Holiday tipping: doormen vs. security guards

I’m wondering how much folks tip security guards at their buildings vs. actual doormen. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

At first I tipped Super $100 and doormen $50 and then raised that to $100 each.  We had some handymen too and I tipped them $20.

No idea about dollar amounts, but one suggestion: whatever you do decide to tip, make a note of it so you’ll remember next year! I never ever do this and every year I make myself crazy trying to remember what I tipped various people in the past… Vowed that this year I would keep a record.
