant US supplier of architectural railing hardware, all-glass entrance systems, and specialty glass hardware and is both a supplier/distribution partner of Entry Systems and an indirect competitor via specification-driven product selection.

Regional players

• Pioneer Window Manufacturing & Sales Corp. Pioneer Window manufactures and installs commercial storefronts, curtain walls, and entrances in the NY metropolitan area, a like-sized regional competitor with overlapping NYC contractor and developer clients.
• Liberty Glass & Metal Inc. Liberty Glass & Metal is a Northeast US architectural glazing and metal contractor installing storefronts, glass entrances, and curtain walls — a close functional analog to Entry Systems with a comparable regional footprint.

Direct peers

• Skyline Design (formerly Envision): Skyline Design/Envision provides architectural glass and metal fabrication and installation for commercial interiors and exteriors, overlapping Entry Systems' curtain wall, storefront, and specialty glass work for NYC-area commercial clients.
• W&W Glass LLC: W&W Glass specializes in curtain wall and storefront installation across the NYC metropolitan area, serving contractors and developers on commercial projects of similar size and complexity to Entry Systems' portfolio.
• Harmon (APi Group): Harmon is one of the largest North American glazing and curtain wall contractors, installing storefronts, curtain walls, and architectural glass for commercial construction — directly overlapping Entry Systems' core scope, though at substantially larger scale and geographic reach.
• Crown Corr Inc. Crown Corr fabricates and installs architectural metal panels, curtain walls, and storefront systems for commercial and institutional buildings in the Northeast, directly comparable to Entry Systems' metal/cladding scope.

Broad incumbents

• YKK AP America: YKK AP manufactures and supplies architectural storefront, curtain wall, and entrance products and competes with Kawneer — Entry Systems' Kawneer relationship places it adjacent to YKK in the same bid ecosystem.
• Kawneer Company: Kawneer is the largest US storefront and curtain wall product brand and a key supplier/distributor partner of Entry Systems; it competes indirectly by selling direct to glazing contractors and specifying architects on major projects.
• Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope: Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope is one of the largest North American manufacturers and installers of architectural glass, storefronts, and curtain wall systems, with much broader scope and scale than Entry Systems but overlapping product categories.
