We set up that they would come the following Thursday in the am, and my expectations was that they would show up in the morning and be done in about 4 hour as we had discussed and everything would work on the system.
The installer didn't show up until 10am and then part way thru the job left for another appointment or meeting and then returned to finish the job around 6pm. The next day we began to test the system and found 2 doors sensors, 2 smoke detectors, and 10 window sensors that were not communicating with the system as well as a remote sensor that was active but just sitting on the counter (that they had charged us for this wireless sensor despite the fact the wired sensor appeared to be working). We communicated with Keith about the numerous problems with the upgrade installation, and he assured us that it was important to get it fixed and that they would be at our house on Monday afternoon to rectify the problems. Monday afternoon turned into Monday at 4:57pm for Keith to call to say that there were on their way and finally showed up around 5:30pm, they then spent the next few hours connecting the 14 sensors that were not communicating with the alarm panel. Thinking that we were finished with the installation, we set the alarm only to be awoken in the middle of the night with the alarm triggered with one of the new sensors that they had installed. In this case they installed a plunger sensor (in place of a magnetic one) but did not fill the hole from the magnet so as the door moved ever so slightly the plunger sensor shifted and was activated from the empty hole in the door. By this point have given up on them being able to do quality, timely work so have fixed the issue myself.
---------- In response to Keith's message...they were suppose to check all door and window sensors and in fact only one was not working properly which they replaced and did it incorrectly. The other 14 sensors were not installed correctly into the system the first time and required a follow-up visit to get it done correctly, and we were charged for work that was not done. Keith, actions are louder than words and if there was pride in your work then the work would have been done properly the first time.

FAQs for security door installation projects in La Jolla, CA
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
