It was also an educational experience as I learend about different locks and quality. I would use them gin and recommend them to anyone. A first class experience and great quaility

Overall, I’m completely satisfied with all of the work they performed, as well as the level of service they provide. I recommended them to my neighbors who also had a new system installed and are completely happy. Armor also monitors my alarm system and they have been 100% accurate. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Installation of a new, state of the art security system was done in 2012. Since then they’ve done various updates and service calls.

They were prompt and went right to work. It only took a few minutes for them to do the job. I have seen TV shows where locksmiths are called to perform simple job on simple problems and charge people a ridiculous amount of money. I was very pleased that this did not happen with Armor Security. The fix was simple and was only charged accordingly.
Description of Work: My key wouldn't turn in the lock. He sprayed something in the key hole and it worked just fine after that.

Armor is an excellent company to work with. Unlike other alarm companies that we have worked with in the past, you get an actual local person on the line when you have a concern, not some call center in Asia. I will definitely continue working with this company in the future.
Description of Work: We have worked with Armor over the past several years. Most recently, they added some components to our security system when we did a house renovation. We also have their online system where we can turn the alarm on/off etc. from our phones.

They no longer make the alarm pad I had but they were able to find a used one in storage. One of their representatives quickly brought it out and charged me only a nominal fee for the installation. It is working fine now. I've been happy with them. They are always prompt and courteous with anything I need. I would buy from the again.

The technician arrived promptly and set right to work. He was also able to point out some problems that I had with the door jam and increase the depth a hole of a deadbolt in my other door. He also replaced a missing screw for my front door. No extra charges were added. My locks now work marvoulsly. I would highly recommend this service.

The quote was around $2000. We had to go back and forth a little bit about what system we needed initially, because they had proposed using motion sensors in the house, which would be great when there is no one around, but not so great when we are sleeping because we are night time wanderers. So we had to add some other coverage to make sure that at night we were okay when we locked ourselves in and turned on the alarm. They were very responsive and very nice. We will use them.
