Security Systems

Security systems include card access, burglar alarms, panic buttons, telephone entry devices, locks, keys, video cameras, and other specialized equipment.  These systems are  maintained and installed by qualified locksmiths and security system technicians on staff in the Security Systems Division or by licensed contractors familiar with our existing systems.

Many building entrances and rooms are controlled by card access or telephone entry systems and many areas are equipped with burglar alarm systems for after-hours protection. These systems have been designed for your protection, therefore it is imperative that you use them wisely.  Do not use your card to provide access for others.  Do not prop open card controlled or locked doors and make sure that the doors close and lock behind you. Make sure that your burglary alarm systems are armed when you leave for the day. 

Report broken or malfunctioning doors by calling the security dispatch center at the non-emergency number listed below, 24 hours / 7 days a week.  If you accidentally activate an alarm system, please call the dispatcher immediately.

To obtain keys, re-key locks, get estimates or recommendations, or discuss any of your security system needs, please contact us at the administration number listed below.
