The Gilded Doors at New York City Center

130 W 56th St

Challenge: Recreating a Lost Craft

At 130 W 56th St, the entrance to New York City Center’s stage was framed by stunning polished brass doors—an architectural statement of the venue’s grandeur. 

However, as time wore on, the original doors required replacement, and a new challenge emerged: the technology once used for polished brass cladding was no longer available.

To restore this iconic entrance without compromising authenticity, Highline Integrated Security Systems was entrusted with designing and fabricating a historically accurate replica. Every detail had to match the original, from the material finish to the intricate hardware, ensuring the new doors blended seamlessly with the building’s timeless elegance.

Solution: Precision Craftsmanship & Historic Preservation

Highline Integrated Security Systems approached the project with a commitment to both historical accuracy and long-term durability.

Results: A Perfectly Restored Entrance

By combining modern engineering with traditional craftsmanship, Highline Integrated Security Systems successfully recreated a set of stage doors that are both historically accurate and built to last.
