Best security door installation pros near Gratis, OH

"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."

"So far great. I called for an estimate, the sales guy wanted me to purchase of course but wasn't overbearing. We got the system shipped to us. This is a DIY install, so just know that going in if you buy one. Also, there is a one year or 3 year contract, and if you want out of the contract, you will pay 80% of the remaining contract. The sales guy was very upfront and clear about that. If you move you can take your system/contract with you, or transfer it to the next homeowner. There are videos you can watch about installing, as well as a manual -- took a little looking on the website but there are multiple helpful manuals, call and ask if you can't find them. Also, calling the tech guys for help was easy, I was able to get through with little or no wait, and they were patient and very helpful each time. Having never installed a security system, it took us an evening rather than 15 minutes, but we have old doors that are not flush with the jams and needed to figure out how to line up the door sensors.That, and figuring out where to place the motion detectors, was all that really took time, it wasn't too bad. The base unit worked fine from the start, the voice has a pleasant British accent when "she" talks to you. You can arm your system and disarm with their keychain remote, but that left us unsure whether the system was in fact armed. (Couldn't hear the nice British voice through our door). Using our mobile phones seems better for us, the package where you can use your phone does cost $10 more per month but seems worth it to us. I did look into another very similar DIY system from another company that was less per month with no contract, and read many reviews. It seemed that other's experiences with customer service was sometimes good, sometimes not, and some had good experiences with the equipment, some didn't. We decided Front Point is worth the extra $ rather than take a chance. As far as cost, we got 2 door sensors, 3 motion detectors, base unit, stickers and sign for $99, our monthly fee is $45 with a 3 year contract."

"It's all very user friendly and reliable. Jeremy helped get us setup with our new system - he was great, very informative and candid. Larry came out and installed everything, and he was a pleasure. I totally recommend 1st Security USA to anyone in the Washington DC metro area."

"We wanted a wireless home security system that was reasonably-priced. We contacted Security One, and they worked with us to configure a GE Simon XT system for our home. The company is not local, so we talked over the phone with their customer service agent to define which sensors and equipment we'd need, and then they shipped us the unit to install ourselves. The initial discussion with customer service was quick and painless, and we received the system just two days later. One of the sensors was missing, but they immediately shipped it to us, and then walked us through how to add it to the system. Installation was straightforward, and their customer service agent worked with us over the phone one last time to activate the system. Our monthly monitoring cost is reasonable (about $50/month) and the company is very responsive to problems: for example, we accidentally triggered a panic alarm a month ago, and when we called to tell them it was an accident, they took the time to walk us through the process of how the system notifies the monitoring center, how quickly they then notify the local police, etc. Their customer service is very good, especially for the price - we would definitely use them again. Our only concern is how long the GE equipment will last (for example, it is secured to the walls/windows with double-faced adhesive). But, this is a good option if you want affordable monitored home security, and we have been very pleased since installing it five months ago.

"My new home came with a security system.  I called the number (Not Pro Techt Home Security) on the system to schedule an install.  On the day of the install I was told, after I called, that the install technician was going to be our for a week and so no one would be able to come out to set up my alarm system.  Thankfully I found Theo.  Theo was very helpful and was able to use the system that my home came with (unlike another security company). He installed extra equipment and provided a very reasonable price for monthly monitoring.  I highly recommend Pro Techt Home Security.  Theo turned a bad situation into a good one and I greatly appreciate his work.

""What struck me most about Chris was his patience along with his professionalism. I had never used a private detective before and was a little nervous, but he took the time to answer all my questions and explain the process. He was extremely accessible and kept me updated on my case. If you want someone who is professional, courteous, thorough, and who gets the job done right, I highly recommend Chris and CSI Secure Solutions.""

"That's the name I am vaguely familiar with; it's a home security company that is license to ADT franchise or dealer if I am correct.  They were very good.  They were prompt; they were quality.  The individuals move their business.  They were very timely and it was a good experience."

"First the good:
The up front cost cant be beat since all of the sensors and control panel were no cost to cover 20 doors and windows.  Installation was pretty straight forward and the phone reps were fairly knowledgeable and professional.  I added a couple features like an extra key pad, siren and glass break sensors that cost aprox $350.  The extras were a little pricey but compared to the $2000 another provided quoted, it was still a deal.
The control panel is cellular based so cutting your phone lines will not effect the alarm.
Now the not so good:
The quality of the sensors has not been very good.  I have had 2 DOA when the packages arrived new and 2 failed within several days.  When I contacted Protect America they were very nice about sending me new ones, but it took weeks and a couple calls before I saw the first replacements.  The second set of replacements that arrived for the failed units ended up being the wrong sensors.  Their shipping department does not seem to have good quality control.  The next very annoying element is the wait time on the phone when you are trying to get anything set up.  I spent a couple hours on hold working through the set up the first time and at least an hour the second time when I installed the replacement sensors.
Some cautions; make sure you hide the main control panel because if an intruder disables it before the alarm has sounded for 60 seconds, the police may not be notified.  Also they only call to check if everything is ok if the alarm is not canceled for 60 seconds.  So you can not be sure if the signal is getting through.
Monthly monitoring fee is high, but since the system was intially free, even after 3 years it is still the cheaper route.
Now that I have the equipment, once our contract is expired I will find a different alarm provider that responds to every alarm.
